Popis: Positron-emission tomography (PET) can be used to visualize active stage cancer. Fluorine-18 ([ 18 F])-labeled 2-([ 18 F])2-deoxy-2-fluoroglucose (([ 18 F])-FDG), which accumulates in glucose-dependent tissues, is a good cancer-targeting tracer. However, ([ 18 F])-FDG is obscured in glucose-dependent normal tissues. In this study, we assessed the cancer-selective accumulation of zinc-labeled glycoconjugated 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (ZnGlc 1 – 4 ), both in vitro and in vivo. Experiments using both normal and cancer cells confirmed the relationship between cancer cell-selective accumulation and the substitution numbers and orientations of glycoconjugated porphyrins. ZnGlc trans - 2 accumulated at greater levels in cancer cells compared with other glycoconjugated porphyrins. PET imaging showed that ZnGlc trans - 2 accumulated in tumor.
