An ultrafast and efficient high-performance liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed to purify positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals as well as for metabolite analysis of the plasma sample. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a short (60 mm length) semipreparative (10 mm I.D.) column packed with 2.5-mum particles using a mixture of acetonitrile and sodium phosphate buffer as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 8-10 ml/min. Under the optimum conditions, excellent separation of the target PET probe was obtained from chemical/radiochemical impurities or radioactive metabolites with a very short run time of 2 min. This characteristic enabled significant shortening of the purification and evaporation processes in the production of short-lived radiopharmaceuticals and highly sensitive radiometric analysis with good temporal resolution during the metabolism study.
建立了一种超快速、高效的液相色谱(LC)方法,用于纯化正电子发射断层扫描(PET)放射性药物,以及分析血浆样品中的代谢物。在最佳条件下,使用 2.5-μm 颗粒填充的短(60mm 长)半制备(10mm ID)柱,以乙腈和磷酸钠缓冲液的混合物作为流动相,流速为 8-10ml/min,可实现目标 PET 探针与化学/放射性化学杂质或放射性代谢物的出色分离,运行时间仅为 2 分钟。这一特点使得在生产短寿命放射性药物时,显著缩短了纯化和蒸发过程,并在代谢研究中实现了高灵敏度的放射性分析和良好的时间分辨率。
