A 212Pb generator based on a 228Th source.

A two-compartment 212Pb generator has been constructed and characterized physically and chemically. It is based on transport by airflow of gaseous 220Rn emanating from thin layers of [228Th]barium stearate. 220Rn is collected in a glass bubbler by extraction into an organic solvent and solidified at temperatures below -72 degrees C. Tracer studies show that the decay product 212Pb can be recovered with approximately 70% yield. It is suggested that this generator design could accommodate therapeutic levels of 212Pb/228Th.

Synthesis, purification and biodistribution of (205)Bi-DOTMP, visualizing bone deposition patterns with autoradiography.

A HPLC system has been developed for carrier free and rapid delivery in a physiological buffer of the alpha-particle emitting bone-seeking radiopharmaceutical (212)Bi-DOTMP. (205)Bi-DOTMP was synthesized and HPLC purified to mimic and visualize the deposition pattern in bony tissues of (212)Bi-DOTMP by autoradiography. Inhomogeneous bone deposits were found with the highest concentration in the bone matrix, the endosteum and in the growth zones of young mice. Analysis of urine samples showed that (205)Bi-DOTMP was cleared as an intact complex.
