Abstract: | Synthesis of 2-18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F]FDG) involving base hydrolysis was optimized. Fluorine-18 was isolated from irradiated water to more than 90% by sorption of 1
8F]fluoride on QMA anion-exchange resin, which was followed by elution with a 96 : 4 (by volume) acetonitrile-water mixture containing Kryptofix 2.2.2 and potassium carbonate (molar ratio 2 : 1). This composition is the best for preparing the complex K/K2.2.2]+
18F- used in nucleophilic fluorinations. No additional azeotropic drying is required. Base hydrolysis under optimized conditions (40-45°C), followed by neutralization with HCl, removal of traces of the solvent, and purification of the final product on a combined SCX/Alumina N column, yielded 1
8F]FDG of high radiochemical (>99%) and chemical purity with minimal product loss. With an RB-86 robotic system (Anatech, Sweden), the synthesis time was 38 min. The procedure is used in the Institute of Human Brain, Russian Academy of Sciences for routine synthesis of FDG; the radiochemical yield of the product by the end of synthesis (EOS) is reproducibly high: 63±3% (n = 40). |
