The present invention provides radiolabeled trimethoprim which are useful in imaging tests such as PET scans. The compounds show robust bacterial uptake in vitro and identify infections from inflammation or tumor when administered to a subject. The compounds show rapid and sensitive detection of Ec DHFR containing tumors from control tumors and background tissue. In one aspect, a compound having the structure of formula (I) is provided or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, wherein R is defined herein. Also provided are compositions containing these compounds, positron emission tomography reporter probe comprising these compounds, and methods of imaging a bacterial infection, tracking or monitoring bacteria, distinguishing a bacterial infection from inflammation or tumor, monitoring genetically fused protein expression, and monitoring genetically engineered cells in clinical scenarios such as immunotherapy for cancer treatment.
本发明提供了可用于 PET 扫描等成像检测的放射性标记三甲氧苄氨嘧啶。这些化合物在体外显示出强大的细菌吸收能力,并能在给受试者用药时识别炎症或肿瘤感染。这些化合物能从对照肿瘤和背景组织中快速灵敏地检测出含有 Ec DHFR 的肿瘤。在一个方面,提供了具有式(I)结构的化合物或其药学上可接受的盐或原药,其中 R 在此定义。此外,还提供了含有这些化合物的组合物、含有这些化合物的正电子发射断层扫描报告探针,以及细菌感染成像、跟踪或监测细菌、区分细菌感染与炎症或肿瘤、监测基因融合蛋白表达、监测临床应用(如癌症治疗的免疫疗法)中基因工程细胞的方法。
