12/01/2015 - "In PET studies, C6 and HeLa tumors in mice were clearly visualized using [(11)C]AZT. "
12/01/2015 - "Tumors can be detected by PET using [(11)C]AZT; therefore, [(11)C]AZT could be useful as a novel PET tracer for tumor imaging in vivo."
12/01/2015 - "Time-activity curves using [(11)C]AZT showed that the accumulation of radioactivity in tumors plateaued at 10 min after injection and persisted for 60 min, while most of the radioactivity in other tissues was rapidly excreted into the urine. "
12/01/2015 - "In this study, to examine whether [(11)C]AZT and [(11)C]d4T might be useful for visualization of tumors in vivo, we performed PET imaging, tissue distribution studies, and metabolite analysis in tumor-bearing mice. "
12/01/2015 - "A novel (11)C-labeled thymidine analog, [(11)C]AZT, for tumor imaging by positron emission tomography."

12/01/2015 - "Mice bearing tumors (rat glioma C6 and human cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells) were injected with 50 MBq of [(11)C]AZT or [(11)C]d4T, and PET was performed immediately thereafter. "

07/01/1990 - "1-Methyl-5-(3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)uracil (C-AZT), a C-nucleoside isostere of the potent anti-AIDS nucleoside 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT), was synthesized. "
