Preferred Label : Uniformly-labeled [13C]fructose;
NCIt synonyms : [U-13C]fructose; U-13C-Fructose;
NCIt definition : A uniformly-labeled radioconjugate composed of the monosaccharide fructose in which
all six carbons are labeled with the isotope carbon C 13 (13C), with potential imaging
application. Upon administration of uniformly-labeled [13C]fructose, fructose is taken
up and metabolized by tumors and the 13C-containing metabolites can be imaged by 13C
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. As certain tumor cells preferentially
take up and metabolize fructose for fuel, this agent may help assess the extent of
fructose metabolism in tumor cells.;
