The current work evaluates 1-alpha-d-(2-deoxy-2-fluororibofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole (FRAZ), a novel azomycin nucleoside that is a potential radiosensitizer of tumor hypoxia. FRAZ is a ribose analogue of 1-alpha-d-(2-deoxy-2-fluoroarabinofuranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole ([(18)F]-FAZA), a clinically used hypoxia marker. Preliminary assessment of the cytotoxicity and hypoxia-specific in vitro binding in HCT-110 colorectal cancer cells indicate that the radiosensitization properties of FRAZ are similar to that of FAZA, with a sensitizer enhancement ratio (SER) of approximately 1.8. An automated radiosynthesis of [(18)F]-FRAZ using a commercial automated synthesis unit (ASU) was established (synthesis time approximately 32 min; radiochemical yield (decay uncorrecetd) approximately 22%) to facilitate its application in PET-based diagnosis of hypoxic tumors.
当前的工作评估了 1-α-d-(2-脱氧-2-氟代呋喃核糖基)-2-硝基咪唑(FRAZ),一种新型的氮霉素核苷,是肿瘤缺氧的潜在放射增敏剂。FRAZ 是 1-α-d-(2-脱氧-2-氟代阿拉伯呋喃核糖基)-2-硝基咪唑([(18)F]-FAZA)的核糖类似物,[(18)F]-FAZA 是一种临床使用的缺氧标志物。在 HCT-110 结直肠癌细胞中对细胞毒性和缺氧特异性体外结合的初步评估表明,FRAZ 的放射增敏特性与 FAZA 相似,增敏比(SER)约为 1.8。使用商业自动化合成单元(ASU)建立了[(18)F]-FRAZ 的自动放射合成(合成时间约 32 分钟;放射性化学产率(未校正衰减)约 22%),以促进其在基于 PET 的缺氧肿瘤诊断中的应用。
