Two radiolabeled bicyclic nucleoside analogues (BCNAs) were synthesized, namely 3-(2'-deoxy-

[18F]-2 and [11C]-3 were synthesized starting from phenol precursor 1. The phenol precursor 1 wasconverted to stable as well as to radiolabeled compounds 2 and 3 using 19/18FCH2CH2Br or 12/11CH3I asalkylating agent. In vitro evaluation of [18F]-2 and [11C]-3 in 293T cells showed a 4.5 and 53-fold higheruptake, respectively, into VZV-tk gene-transduced cells compared to control cells. However, biodistributionstudies in mice demonstrated low uptake of these tracers in the brain. RP-HPLC analysis of plasma andurine samples of mice injected with [11C]-3 revealed that this tracer is very stable in vivo. These data warrantfurther evaluation of these tracers as noninvasive imaging agents for VZV infection and VZV-tk reportergene expression in vivo.
