2'-Deoxy-2'-[F-18]fluoro-5-ethyl-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyluracil ([F-18]FEAU) is a promising radiolabeled nucleoside designed to monitor Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV1-tk) reporter gene expression with positron emission tomography (PET). However, the challenging radiosynthesis creates problems for being able to provide [F-18]FEAU routinely. We have developed a routine method using a commercial GE TRACERlab FX-FN radiosynthesis module with customized equipment to provide [F-18]FEAU. All radiochemical yields are decay corrected to end-of-bombardment and reported as means s +/- SD. Radiofluorination (33 +/- 8%; n=4), bromination (85 +/- 8%; n=4), coupling reaction (83 +/- 6%; n=4), base hydrolysis steps, and subsequent high-performance liquid chromatography purification afforded purified [F-18]FEAU beta-anomer in 5 +/- 1% overall yield (n=3 runs) after similar to 5.5 h and a beta/alpha-anomer ratio of 7.4. Radiochemical/chemical purities and specific activity exceeded 99% and 1.3 Ci/mu mol (48 GBq/mu mol), respectively. In cell culture, [F-18]FEAU showed significantly (P
