Abstract: A new [(18)F] labeled amino acid anti-1-amino-2-[(18)F]fluoro-cyclobutyl-1-carboxylic acid 9 (anti-2-[(18)F]FACBC) was synthesized in 30% decay-corrected yield with high radiochemical purity over 99%. The cyclic sulfamidate precursor was very stable and highly reactive towards nucleophilic radiofluorination. Cell uptake assays with rat 9L gliosarcoma cells showed that [(18)F]9 was transported into tumor cells via multiple amino acid transport systems, including L and A systems. Biodistribution study in rats with intracranial 9L gliosarcoma tumors demonstrated that [(18)F]9 had a rapid and prolonged accumulation in tumors with 26:1 tumor to brain ratio at 120 min post-injection. In this model, [(18)F]9 is a potential PET tracer for brain tumor imaging.
