Overview

**4-[18F]Fluoroglutamic acid (BAY85-8050)** is a radiolabeled amino acid derivative developed as a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent. It consists of fluorine-18 conjugated to L-glutamic acid, which leverages tumor-specific uptake due to high glutaminolytic metabolism in certain tumors. Upon intravenous administration, it accumulates in tumor cells, enabling imaging and assessment using PET. The compound is intended for oncology imaging, specifically for detecting and assessing neoplasms via PET scans. The developer is Bayer.
