Artigo IPEN-doc 28825 Synthesis of a 2‑nitroimidazole derivative N‑(4‑[18F]fluorobenzyl)‑2‑(2‑nitro‑1H‑imidazol‑1‑yl)‑acetamide ([18F]FBNA) as PET radiotracer for imaging tumor hypoxia2022 - NARIO, ARIAN P.; WOODFIELD, JENILEE; SANTOS, SOFIA N. dos; BERGMAN, CODY; WUEST, MELINDA; ARAUJO, YASNIEL B.; LAPOLLI, ANDRE L.; WEST, FREDERICK G.; WUEST, FRANK; BERNARDES, EMERSON S.Background: Tissue hypoxia is a pathological condition characterized by reducing oxygen supply. Hypoxia is a hallmark of tumor environment and is commonly observed in many solid tumors. Non-invasive imaging techniques like positron emission tomography (PET) are at the forefront of detecting and monitoring tissue hypoxia changes in vivo. Results: We have developed a novel 18F-labeled radiotracer for hypoxia PET imaging based on cytotoxic agent benznidazole. Radiotracer N-(4-[18F]fluorobenzyl)-2-(2-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)acetamide ([18F]FBNA) was synthesized through acylation chemistry with readily available 4-[18F]fluorobenzyl amine. Radiotracer [18F]FBNA was obtained in good radiochemical yields (47.4 ± 5.3%) and high radiochemical purity (> 95%). The total synthesis time was 100 min, including HPLC purification and the molar activity was greater than 40 GBq/µmol. Radiotracer [18F]FBNA was stable in saline and mouse serum for 6 h. [18F]FBNA partition coefficient (logP = 1.05) was found to be more lipophilic than [18F]EF-5 (logP = 0.75), [18F]FMISO (logP = 0.4) and [18F]FAZA (logP = − 0.4). In vitro studies showed that [18F]FBNA accumulates in gastric cancer cell lines AGS and MKN45 under hypoxic conditions. Conclusions: Hence, [18F]FBNA represents a novel and easy-to-prepare PET radioligand for imaging hypoxia.
