Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to develop an improved method for the radiolabeling of 18F-FIBG, a 18F labeled analog of MIBG, and evaluate its potential as a PET imaging agent for the detection of pheochromocytoma. Hetero-diaryliodonium salt of N-Boc protected diiodobenzylguanidine was synthesized as a labeling precursor. The two-step conversion from the precursor readily produced 18F-FIBG. The PET image revealed visible 18F-FIBG uptake in the tumor in the subcutaneous pheochromocytoma xenograft mice. Above all, 18F-FIBG constitutes a promising PET pheochromocytoma-imaging agent.
