A novel, rapid, and automated loop method for the synthesis of [C]nicotine was developed and optimized. The method involves, a reaction of the precursor, (+) nornicotine or (-) nornicotine, with a gas-phase produced [C]CHI in an 800 µL loop at 75 °C for 5 min followed by a semi-preparatory Reversed-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) purification. The optimized synthesis and purification process was complete in < 30 min and produced [C]nicotine with > 99.9% Radiochemical Purity (RCP), no [C]CHI, no (+) nornicotine, 105 mCi/µmole specific activity, 7.0 - 7.2 pH, and 16.6% ethanol. The current method can be optimized, to reduce the ethanol content (<10%), and can be translated to a cGMP production of [C]nicotine for human clinical trials.
开发并优化了一种用于合成[C]尼古丁的新颖、快速且自动化的环法。该方法包括前体((+)去甲烟碱或(−)去甲烟碱)与气相产生的[C]CHI在800微升环中于75°C反应5分钟,随后进行半制备反相高效液相色谱(RP-HPLC)纯化。优化后的合成和纯化过程在不到30分钟内完成,产生的[C]尼古丁具有>99.9%的放射化学纯度(RCP),无[C]CHI,无(+)去甲烟碱,比活度为105毫居里/微摩尔,pH值为7.0 - 7.2,乙醇含量为16.6%。当前方法可以进行优化以降低乙醇含量(<10%),并且可以转化为用于人体临床试验的[C]尼古丁的cGMP生产。
