چکیده

A series of pro-nucleotide phosphoramidates and phosphorodiamidates of the antiviral lead compound 3'-deoxy-3'-fluorothymidine (FLT) have been designed and synthesized. In vitro antiretroviral and cytostatic studies revealed potent (sub-micromolar) inhibition of HIV-1 and HIV-2 replication, with retention of activity in thymidine kinase-negative cell models, as predicted by the ProTide concept.

FLT: measuring tumor cell proliferation in vivo with positron emission tomography and 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine.

Positron emission tomography (PET) using the radiotracer 3'-deoxy-3'-[(18)F]fluorothymidine (FLT) can image cellular proliferation in human cancers in vivo. FLT uptake has been shown to correlate with pathology-based proliferation measurements, including the Ki-67 score, in a variety of human cancers. Unlike pathology-based measurements, imaging-based methods, including FLT-PET, are noninvasive...

Kinetic modeling of 3'-deoxy-3'-fluorothymidine in somatic tumors: mathematical studies.

UNLABELLED We present a method to measure the regional rate of cellular proliferation using a positron-emitting analog of thymidine (TdR) for human imaging studies. The method is based on the use of 3'-deoxy-3'-(18)F-fluorothymidine (FLT) to estimate the flux of TdR through the exogenous pathway. The model reflects the retention of FLT-monophosphate (FLTMP), which is generated by the phosphoryl...

Preliminary 19F-MRS Study of Tumor Cell Proliferation with 3′-deoxy-3′-fluorothymidine and Its Metabolite (FLT-MP)

The thymidine analogue 3'-deoxy-3'-[18F]fluorothymidine, or [18F]fluorothymidine ([18F]FLT), is used to measure tumor cell proliferation with positron emission tomography (PET) imaging technology in nuclear medicine. FLT is phosphorylated by thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) and then trapped inside cells; it is not incorporated into DNA. Imaging with 18F-radiolabeled FLT is a noninvasive technique to vi...

An Assessment of Early Response to Targeted Therapy via Molecular Imaging: A Pilot Study of 3′-deoxy-3′[(18)F]-Fluorothymidine Positron Emission Tomography 18F-FLT PET/CT in Prostate Adenocarcinoma

Fluorothymidine is a thymidine analog labeled with fluorine-18 fluorothymidine for positron emission tomography (18F-FLT-PET) imaging. Thymidine is a nucleic acid that is used to build DNA. Fluorine-18 fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) utilizes the same metabolic pathway as does thymidine but has a very low incidence of being incorporated into the DNA (<1%). 18F-FLT-PET could have a role in the evaluat...

3-deoxy-3-[(18)F]fluorothymidine-positron emission tomography for noninvasive assessment of proliferation in pulmonary nodules.

We investigated whether uptake of the thymidine analogue 3-deoxy-3-[(18)F]fluorothymidine ([(18)F]FLT) reflects proliferation in solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). Thirty patients with SPNs were prospectively examined with positron emission tomography. Standardized uptake values were calculated for quantification of FLT uptake. Histopathology revealed 22 malignant and 8 benign lesions. Prolifer...
