Research Abstract

Androgen receptor(AR) expression is an important factor to predict tumor responsiveness to hormonal therapy in prostate cancer. 16β-[^<18> F] fluoro-5α-dihydrotestosterone([^<18> F] FDHT) is a candidate for AR imaging PET radiopharmaceutical, however, the reported method was difficult to adopt an automatic modules because of the complex reaction conditions. In this study, we developed an automatic synthesis method for[^<18> F] FDHT using a plastic cassette-type automatic PET radiopharmaceutical synthesizer. We chose a TRACERlab MXFDG(GE) as the module for[^<18> F] FDHT synthesis because it has the flexibility programming and accepts modification to the cassette layout in aseptic condition. Optimum labeling condition was investigated by changing several factors(amount of precursor and NaBH_4, temperature and time of labeling, reduction and hydrolysis etc.) and the optimized condition is as follows : 1, 2 or 4 mg of 16τ-[[(trifluoromethyl) sulfonyl] oxy]-3, 3-(ethylenedioxy) and rostan-1 … More 7-one in abs. acetonitrile was heated at 125℃for 10 min with dried[^<18> F] fluoride. The resultant solution was evaporated, and then reduced with NaBH_4 in ethanol at room temperature. The hydrolysis with 0. 1N HCl was carried out for 15 min. Then the preparative HPLC was performed using a Cosmosil 5C_<18>-AR-2, 20 mmI. D. x 250 mm, Nacalai Tesque, 50% acetonitrile/water, 8. 0 ml/min, 210 nm) was performed. The desired radioactive fraction was collected to a round-bottom flask containing sodium ascorbate as a radical scavenger. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in 10 ml of saline, and then passed through a sterile 0. 22μm filter to a pyrogen-free vial. The reduction using NaBH_4 was completed in 5 min. The hydrolysis was inadequacy at RT in 15 min but it was accomplished at 85℃. The radiochemical yield in the final product was 13. 4±4. 4%(n 7). The total synthesis time including the preparative HPLC and the preparation process for an injection was less than 100 min. The quality control including acute toxicity test using mouse was confirmed that the final product was high quality and adapted for clinical research. Less
