<meta name="description" content="Hypoxia in malignant tumors is thought to be a major factor limiting the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and its accurate diagnosis is considered a very important and urgent problem to address. This has led to the search and development of hypoxia-targeted imaging techniques and non-invasive markers of tumor hypoxia. Among these, [18F]-labeled nitroimidazoles, used in conjunction with positron emission tomography (PET), offer an alternative to the Eppendorf (oxygen) electrode method because they are less invasive and less prone to sampling errors.">

This has led to the search and development of hypoxia-targeted imaging techniques and non-invasive markers of tumor hypoxia. Among these, [<sup>18</sup>F]-labeled nitroimidazoles, used in conjunction with positron emission tomography (PET), offer an alternative to the Eppendorf (oxygen) electrode method because they are less invasive and less prone to sampling errors.</p><p>During initial development of nitroimidazoles for <i>in vivo</i> imaging, radiohalogenated derivatives of misonidazole, such as fluoromisonidazole (<a href="/books/n/micad/FMISO/?report=reader">[<sup>18</sup>F]FMISO</a>), were used, some of which have been used in patients. The two main problems with [<sup>18</sup>F]FMISO are: 1) its relatively low concentration within the lesion; and 2) the need to wait several hours to allow clearance of the agent from the normoxic background tissue (contrast between lesion and background is typically &#x0003c;2:1 at about 90 min after injection). This combination of circumstances makes successful evaluation of hypoxic lesions a challenge, even with high-resolution positron emission tomography (PET).</p><p>Fluoroetanidazole ([<sup>18</sup>F]FETA), a fluorinated analog of etanidazole, is being investigated as a possible candidate for PET imaging of tumor hypoxia. Thus far, results from comparative studies between [<sup>18</sup>F]FETA and [<sup>18</sup>F]FMISO (<a class="bibr" href="#FETA.EXTYLES.1" rid="FETA.EXTYLES.1">1</a>) have shown similar oxygen-dependent binding for both tracers, when compared <i>in vitro</i> on the same cell lines. <i>In vivo</i>, the two tracers displayed a similar retention in tumors at 4 h after injection, but fewer metabolites were found in plasma and urine for [<sup>18</sup>F]FETA, which might offer some advantages for <i>in vivo</i> imaging (<a class="bibr" href="#FETA.EXTYLES.2" rid="FETA.EXTYLES.2">2</a>).</p><p>The oxygen-dependent metabolism of nitroimidazoles is an intracellular process consisting of a series of one-electron reductions. The nitro-radical anion produced in the first reduction step is very reactive toward oxygen, leaving no substrate for the second step of the reduction process. In contrast, an environment of low oxygen concentration induces further reductive reactions that ultimately lead to the formation of either reactive products that are able to covalently bind to cell components or charged species that diffuse slowly out of the tissues (<a class="bibr" href="#FETA.EXTYLES.3" rid="FETA.EXTYLES.3">3</a>). The reactive products observed during this multi-step process include nitroso (2e-), hydroxylamine (4e-), and amine (6e-) derivatives. When the fragmentation of the imidazole ring occurs, reactive portions of the molecule, such as glyoxal, bind to macromolecular components of cells in tissues and tumors (<a class="bibr" href="#FETA.EXTYLES.4" rid="FETA.EXTYLES.4">4</a>).</p></div><div id="FETA.Synthesis"><h2 id="_FETA_Synthesis_">Synthesis</h2><p>[<a href="/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=PureSearch&#x00026;db=pubmed&#x00026;details_term=fluoroetanidazole%20AND%20synthesis" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">PubMed</a>]</p><p>[<sup>18</sup>F]FETA can be synthesized by an active ester coupling reaction between the 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl ester of 2-nitroimidazole acetic acid and [<sup>18</sup>F]fluoroethylamine.

In contrast, a rapid time-dependent linear increase was observed under hypoxic conditions (reaching about 13 &#x000d7; 10&#x02212;<sup>3</sup>% per 10<sup>6</sup> cells at 120 min). [<sup>18</sup>F]FETA uptake by hypoxic RIF-1 cells became significant at 60 min and showed 3.0- and 4.3-fold increases as compared with normoxic cells at 60 and 120 min, respectively.

High-performance liquid chromatography of urine demonstrated that 10% and 15% of [<sup>18</sup>F]FETA -derived activity was in metabolites at 2 and 4 h after injection, respectively.
