The effects of 4-fluoroglutamate on the reaction catalyzed by partially purified rat liver folylpolyglutamate synthetase have been investigated. DL-threo-4-Fluoroglutamate was an effective, concentration-dependent inhibitor of polyglutamylation of both tetrahydrofolate and methotrexate, while the erythro isomer was weakly inhibitory. 4-Fluoroglutamate acted

Inhibition of rat brain glutamate decarboxylase (GAD, EC 4.1.1.15) by individual stereoisomers of 4-fluoroglutamate (4-F-Glu) and 2-fluoro-4-aminobutyrate (2-F-GABA) was studied. All stereoisomers of 4-F-Glu inhibited decarboxylation of L-glutamate catalysed by the enzyme preparation. At 1 x 10(-2) M concentration, the
Effects of D,L-4-fluoroglutamic acid on glutamylation of methotrexate by hepatic cells in vitro.

There is a high demand for tumor specific PET tracers in oncology imaging. Besides glucose, certain amino acids also serve as energy sources and anabolic precursors for tumors. Therefore, (18)F-labeled amino acids are interesting probes for tumor specific PET imaging.

Electrophilic fluorination of enantiomerically pure 2-pyrrolidinones (4) derived from (L)-glutamic acid has been investigated as a method for the synthesis of single stereoisomers of 4-fluorinated glutamic acids. Reaction of the lactam enolate derived from 9 with NFSi results in a
