Given the ever-present demand for improved PET radiotracer in oncology imaging, we have synthesized 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6-(2-[18F]fluoroethoxy)benzothiazole ([18F]FEDBT), a fluorine-18-containing fluoroethylated benzothiazole to explore its utility as a PET imaging tracer. [18F]FEDBT was prepared via kryptofix-mediated nucleophilic substitution of the tosyl group precursor. Fractionated ethanol-based solid-phase (SPE cartridge-based) purification afforded [18F]FEDBT in 60% radiochemical yield (EOB), with radiochemical purity in excess of 98% and the specific activity was 35 GBq/μmol. The radiotracer displayed clearly higher cellular uptake ratio in various breast cancer cell lines MCF7, MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231. However, both biodistribution and microPET studies have showed an higher abdominal accumulation of [18F]FEDMBT and the tumor/muscle ratio of 1.8 was observed in the MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumors mice model. Further the lipophilic improvement is needed for the reducement of hepatobilliary accumulation and to promote the tumor uptake for PET imaging of breast cancer.
