Product Information

• Name: 1,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-2-O-trifluoromethanesulfonyl-b-D-talopyranose
• Synonyms: Talose Triflate1,3,4,6-Tetraacetyl 2-(trifluoromethanesulfonate) b-D-talopyranose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-2-O-trifluoromethanesulfonyl-b-D-talopyranose (TATP) is a radiopharmaceutical that is used in positron emission tomography (PET) scans. TATP has been shown to be sensitive to changes in the body's metabolism and can be used to identify areas of inflammation or disease. TATP is a nucleophilic compound that can be hydrolyzed by basic conditions such as hydroxide ion or hydrogen peroxide. Hydrolysis of TATP yields galactose and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. The yield of TATP from the reaction with hydroxide ion is low because it reacts quickly with water. This compound has been used as a contrast agent for imaging because it is readily taken up by cells and accumulates in areas of high metabolic activity such as tumors
