Synthesis of 2-[(2-chloro-2′-[18F]fluoroethyl)amino]-2H-1, 3,2-oxazaphosphorinane-2-oxide (18F-fluorocyclophosphamide), a potential tracer for breast tumor prognostic imaging with PET

A fluorine-18 labeled analog of the widely used chemotherapeutic agent cyclophosphamide was synthesized as a tracer for prognostic imaging with positron emission tomography. 2-[(2-Chloro-2′-[18F]fluoroethyl) amino]-2H-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinane-2-oxide (18F- fluorocyclophosphamide), was prepared by direct halogen exchange reaction from the parent cyclophosphamide. In small-scale syntheses, radiochemical yields of up to 4.9% and specific activities of 960 Ci/mmol were achieved in a total synthesis time of 60-75 min. The [18F]-labeled cyclophosphamide analog with radioactive purity >99% and chemical purity >96% was suitable for in vivo (microPET imaging) and ex vivo studies of a murine model of human breast tumors.
