A commercial coiled-tube micro-reactor (NanoTek; Advion) was used as a convenient platform for the synthesis of [(18)F]fallypride in small doses (0.5-1.5 mCi) for micro-PET studies of brain dopamine subtype-2 receptors in rodents. Each radiosynthesis used low amounts (20-40 mug; 39-77 nmol) of tosylate precursor and [(18)F]fluoride ion (0.5-2.5 mCi). Optimization of the labeling reaction in the apparatus, with respect to the effects of precursor amount, reaction temperature, flow rate and [(18)F]fluoride ion to precursor ratio, was achieved rapidly and the decay-corrected radiochemical yield of [(18)F]fallypride (up to 88%) was reproducible. The low amounts of material used in each radiosynthesis allowed crude [(18)F]fallypride to be purified rapidly on an analytical-size reverse phase HPLC column, preceding formulation for intravenous injection. Scale-up of the reaction was easily achieved by continuously infusing reagent precursor solutions to obtain [(18)F]fallypride in much greater quantity.
一种商用盘管式微反应器(NanoTek;Advion)被用作一个便捷平台,用于小剂量(0.5 - 1.5毫居里)合成[(18)F]法利帕德,以用于对啮齿动物脑多巴胺2型受体进行微型正电子发射断层扫描(micro - PET)研究。每次放射性合成使用少量(20 - 40微克;39 - 77纳摩尔)的甲苯磺酸盐前体和[(18)F]氟离子(0.5 - 2.5毫居里)。关于前体用量、反应温度、流速以及[(18)F]氟离子与前体比例的影响,在该装置中对标记反应的优化迅速完成,并且[(18)F]法利帕德的衰变校正放射化学产率(高达88%)具有可重复性。每次放射性合成中使用的少量材料使得粗制的[(18)F]法利帕德在用于静脉注射的制剂制备之前,能够在分析尺寸的反相高效液相色谱柱上快速纯化。通过连续注入试剂前体溶液以获得数量更多的[(18)F]法利帕德,很容易实现反应的放大。
