DCFBC is a potent prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) inhibitor, primarily utilized for small animal positron emission tomography (PET) imaging applications. Labeled with fluorine-18, [18F]DCFBC demonstrates preferential uptake in PSMA-expressing tumors, particularly in PIP tumors, while showing minimal uptake in FLU tumors. Additionally, while high accumulation in the kidneys and bladder is observed, the washout of radioactivity is faster compared to PIP tumors. This specificity positions [18F]DCFBC as a valuable tool for studying prostate cancer and assessing PSMA-targeted therapies.
