The Therapeutic and Diagnostic Value of Fluorine
Abstract
![](/public/site/graph.png)
Fluorine has a useful positron transmitting isotope and it enjoys broad application in the medical field. It is utilized in fluorinated agents, therapeutic sciences and steroid field. Fluorine incorporation via fluoroalkylation is a useful approach in the development of new functional materials and in drug design. Fluorine also plays its role as an anticancer agent and is a successful chemotherapeutic agent for certain sorts of malignant growth. 5-fluorouracil plays a vital role in the treatment of cancer.18Factsas a radiolabel tracer at o min PET imaging.19F has the second most sensitive and stable NMR-active nucleus.
