Recent Advances in the Clinical Translation of Silicon Fluoride Acceptor (SiFA) (18)F-Radiopharmaceuticals

The incorporation of silicon fluoride acceptor (SiFA) moieties into a variety of molecules, such as peptides, proteins and biologically relevant small molecules, has improved the generation of (18)F-radiopharmaceuticals for medical imaging. The efficient isotopic exchange radiofluorination process,...

Sumario:The incorporation of silicon fluoride acceptor (SiFA) moieties into a variety of molecules, such as peptides, proteins and biologically relevant small molecules, has improved the generation of (18)F-radiopharmaceuticals for medical imaging. The efficient isotopic exchange radiofluorination process, in combination with the enhanced [(18)F]SiFA in vivo stability, make it a suitable strategy for fluorine-18 incorporation. This review will highlight the clinical applicability of [(18)F]SiFA-labeled compounds and discuss the significant radiotracers currently in clinical use.
