Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in the development and progression of cancer and other diseases, motivating the development of translatable technologies for biological ROS imaging. Here we report Peroxy-Caged-[(18)F]Fluorodeoxy thymidine-1 (PC-FLT-1), an oxidatively immolative positron emission tomography (PET) probe for H2O2 detection. PC-FLT-1 reacts with H2O2 to generate [(18)F]FLT, allowing its peroxide-dependent uptake and retention in proliferating cells. The relative up ...[more]
