Abstract

Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) single photon emission CT(SPECT) imaging was performed in four patients with malignant neoplasms. Acquisition of SPECT was started 40 minutes after intravenous administration of 370MBq of 18F-FDG using dual-headed gamma camera equipped with 511keV collimators. Whole body planar scintigraphy was also obtained after the SPECT study. Tumor uptake of 18F-FDG was detected in three of four patients on both SPECT and planar images, and a 2.5 x 1.5 cm lung tumor was clearly visualized on SPECT image. Excellent SPECT image of 18F-FDG using a conventional gamma camera system is promising for the wide use of this system in cancer diagnosis.

Direct epoxidation of D-glucal and D-galactal derivatives with in situ generated DMDO.

A multi-gram epoxidation of 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-D-glucal and D-galactal with dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) generated in situ from Oxone/acetone in a biphasic system (CH(2)Cl(2)-aqueous NaHCO(3)) resulted in the formation of the corresponding 1,2-anhydrosugars in a 99% yield and 100% selectivity. In a similar way, 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal afforded a 7:1 mixture of the corresponding gluco and manno derivatives in an 87% overall yield.

Induction and characterization of an unusual alpha-D-galactosidase from Talaromyces flavus.

An extracellular alpha-d-galactosidase from Talaromyces flavus CCF 2686 with extremely broad and unusual acceptor specificity is produced exclusively in the presence of the specific inducer--6-deoxy-D-glucose (quinovose). The procedure for the preparation of this very expensive substance has been modified and optimized. Surprisingly, any of other common alpha-D-galactosidase inducers or substrates, e.g., D-galactose, melibiose and raffinose, did not stimulate its production. The crude alpha-D-galactosidase preparation was purified by anion-exchange chromatography and three isoenzymes with different substrate specificities were identified. The main isoenzyme (alphaGal1) was further purified by cation-exchange chromatography and fully characterized. When compared with other alpha-galactosidases and also with other isoenzymes produced by T. flavus, it showed a markedly different regioselectivity and also negligible hydrolytic activity towards melibiose. Moreover, it was active on polymeric substrates (locust bean gum, guar gum) and significantly inhibited by alpha-D-galactopyranosyl azide, D-galactose, D-xylose, melibiose, methyl alpha- and beta-D-galactopyranoside and lactose.
