Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Imaging agents are described that comprise labeled substrates capable of being introduced into cells via the cystine/glutamate antiporter. The substrates may be used for imaging or detecting oxidative stress in cells by introducing the labeled agents into cells via the cystine/glutamate antiporter and subsequent detection.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An imaging agent comprising a compound of Formula I wherein R is H or C 1 -C 5 alkyl; Y is acyl or sulfonyl; A=null, —O—CH 2 —, —C 2 H 4 —, or —CH 2 —O— Ar=4-substituted phenyl, a 4-substituted naphthalene-1-yl, a 5-substituted naphthalene-1-yl, or a 6-substituted naphthalene-1-yl; X is 18 F, 3 H, —(CH 2 ) m Z, or —O—(CH 2 ) m Z, Z is 18 F or 3 H; n is an integer between 1 and 3; and m is an integer between 1 and 5. 2. The agent of claim 1 wherein Y is acyl. 3. The agent of claim 2 wherein Z is 18 F or 3 H. 4. The agent of claim 3 wherein Z is a singularly occurring 18 F. 5. The agent of claim 1 wherein Formula I is 6. The agent of claim 1 wherein Formula I is 7. The agent of claim 1 wherein Formula I is 8. The agent of claim 1 wherein Formula I is
