Epimerization study on [18f]FDG produced by an alkaline hydrolysis on solid support under stringent conditions.

Since 1998, routine [18F]FDG syntheses are being carried out by alkaline hydrolysis on a solid support, i.e. the labeled intermediate is trapped on a tC18 solid phase extraction cartridge, purified and finally hydrolyzed within the cartridge, at room temperature, using sodium hydroxide. The present study demonstrated that no epimerization of [18F]FDG to [18F]FDM occurs even when 12 N NaOH is used and when the hydrolysis time is extended up to 1 h. The alkaline hydrolysis on solid support appears to be a simple method leading to [18F]FDG with high purity.

In-target production of [13N]ammonia via proton irradiation of dilute aqueous ethanol and acetic acid mixtures.

A reliable, reproducible method has been developed for the in situ production of decicurie quantities of [13N]ammonia by proton irradiation of pressurized, dilute aqueous solutions of acetic acid and ethanol. Some of the parameters investigated for their effect on the 13N product distribution included dose, dose rate, solute concentration, target body material, beam strike volume and proton energy. For the conditions investigated, [13N]NH3 was produced directly in the target in yields greater than 75%.
