2-FLUORO-2-DEOXY-GLUCOSE TETRAACETATE - Introduction
ACY-FDG is a compound whose chemical name is 2-(N-acetylamino)-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-(N-Acetamido)-2-deoxy-D-glucose). It is a fluorescent dye that is commonly used in bioimaging techniques.
ACY-FDG is widely used in the study of intracellular metabolism and glucose transport. It can be used to study glucose metabolism of tumor cells, cell transport mechanism and tumor tissue imaging. In nuclear medicine, ACY-FDG are also used as imaging agents for positron emission tomography (PET) scans to assess the metabolic activity of tissues such as the heart muscle, brain, and cancer.
In the production method, the ACY-FDG can be obtained by reacting fluorinated glucose with acetyl chloride. This process is usually carried out in a chemical laboratory and requires the use of some chemical reagents and manipulation techniques.
Regarding safety information, ACY-FDG are considered to be relatively safe under general conditions of use. However, chemical safety data sheets should be reviewed before use and laboratory practices should be strictly followed. Also, if required, wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles. In addition, inhalation and contact with skin and eyes should be avoided during use. In case of any discomfort or accident, seek medical help immediately.
