• Synonyms: 9H-purine, 2-fluoro-9-(phenylmethyl)-

Description

2-Fluoro-9-benzylpurine is a stable and halogenated analog of purine. It is hydrolyzed by the enzyme in the body and converted to fluorodeoxyglucose, which is then used for labeling of cells. 2-Fluoro-9-benzylpurine has been used for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging studies as a radiolabeling agent and for diagnosis of malignant tumors. Its specific activity is high enough to allow it to be used in preparations with low concentrations of active ingredient. 2-Fluoro-9-benzylpurine's uptake has been shown to be influenced by chloride ions and glutathione levels in the blood, which can be beneficial when using it as a tracer.
