| DrugBank Description: | Sodium Fluoride F 18 Injection is a positron emitting radiopharmaceutical, no-carrier added. It contains radioactive fluoride F 18 that is used for diagnostic purposes in conjunction with positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and is administered by intravenous injection. Its primary indication is for bone imaging. Increased deposition around joints can occur in arthritis and following trauma and increased deposition in bone has been noted around fracture sites, in osteomyelitis, fibrous dysplasia, spondylitis tuberculosa, and Paget's disease. No adverse reactions have been reported. |
| CAS Number: | 67862-54-8 |
| Molecular Weight: | 18.0015 |
| DrugBank Indication: | 18F is used as a bone imaging agent to define areas of altered osteogenic activity. It has been indicated for back pain and otherwise unexplained bone pain, child abuse, abnormal radiographic or laboratory findings, osteomyelitis, trauma, inflammatory and degenerative arthritis, avascular necrosis. Osteonecrosis of the mandible, condylar hyperplasia, and metabolic bone disease are also among the indications for fluoride imaging. |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | Deposition of 18F fluoride in bone appears to be primarily a function of blood flow to the bone and the efficiency of the bone in extracting the 18F from the blood perfusing the bone. Increased fluorine F 18 ion deposition around joints can occur in arthritis or following trauma; increased deposition has also been documented in bone around fracture sites, in osteomyelities, fibrous dysplasia, spondylitis tuberculosa, Paget's disease, hyperstosis frontalis interna, myositis, ossificans, and in rapidly growing epiphyses. The tendency for fluorine F 18 ions to accumulate in the vicinity of primary and metastatic malignancy in bone has proven clinically useful in detection of such lesions |
| DrugBank MoA: | 18F-fluoride is a highly sensitive bone-seeking PET tracer used for detection of skeletal abnormalities. The uptake mechanism of 18F-fluoride has better pharmacokinetic characteristics (compared to other elements) including faster blood clearance and 2-fold higher uptake in bone. Uptake of 18F-fluoride reflects blood flow and bone remodeling. |
