      Abstract: This study aims to develop and validate a reliable analytical method for the precise determination of the radiochemical purity(RCP) of 18FFlorastamin, an 18F-labeled radiopharmaceutical targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen(PSMA). Accurate RCP assessment is a critical quality control requirement to ensure the safety, diagnostic efficacy, and batch-to-batch consistency of radiopharmaceuticals for clinical use. Therefore, establishing a robust and validated method is essential for supporting its pharmaceutical development and regulatory compliance. A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) method was established. Separation was achieved using a chromatographic column packed with octadecylsilyl-bonded silica gel(ϕ4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm particle size). The mobile phase consisted of trifluoroacetic acid(TFA)-water(volume ratio 0.05∶100) solution(mobile phase A) and trifluoroacetic acid-acetonitrile(volume ratio 0.05∶100) solution(mobile phase B), delivered via a gradient elution program. The analysis was performed under the following conditions: column temperature of 25 ℃, injection volume of 20 μL, flow rate of 1.00 mL/min, and a total runtime of 31 minutes. Detection was accomplished using a tandem system comprising a UV-Vis detector set at 220 nm and a radioactive flow detector. The method was rigorously validated according to standard protocols to evaluate its performance. The method provides excellent separation, effectively resolving the main radioactive peak corresponding to 18FFlorastamin from adjacent radiochemical impurities with a resolution exceeding 1.5. It demonstrates excellent linearity(correlation coefficient r=1.000) across a broad radioactivity concentration range from 0.32 to 172.36 GBq/L. The limit of detection and limit of quantification are determined to be 9.60×10−2 GBq/L and 3.20×10−1 GBq/L, respectively. All validation parameters, including precision and robustness, meet the accepted analytical requirements, and confirm the method’s reliability and reproducibility. This study successfully establishes a fully validated HPLC method for the determination of RCP of 18FFlorastamin. The method is specific, linear, precise, and robust. It provides a critical and reliable technical tool for quality control, supports the establishment of official standards and ensures the consistent production of 18FFlorastamin for clinical application. This methodological framework also offers a valuable reference for the analysis of other similar 18F-labeled PSMA-targeted radiopharmaceuticals.
