Overview

Fluoroglutamine, specifically in its radiolabeled form [18F]fluoroglutamine (FG), is a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer used to image glutamine metabolism in vivo. Cancer cells often exhibit glutamine dependence, upregulating transporters and metabolic pathways to support rapid proliferation. [18F]fluoroglutamine acts as a metabolic probe that is internalized by cells primarily via the SLC1A5 (ASCT2) transporter. Its uptake reflects the activity of the serine synthesis pathway (SSP), which is frequently upregulated in TP53-mutant and HER2-positive breast cancers. The tracer is being developed to identify tumors with high SSP activity and to guide the selection of patients for SSP-targeted or glutamine-targeted therapies.
