[ F]DCFPyL is a clinical-stage PET radiotracer used to image prostate cancer. This report details the efficient production of [ F]DCFPyL using single-step direct radiofluorination, without the use of carboxylic acid-protecting groups. Radiolabeling reaction optimization studies revealed an inverse correlation between the amount of precursor used and the radiochemical yield. This simplified approach enabled automated preparation of [ F]DCFPyL within 28 minutes using HPLC purification (26% ± 6%, at EOS, n = 4), which was then scaled up for large-batch production to generate 1.46 ± 0.23 Ci of [ F]DCFPyL at EOS (n = 7) in high molar activity (37 933 ± 4158 mCi/μmol, 1403 ± 153 GBq/μmol, at EOS, n = 7). Further, this work enabled the development of [ F]DCFPyL production in 21 minutes using an easy cartridge-based purification (25% ± 9% radiochemical yield, at EOS, n = 3).
[F]DCFPyL是一种用于前列腺癌成像的临床阶段正电子发射断层显像(PET)放射性示踪剂。本报告详细介绍了使用单步直接放射性氟化法高效生产[F]DCFPyL的过程,该方法无需使用羧酸保护基团。放射性标记反应优化研究表明,所用前体的量与放射化学产率呈负相关。这种简化方法能够在28分钟内通过高效液相色谱(HPLC)纯化自动制备[F]DCFPyL(在合成结束时,放射化学产率为26%±6%,n = 4),随后扩大规模进行大批量生产,在合成结束时(n = 7)以高摩尔活度(37 933±4158 mCi/μmol,1403±153 GBq/μmol,n = 7)生成1.46±0.23 Ci的[F]DCFPyL。此外,这项工作还实现了使用基于简易柱盒的纯化方法在21分钟内生产[F]DCFPyL(在合成结束时,放射化学产率为25%±9%,n = 3)。
