Synthesis and preliminary evaluation of [1-11C]hexanoate as a PET tracer of fatty acid metabolism

Abstract: The potential of [1-11C]hexanoate (11C-HA) as a radiopharmaceutical assessing fatty acid metabolism of the myocardium and brain tissues by PET studies was evaluated. 11C-HA was synthesized by the Grignard reaction of pentylmagnesium bromide and 11CO2. 11C-HA, [1-14C]acetate and [3H]deoxyglucose were simultaneously injected i.v. into mice, and the tissue distribution of the three radionuclides was measured. In the heart, high uptake and rapid clearance of 11C and 14C was found. The brain uptake of 11C was twice… Show more

“…Regarding the usefulness of "C-fatty acids other than [1-"C]octanoate, [1-' 1 C] acetate has been used as a tracer of the TCA cycle flux and thus overall oxidative metabolism in the myocardium." In addition, Ishiwata K et al 15 suggested the potential use of [1-"Clhexanoate for imaging the oxidation process in the myocardium and brain. Referring to these 1 'C-fatty acids, [1-"C]octanoate also seems to be available for measuring the oxidative metabolism in the brain.…”

“…13 Nagatsugi F et al 14 synthesized 8- [ 18 F]fluorooctanoic acid and its related compounds and showed their biodistribution and brain uptake in rats. Recently, Ishiwata K et al 15 evaluated the potential of [1-"C]hexanoate ("C-HA) as a radiopharmaceutical for assessing fatty acid metabolism in the myocardium and brain by means of biodistribution studies in mice. They confirmed that "C-HA is taken up into the brain rather more efficiently than [1-' 4C]acetate or [1-14C]palmitate.…”

“…24,25 We have developed a fullyautomated apparatus for the preparation of the [1-11 C]carboxylic acids and used it for routinely supplying [1-11 C]octanoic acid to PET studies. 26 In the manipulation of radioactivity, it is most important to minimize the operator's exposure to radiation.…”

“…512 In PET imaging, it has been evaluated to assess FA metabolism in myocardial and brain tissue. 513,514 • Linoleic acid is an essential FA crucial for the biosynthesis of arachidonic acid. Due to its biological role, it could be used for visualizing FAs metabolism in physio-/pathological conditions.…”
