N2 - Organic nanoparticles made out of biodegradable and biocompatible materials have attracted increased attention in the therapeutic and diagnostic fields. In this study, we attempted to explore a new radiolabelling chelating free strategy for biodegradable sphingomyelin nanometric emulsions with fluorine-18 (
18F), a radioisotope regularly used in clinic. [
18F]fluoride was produced by the cyclotron and was incorporated into 4-[
18F]fluorobenzamido-N-ethylmaleimide ([
18F]FBEM), which was coupled next to the emulsions previously functionalized with a thiol group, via inclusion of either a thiol-PEG-lipid (SH-PEG
12-C
18), or a peptide-PEG-lipid (Cys-Pro-Ile-Glu-Asp-Arg-Pro-Met-Cys-PEG
8-C
18) derivative. Radiolabelled emulsions were obtained in a rapid and efficient fashion through facile-conjugated chemistry without the use of organic solvents, and characterized in terms of size, polydispersity, surface charge, pH, and osmolarity. PET imaging and biodistribution studies in BALB/c mice allowed obtaining the pharmacokinetics of the radiolabelled emulsions and determining the clearance pathways. Altogether, we confirmed the potential of this new technique for the radiolabelling of lipid-based drug nanosystems for application in PET imaging diagnosis.
