摘要: 用PETtrace回旋加速器通过核反应14N(p,α)11C生产11CO2,经甲烷循环碘化法和11CH3I全自动合成系统制备11CH3I,合成时间约为12min,未校正放化产率大于30%。采用(S 11C甲基) L 蛋氨酸(11C MET)半自动合成装置,使11CH3I与前体L 同型半胱氨酸硫内酯盐酸盐的碱性溶液在SepPakPlusC18小柱上发生烷基化反应,并经SepPakPlusC18小柱分离,得11C MET注射液,烷基化反应时间约6min,放化产率大于85%,放化纯度大于99%,对映纯度约为90%。采用PET CS I型全自动合成模块,使11CH3I与前体L 半胱氨酸发生在柱烷基化反应,并经柱分离后得到(S 11C甲基) L 半胱氨酸(11C CYS)注射液,烷基化反应时间约2min,未校正放化产率大于50%,放化纯度大于99%,对映纯度大于90%。制得的11C MET和11C CYS注射液可用于动物和人体研究。Abstract: After~(11)CO_2 is produced via nuclear reaction~(14)N(p,α)~(11)C at a PET trace cyclotron,~(11)CH_3I is synthesized from the hydrogenation of~(11)CO_2 by catalyst Ni and the recycle iodination of~(11)C-CH_4 at~(11)CH_3I Micro Lab Process Module, with uncorrected radiochemical yield more than 30% in the synthesis time about 12 min. (S-[~(11)C]-methyl)-L-methionine (~(11)C-MET) is synthesized from [~(11)C]methylation of~(11)CH_3I with precursor L-homocysteine thiolactone hydrochloride in NaOH solution on a commercial C18 Sep-Pak Plus cartridge as a solid-phase support material at the semi-automated system for the synthesis of~(11)C-MET. The corrected radiochemical yield of [(~(11)C)]methylation is more than 85% with the synthesis time about 6 min, the radiochemical purity of~(11)C-MET is above 99%, and the enantiomeric purity is about 90%. (S-[(~(11)C)]-methyl)-L-cysteine ((~(11)C)-CYS) is synthesized from [(~(11)C)] methylation of(~(11)CH_3I) with precursor L-cysteine on a commercial cartridge as a solid-phase support material at the PET-CS-I model fully automated system. The uncorrected radiochemical yield of~(11)C-CYS from~(11)CH_3I is more than 50% with the synthesis time about 2 min, the radiochemical purity of~(11)C-CYS is above 99%, and the enantiomeric purity is over 90%. The synthetic~(11)C-MET and~(11)C-CYS injections can be suitable for preclinical and clinical study with PET imaging.
