Fludeoxyglucose

A glucose analogue labelled with fluorine-18, the reference tracer of PET imaging. Prepared at Brookhaven in the 1970s, it was first given to volunteers in 1976 at the University of Pennsylvania; today it is used in oncology, neurology and cardiology. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities and other impurities.

Did you know?Fluorodeoxyglucose, not yet radioactive, was first synthesised in 1968 in Prague, at Charles University, by the chemists Josef Pacák, Zdeněk Točík and Miloslav Černý.
