Abstract
Sensitivity and specificity of molecular probes are two important factors in determining the accuracy of cancer diagnosis or the efficacy of cancer treatment. However, the development of probes with high sensitivity and strong specificity still poses many challenges. Herein, we report an 18F-labeled smart tracer ([18F]1) targeting cancer-associated biotin receptor (BR) and self-assembling into nanoparticles in response to intracellular glutathione. The tracer [18F]1 selectively targeted BR-positive cancer cells A549 and Hela and formed nanoparticles through self-assembly with an average diameter of 138.2 ± 16.3 nm. The character of self-assembly into nanoparticles enhanced the uptake and extended the retention of probe [18F]1 in the target tissue and hence improved the quality of positron emission tomography (PET) images. Thus, [18F]1 is a promising PET tracer for accurately detecting BR-positive cancers. Moreover, the tumor microenvironment responsive "head-to-foot" self-assembly nanoplatform is particularly attractive for development of other smart molecular probes.

Abstract
The water-soluble vitamin biotin is essential for cellular growth, development, and well-being, but its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are poorly understood. This paper describes the radiolabeling of biotin with the positron emission tomography (PET) radionuclide carbon-11 ([11C]biotin) to enable the quantitative study of biotin trafficking in vivo. We show that intravenously administered [11C]biotin is quickly distributed to the liver, kidneys, retina, heart, and brain in rodents-consistent with the known expression of the biotin transporter-and there is a surprising accumulation in the brown adipose tissue (BAT). Orally administered [11C]biotin was rapidly absorbed in the small intestine and swiftly distributed to the same organs. Preadministration of nonradioactive biotin inhibited organ uptake and increased excretion. [11C]Biotin PET imaging therefore provides a dynamic in vivo map of transporter-mediated biotin trafficking in healthy rodents. This technique will enable the exploration of biotin trafficking in humans and its use as a research tool for diagnostic imaging of obesity/diabetes, bacterial infection, and cancer.

Abstract
Perfluorinated organic compounds (PFCs) are nontoxic, biocompatible, bioavailable, and bioorthogonal species which possess the unique ability to segregate away from both polar and nonpolar solvents producing a compact fluorophilic phase. Traditional techniques of fluorous chemical proteomics are generally applied to enrich biological samples in target protein(s) exploiting this property of PFCs to build fluorinated probes able to covalently bind to protein ensembles and being selectively extracted by fluorophilic solvents. Aiming at building a strategy able to avoid irreversible modification of the analyzed biosystem, a novel fully noncovalent probe is presented as an enabling tool for the recognition and isolation of biological protein(s). In our strategy, both the fluorophilic extraction and the biorecognition of a selected protein successfully occur via the establishment of reversible but selective interactions.

Abstract
The use of radiolabelled antibodies and antibody-derived recombinant constructs has shown promise for both imaging and therapeutic use. In this context, the biotin-avidin/streptavidin pairing, along with the inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) reaction, have found application in pretargeting approaches for positron emission tomography (PET). This study reports the fluorinase-mediated transhalogenation [5'-chloro-5'-deoxyadenosine (ClDA) substrates to 5'-fluoro-5'-deoxyadenosine (FDA) products] of two antibody pretargeting tools, a FDA-PEG-tetrazine and a [18 F]FDA-PEG-biotin, and each is assessed either for its compatibility towards iEDDA ligation to trans-cyclooctene or for its affinity to avidin. A protocol to avoid radiolytically promoted oxidation of biotin during the synthesis of [18 F]FDA-PEG-biotin was developed. The study adds to the repertoire of conjugates for use in fluorinase-catalysed radiosynthesis for PET and shows that the fluorinase will accept a wide range of ClDA substrates tethered at C-2 of the adenine ring with a PEGylated cargo. The method is exceptional because the nucleophilic reaction with [18 F]fluoride takes place in water at neutral pH and at ambient temperature.
