Abstract
Fluorine-18 labeled tryptophan analog L-1-[18F]fluoroethyl-tryptophan (L-1-[18F]FETrp) was designed for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of cancer by dual targeting of the overexpressed amino acid transporters and altered indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO)-mediated kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism. In our previous study, we described the radiosynthesis and preliminary evaluation of L-1-[18F]FETrp for PET imaging of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vivo imaging mechanism and further evaluate this radiotracer in more wide range types of cancers including prostate cancer, lung cancer, and glioma. The mice bearing subcutaneous PC-3 prostate cancer, subcutaneous H2009 and H460 lung cancers, subcutaneous MDA-MB-231, orthotopic A549 lung cancer, and intracranial 73C glioma were employed to evaluate L-1-[18F]FETrp for PET imaging of cancer. The in vivo catabolism of L-1-[18F]FETrp in the tumor was studied by analysis of PC-3 extracts with radio-HPLC. Small animal PET/CT imaging of L-1-[18F]FETrp visualized all tumors in these different mouse models with high accumulations of radioactivity in PC-3 (7.5 ± 0.6 % ID/g), H2009 (5.3 ± 0.8 % ID/g), H460 (9.0 ± 1.4 % ID/g), A549 (4.5 ± 0.5 % ID...Continue Reading
