"Late-Stage Fluorination for PET Imaging"

Vortrag
The unnatural isotope fluorine–18 (18F) is used as a positron emitter in molecular imaging. Currently, many potentially useful 18F-labeled probe molecules are inaccessible for imaging, because no fluorination chemistry is available to make them. Syntheses must be rapid on account of the 110-minute half-life of 18F and benefit from using [18F] fluoride due to practical access and suitable isotope enrichment. But [18F] fluoride chemistry has been limited in reaction and substrate scope. I will describe the development of novel, modern fluorination reactions and evaluate them based on their utility for F-18 and F-19 chemistry. Late-stage fluorination enables the synthesis of new drug candidates and conventionally unavailable positron emission tomography (PET) tracers for anticipated applications in pharmaceutical development as well as pre-clinical and clinical PET imaging.
