68Ga-Based Radiopharmaceuticals: Production and Application Relationship

Abstract: Abstract:The contribution of 68 Ga to the promotion and expansion of clinical research and routine positron emission tomography (PET) for earlier better diagnostics and individualized medicine is considerable. The potential applications of 68 Ga-comprising imaging agents include targeted, pre-targeted and non-targeted imaging. This review discusses the key aspects of the production of 68 Ga and 68 Ga-based radiopharmaceuticals in the light of the impact of regulatory requirements and endpoint pre-clini… Show more

“…The results showed that the radiochemical purity of 68 Ga‐NOTA‐HL was not affected by addition of ascorbic acid. This may be due to the lack of radiolysis‐sensitive component (such as cysteine, methionine, and tryptophan amino acid residues) of NOTA‐HL . So stabilizer was not included in the kit formulation of NOTA‐HL.…”

“…However, over time a small peak in the HPLC, corresponding to the retention time of the oxidized fluorophore, was evident. As this is likely due to the presence of radicals generated as a result of radioactive decay, the use of a radical scavenger was explored. Ascorbic acid, at concentrations suitable for preclinical and clinical studies (0.5 mg mL −1 ), was used as an antioxidant and proved to be highly effective as the probe showed no evidence of oxidation out to 150 min (Supporting Information, Figures S17 and S18).…”

“…The resulting specific activity, however, is often low. One such case is 153 Sm. It is extensively used in radiotherapy [218] but no suitable alternative to (n, ) reaction has been found (cf.…”

“…[219]). In our laboratory the excitation function of the 140 Nd( ,n) 153 Sm reaction was investigated [220] and the result is promising. It could be used for production of no-carrier added ( ,p) 177m,g Lu, could also prove to be an interesting alternative production route, but so far it has not been investigated.…”
