Preferred Label : Carbon C 13 Phytofluene;
NCIt synonyms : 13C-Phytofluene; 13C-PF;
NCIt definition : A 40-carbon hydrocarbon precursor of carotenoids radiolabeled to carbon C 13 and potentially
used for tracer purposes of phytofluene in vivo. Upon administration, phytofluene
is taken up and accumulates in various tissues. Upon imaging of the radioisotope,
the distribution patterns and metabolism of phytofluene can be further elucidated
which may aid in the understanding of the bioactivity of this agent. Phytofluene is
a colorless precursor of many carotenoids, including the antioxidant lycopene.;
