Here, we report a new and rapid radiosynthesis of F-18-N-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]-6-fluoro-pyridine-3-carboxamide ([F-18]ICF01006), a molecule with a high specificity for melanotic tissue, and its evaluation in a murine model for early specific detection of pigmented primary and disseminated melanoma.[F-18]ICF01006 was synthesized using a new one-step bromine-for-fluorine nucleophilic heteroaromatic substitution. Melanoma models were induced by subcutaneous (primary tumour) or intravenous (lung colonies) injection of B16BL6 melanoma cells in C57BL/6J mice. The relevance and sensitivity of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using [F-18]ICF01006 were evaluated at different stages of tumoural growth and compared to F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose ([F-18]FDG).The fully automated radiosynthesis of [F-18]ICF01006 led to a radiochemical yield of 61 % and a radiochemical purity > 99 % (specific activity 70-80 GBq/mu mol; total synthesis time 42 min). Tumours were visualized before they were palpable as early as 1 h post-injection with [F-18]ICF01006 tumoural uptake of 1.64 +/- 0.57, 3.40 +/- 1.47 and 11.44 +/- 2.67 percentage of injected dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g) at days 3, 5 and 14, respectively. [F-18]ICF01006 PET imaging also allowed detection of melanoma pulmonary colonies from day 9 after tumour cell inoculation, with a lung radiotracer accumulation correlated with melanoma invasion. At day 21, radioactivity uptake in lungs reached a value of 5.23 +/- 2.08 %ID/g (versus 0.41 +/- 0.90 %ID/g in control mice). In the two models, comparison with [F-18]FDG showed that both radiotracers were able to detect melanoma lesions, but [F-18]ICF01006 was superior in terms of contrast and specificity.Our promising results provide further preclinical data, reinforcing the excellent potential of [F-18]ICF01006 PET imaging for early specific diagnosis and follow-up of melanin-positive disseminated melanoma.
