Conti P, Bading J, Mouton P, Links J, Alauddin M, Fissekis J, et al.
Nucl Med Biol . 2007 Dec; 35(1):131-41. PMID: 18158952
Introduction: Noncatabolized thymidine analogs are being developed for use in imaging DNA synthesis. We sought to relate a labeling index measured by immunohistochemical staining bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) technique to the uptake...

Introduction: Many fluorinated analogues of adenosine nucleoside have been synthesized and studied as potential antitumor and antiviral agents. Earlier, we reported radiosynthesis of 2'-deoxy-2'-[(18)F]fluoro-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-adenine ([(18)F]-FAA) and 3'-deoxy-3'-[(18)F]fluoro-1-beta-d-xylofuranosyl-adenine ([(18)F]FXA). Now, we...

Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging . 2007 Jan; 34(6):822-9. PMID: 17206416
Purpose: FIAU and FEAU were evaluated in vitro and in vivo as markers for HSV1-tk gene expression. Methods: In vitro and biodistribution studies were performed in wild type and transduced...

Unlabelled: 2'-deoxy-2'-(18)F-fluoro-5-fluoro-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyluracil ((18)F-FFAU) has been synthesized and evaluated in HT-29 cells as a potential PET agent for herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV1-tk) gene expression. Methods: 2-Deoxy-2-(18)F-fluoro-1,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-arabinofuranose was...

Nucl Med Biol . 2004 Apr; 31(4):407-18. PMID: 15093810
The thymidine analog 2'-fluoro-5-methyl-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyluracil (FMAU) is incorporated into DNA and is resistant to catabolism. We performed pharmacokinetic measurements with [(14)C]FMAU and PET studies with [(11)C]FMAU using rats bearing several different...

Nucl Med Biol . 2004 Apr; 31(4):399-405. PMID: 15093809
[(18)F]-FBAU and [(18)F]-FCAU have been synthesized and evaluated in vivo as markers for HSV1-tk gene expression. At 2 hours, uptake of [(18)F]-FBAU and [(18)F]-FCAU in HSV1-tk-positive tumors was 7.9-fold and...

Cancer Res . 2003 Jul; 63(13):3667-74. PMID: 12839957
Drug uptake and anabolism by tumors are prerequisites of response to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Positron emission tomography (PET) with 5-[(18)F]FU (PET/5-[(18)F]FU) is potentially useful for noninvasive measurement of these processes, but...
