Abstract	D-[¹⁸F]FMAU and L-[¹⁸F]FMAU are F-18 labeled nucleoside analogue which have been efficiently synthesized in order to be a PET imaging probe. D-[¹⁸F]FMAU and L-[¹⁸F]FMAU were compared as PET imaging agents using HSV1-TK gene expressing tumor-bearing mice. Their cellular uptake profiles were also compared using MCA and MCA-TK cell lines. D-[¹⁸F]FMAU demonstrated higher cellular uptake and higher accumulation in MCA-TK tumor regions than L-[¹⁸F]FMAU. On the other hand, L-[¹⁸F]FMAU showed higher MCA-TK/MCA ratio of %ID/g than that of D-[¹⁸F]FMAU. L-[¹⁸F]FMAU can be utilized as a good candidate for HSV1-TK PET imaging. It can be used for antiviral drug evaluation.
