Flortanidazole
Flortanidazole is a derivative of 2-Nitroimidazole (HY-N0195). Under hypoxic conditions, Flortanidazole accumulates in hypoxic tissues through the reduction of 2-nitroimidazole and the retention of reactive intermediates by viable hypoxic cells. Flortanidazole binds to intracellular macromolecules under hypoxic conditions, thereby enabling quantification of tumor hypoxia. [18F]Flortanidazole, formed after labeling Flortanidazole with 18F, is a hypoxic PET imaging tracer and prognostic imaging biomarker. Flortanidazole can be used in the study of non-small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer.

-
Animal Model:CD-1 athymic nude mice (female, 7-9 weeks of age, A549 xenograft model)[1]
-
Dosage:100 mg/kg (metformin hydrochloride); 18.5 MBq (18F-flortanidazole)
-
Administration:i.v. (metformin); i.v. bolus (18F-flortanidazole)
-
Result:Reduced mean intratumoral 18F-flortanidazole TBR from 3.21 to 2.87 after metformin administration.
Increased median tumor doubling time to 52 days when metformin was combined with radiotherapy, compared to 34 days for radiotherapy alone and 19 days for controls.
Decreased relative tumor volumes in the metformin + radiotherapy group compared to controls from day 7 (0.68 vs. 1.43) and compared to radiotherapy alone from day 12 (0.77 vs. 1.27).
Demonstrated a hazard ratio of 2.0 for every unit increase in baseline TBR for tumor doubling time.
Showed a relative reduction of 72% in the risk of tumor doubling for tumors with baseline TBR ≤2.5 when metformin was added to radiotherapy.

Animal Model:CD-1 athymic nude mice (female, A549 xenograft model)[1]
-
Dosage:100 mg/kg (metformin hydrochloride); 18.5 MBq (18F-flortanidazole)
-
Administration:i.v. (metformin); i.v. (18F-flortanidazole)
-
Result:Showed high accumulation of radioactivity in urine (0.23 %ID) and large intestine (2.36 %ID/g) with low blood-pool activity (0.05 %ID/g) in the metformin-treated group.
Observed no significant differences in the 18F-flortanidazole biodistribution profile between metformin-treated mice and controls.
-
Animal Model:CD-1 athymic nude mice (female, 6-7 weeks of age)[2]
-
Dosage:18.5 MBq
-
Administration:i.v. bolus; single dose; day 0 and day 1
-
Result:Decreased tumor-to-background ratio from 2.53 to 2.28, representing approximately 9% reduction.
Increased hazard of tumor doubling by 8.6% per 10.0% increase in tumor-to-background ratio (hazard ratio, 2.39).

-
Dosage:18.5 MBq
-
Administration:i.v. bolus
-
Result:Decreased pimonidazole-detected tumor hypoxia at 48 h post-therapy to 3.48% compared to 10.79% in controls.
