  • Publication number: 20160263258
    Abstract: Disclosed are an [18F]fluoromethyl group-introduced radiotracer for brain neuroinflammation-targeting positron emission tomography (PET), the synthesis thereof, and a method for evaluating biological results using the same. In the method for the synthesis of an [18F]fluoromethyl group-introduced radiotracer for brain neuroinflammation-targeting positron emission tomography, a compound obtained by introducing triazolium triflate into normethyl-PBR28 is used as a precursor and a fluoromethyl group is labeled with fluorine-18 in a single step. The [18F]fluoromethyl group-introduced radiotracer for brain neuroinflammation-targeting positron emission tomography is synthesized by using a compound, obtained by introducing triazolium triflate into normethyl-PBR28, as a precursor and performing substitution with fluorine-18 in a single step.

  • Patent number: 9439986
    Abstract: The present invention relates to tricarbonyl technetium-99m or rhenium-188 labeled cyclic RGD derivatives, a preparation method thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition containing the derivative as an active ingredient for use in the diagnosis or treatment (radiotherapy) of angiogenesis-related diseases. The tricarbonyl technetium-99m or rhenium-188 labeled cyclic RGD derivatives of the present invention has a high subnanomolar affinity to integrin ?v?3 (also called as a vitronectin receptor) that is activated in an angiogenic action induced by a tumor, and acts exclusively upon cancer cells having selectively activated integrin ?v?3 because of a substantially low intake into the liver and intestines.

  • Patent number: 8895727
    Abstract: Disclosed is the synthesis of [18F]flumazenil that is useful in imaging epileptic lesions by PET (positron emission tomography). A method for preparing [18F]flumazenil by reacting a diaryliodonium salt precursor with the positron-emitting radionuclide fluorine-18. [18F]flumazenil can be prepared from the diaryliodonium salt precursor in the presence of kryptofix2.2.2./potassium carbonate(K2.2.2./K2CO3) and TEMPO in dimethylformamide (DMF) at a high yield.

  • Patent number: 8624039
    Abstract: A method for preparing [18F]fallypride is disclosed, which comprises a first step for trapping a fluorine-18 to a polymer ion exchange cartridge; a second step for extraction of fluorine-18 by inputting low base concentrations: 5.0˜25 ?L of 40% TBAHCO3 or K2.2.2./K2CO3 (5˜25 mg/0.5˜3.0 mg) as a phase-transfer catalyst in a mixture of alcohol/water (1.0/0.2 (v/v)) or alcohol as a solvent into the polymer ion exchange cartridge trapped by the fluorine-18; a third step for preparing a [18F]fallypride product by removing the solvent from the trapped fluorine-18, by inputting tosylate precursor in CH3CN as a solvent into a reactor and by reacting the same for 5˜35 minutes at 50˜120° C.; and a fourth step for preparing a pure [18F]fallypride by purifying the prepared [18F]fallypride product.
