A novel pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2)-specific activator, [11C]DASA-23 and derivatives thereof, and methods for their rapid synthesis are provided. The probes are particularly useful in methods for the non-invasive positron emission tomography (PET) detection and imaging of PKM2 expression in subcutaneous and orthotopic tumors. [11C]DASA-23 cell uptake correlates with PKM2 protein expression in cultured tumor cells and orthotopic tumors are delineated from the surrounding normal brain tissue in vivo.

DASA-23 及其衍
生物,以及快速合成它们的方法。这些探针特别适用于皮下和原位肿瘤中 PKM2 表达的无创正电子发射断层扫描(PET)检测和成像方法。[11C]
DASA-23细胞摄取与培养肿瘤细胞中的PKM2蛋白表达相关,而且在体内可将原位肿瘤与周围正常脑组织区分开来。
