Synthesis of fluorine-18-labeled losartan analogs as novel positron emission tomography tracers for cancer imaging

Losartan is a selective antagonist of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R). Several reports have highlighted the AT1R expression in several cancers enhancing tumor development and cancer progression. The aim of this thesis is the synthesis and evaluation of [18F]fluoroethyl-losartan ([18F]FEtLo...
