为了研究正电子核素18F标记的葡萄糖转运蛋白显像剂6-18氟-6-脱氧葡萄糖的制备及在小鼠体内的生物学分布, 以D-葡萄糖为起始原料, 经过丙酮和苯甲醛对1,2,3,5位羟基的定位保护, 然后用对甲苯磺酰氯和6位的羟基反应得到能被18F-进攻的离去基团, 最后用18F-离子通过亲核取代反应实现对葡萄糖6位的氟代标记; 反应中间体用NMR和MS表征, 最终产物用标准品6-19FDG在HPLC下对照确认, 测定放化纯度, 观察其在小鼠体内的生物学分布. 6-18氟-6-脱氧葡萄糖的放射性标记过程需35 min(从加速器轰击结束算起), 放化产率70%±5%(校正后, n=5), 放化纯度〉95%. 小鼠体内的生物学分布表明, 各个器官在1.0 min达到峰值, 然后逐渐平衡. 初步研究结果表明, 6-18FDG是一种很有价值的葡萄糖转运蛋白显像剂, 为以后的体内外研究及活体显像奠定了基础.
For the development glucose transport imaging, a radioactive glucose analogue was synthesized and evaluated. A glucose analogue, 6-[18F]fluoro-6-deoxy-D-glucose(6-18FDG), was prepared in two steps with one-pot synthesis from [18F]fluoride and tosyl-precursor. Starting with D-glucose, the D-glucose was reacted with acetone and benzaldehyde to protect hydoxy, then reacted with p-toluenesulfonyl choride(TsCl) to get the tosyl-precursor. All the intermediates were identified with NMR and MS. The total radiosysthesis spent 35 min and with 70%±5%(EOB, decay corrected, n=5), with the radiochemical purity〉95%. Biodistribution of 6-18FDG was performed in mice: 18F activities in brain, liver, and heart reach the peak in 1.0 min after the injection, so reached a constant level. These results support that 6-18FDG is promising as valid tracer of glucose transport.
