The invention provides novel 18F labeled substituted
benzimidazole compounds, which are characterized in that: one end of each compound contains an 18F substituted alkoxy structure, and the other end contains a 6-carboxyl / H
benzimidazole structure; a
substituent group R1, located on the site 2 of
benzimidazole matrix, is
hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl,
isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, benzyl, 2-methylthio ethyl and phenyl; a
substituent group R2, located on the site 4 of benzimidazole matrix, is
hydrogen, methyl and ethyl; and the structure of the compound is shown in formula A, wherein n is between 1 and 5, R2 is H, Me and Et, X is COOH and H. Experiments show that the compounds have high bioactivity such as fast serum removal,
high serum stability and relatively low intake in tissues or organs such as liver and relatively high enrichment and slow removal rate in
tumor cells, and therefore the compounds have relatively high tumor / background value and are favorable for PET
tumor imaging. Meanwhile, the labeled precursor of the compounds is easy to synthesize and the labeling rate is extremely high; and such advantages indicate that the compounds have the tremendous potential to become PET
tumor imaging agents.
