The primary pathway for entry of folate into cells is through the facilitated transporter, which has a low affinity for folate (Michaelis constant (Km) = 1-5 μM). Some cells in the choroid plexus, kidney, lung, thyroid, spleen, placenta, and thymus also possess a higher affinity (dissociation constant (Kd) = 0.5 nM) receptor that allows folate uptake via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Some human epithelial tumor cells were found to overexpress folate-binding protein (2). More than 90% of human ovarian and endometrial cancers express the high-affinity receptor, which is absent in normal tissues. Breast, colorectal, renal, and lung carcinomas also overexpress the folate receptor but at lower frequencies (20-50%). Activated macrophages, but not resting macrophages, have been also found to have folate receptor (3)." /><meta name="og:title" content="66/67/68Ga-γ-Deferoxamine-folate" /><meta name="og:type" content="book" /><meta name="og:description" content="Folic acid (folate) is a water-soluble B vitamin (1) that is essential for methylation and DNA synthesis.

The primary pathway for entry of folate into cells is through the facilitated transporter, which has a low affinity for folate (Michaelis constant (<i>K</i><sub>m</sub>) = 1-5 &#x003bc;M). Some cells in the choroid plexus, kidney, lung, thyroid, spleen, placenta, and thymus also possess a higher affinity (dissociation constant (<i>K</i><sub>d</sub>) = 0.5 nM) receptor that allows folate uptake via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Some human epithelial tumor cells were found to overexpress folate-binding protein (<a class="bk_pop" href="#Folate-DF-Ga.REF.2">2</a>). More than 90% of human ovarian and endometrial cancers express the high-affinity receptor, which is absent in normal tissues. Breast, colorectal, renal, and lung carcinomas also overexpress the folate receptor but at lower frequencies (20-50%). Activated macrophages, but not resting macrophages, have been also found to have folate receptor (<a class="bk_pop" href="#Folate-DF-Ga.REF.3">3</a>).</p><p>Several folate-based conjugates (<sup>111</sup>In-DTPA-folate, <sup>99m</sup>Tc-EC-folate and [<sup>18</sup>F]FBA-folate) have been studied in tumor imaging (<a class="bk_pop" href="#Folate-DF-Ga.REF.4" data-bk-pop-others="Folate-DF-Ga.REF.5 Folate-DF-Ga.REF.6 Folate-DF-Ga.REF.7 Folate-DF-Ga.REF.8">4-8</a>). Deferoxamine (DF), a chelating agent, was conjugated to folic acid forming a mixture of two isomers, DF-&#x003b1;-folate and DF-&#x003b3;-folate. Only the DF-&#x003b3;-folate isomer was able to displace [<sup>3</sup>H]folic acid from its receptors with a similar IC<sub>50</sub> to folic acid (2.5 versus 2.4 nM) (<a class="bk_pop" href="#Folate-DF-Ga.REF.9">9</a>). <sup>68/67/66</sup>Ga-&#x003b3;-DF-folate is being developed as an imaging agent for detection of folate receptors <i>in vivo</i> with either positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).</p><div id="Folate-DF-Ga.Related_Resource_Links"><h3>Related Resource Links:</h3><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>
