TE-L-Tyrosine (CAS 478037-15-9), also known as O-(2-Tosyloxyethyl)-N-trityl-L-tyrosine tert-butyl ester, serves as a precursor for synthesizing O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET). Researchers widely apply FET, a fluorine-18 labeled tracer, in PET/CT imaging to evaluate amino acid transport, particularly in brain tumors.
Key Features:
- Molecular Formula: C₄₁H₄₃NO₆S
- Molecular Weight: 677.86 g/mol
- Functionality: Precursor for radiopharmaceutical synthesis
Applications:
