Abstract

N4-Modified, novel Ara-C conjugate capable of radiolabeling with gamma ray-emitting (99mTc) as well as positron emitting (18F) radionuclides, that is, N4-hydrazine derivative was synthesized. The radiolabeling of N4-(hydrazinonicotinyl)-1-β-arabinofuranosyl cytosine (HAra-C) with 99mTc was performed with over 95% labeling yield. To label HAra-C with 18F, 4-fluoro (18F)-benzaldehyde was synthesized from 4-formyl-N, N, N- ...
