Using
in
vivo
19
F
MRI, a novel synthesized trifluorinated bile acid
CA-lys-TFA was tested for its ability to concentrate in
the gallbladders of C57BL/6 mice after oral gavage. Mice
orally gavaged with
19
F
labled CA-lys-TFA revealed robust
19
F
signals from the gallbladder
in
vivo
, and correlated with the concentrations
determined independently using LC-MS on
ex
vivo
tissue.
The results from the study suggest that CA-lys-TFA, a
fluorinated non-radioactive bile acid analogue, has
potential for use in MRI to measure
in
vivo
bile
acid transport and diagnose bile acid malabsorption and
other conditions associated with impaired bile acid
transport.
