As a continuation of our research efforts toward the development of tryptophan-based radiotracers for tumor imaging with positron emission tomography (PET), three new fluoroethoxy tryptophan analogues were synthesized and evaluated in vivo. These new tracers (namely, 4-(2-[(18)F]fluoroethoxy)-dl-tryptophan ([(18)F]4-FEHTP), 6-(2-[(18)F]fluoroethoxy)-dl-tryptophan ([(18)F]6-FEHTP)
