Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative chemical structures and functional groups of (A) FAPI-04, (B) FAPI-46, and (C) Alb-FAPtp-01 and (D) the developed peptide tracer (Alb-FAPtp-02). (E) FAP expression level in U-87MG and HEK293T. (F) Cellular uptake of ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-04, ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-46, and ⁶⁸Ga-Alb-FAPtp-02 in U-87 MG and HEK293T cells. No significant. (G) Competitive binding assay showing inhibition of tracer uptake in U-87 MG cells by non-radiolabeled FAPI-04, confirming FAP-specific binding (n = 3, mean ± s.d.). ( H ) In vivo dynamic PET imaging analysis comparison of FAP tracers. Representative dynamic PET/CT imaging of ⁶⁸Ga-Alb-FAPtp-02, ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-46 and ⁶⁸Ga-FAPI-04 in mice with glioma xenografts. (I) the corresponding time-activity curves of radiotracers for U-87 MG tumors and muscle. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD post hoc test. * p < 0.05.
Article Snippet: The FAPI-04 precursor was sourced from KriSan Biotech Co. (Tainan, Taiwan), a PICS/GMP-compliant pharmaceutical manufacturer, whereas the FAPI-46 precursor was purchased from MedChemExpress (MCE, New Jersey, USA).
