Description

High specific [18F]-N-succinimidyl 4-(fluoromethyl)benzoate has been prepared from N-succinimidyl-4-[(4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)oxymethyl]benzoate in one chemical step. The reaction was carried out in acetone at room temperature for 5 minutes using Kryptofix 2.2.2/18F-. Overall yields for the synthesis were between 13% and 18% (EOS) in 45-50 minutes, including HPLC purification. The specific activity was about 1900 Ci/mmol (EOB). About 150 μg of proteins, such as rabbit anti HSA antibody and transferrin, have been labeled with 60-70% labeling efficiency in 10 minutes. The biodistribution (% ID/g) in rats (3/group) showed that the labeled antibody was stable in vivo (1.5 hr): blood (5.5), liver (1,4), spleen (1.9), kidney (1.0), bone (0.7) and urine (2.9, 3 hr). No significant increase of defluorination was observed 3 hours after injection. About 20 μg of erythropoietin was also successfully labeled with about 25% labeling efficiency
