The radiochemical yields for [<sup>18</sup>F]<strong>LGT-1</strong> and [<sup>18</sup>F]<strong>LGT-2</strong> were 12.54±2.73% and 10.54±2.21%, respectively, with both tracers exhibiting approximately 98% radiochemical purity and molar activities of 12.23±2.84 GBq/μmol and 11.41±1.47 GBq/μmol. Both tracers demonstrated good stability in PBS (pH 7.4) and mouse serum after 2 hours of incubation. In cellular uptake assays, [<sup>18</sup>F]<strong>LGT-1</strong> achieved a maximum uptake of 5.47±0.03 %AD at 4 hours, which could be significantly inhibited by the non-radioactive compound <strong>LGT-1</strong>.
