  • Patent number: 11247947
    Abstract: A method is provided to purify [F-18]FEONM under a high pressure. The synthesis processes of [F-18]FEONM are integrated. An isolation process of non-toxic radio-high performance liquid chromatography (radio-HPLC) is used to purify the crude product. The method integrates a convention [F-18]FDG synthesizer and a novel radio-HPLC system together in a heat chamber. After radiofluorinating the precursor, the reaction product is purified with an alumina solid-phase column in advance to obtain the crude product while fluorine-18 is removed. Then, diphenyl semipreparative HPLC column is used for a final purification. A non-toxic solvent is used for mobile-phase eluting to remove the unreacted precursor and the phase-transfer solvent. The radiofluorination has a reaction yield about 50 percent (%). The method has an uncorrected radiochemical yield of 10˜20%. Both of the radio-HPLC and the radio-thin layer chromatography (radio-TLC) have radiochemical purity higher than 95%.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a hexa-lactoside-triazanonane triacetic acid (NOTA) derivative, a method for radiolabeling a hexa-lactoside positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent for a liver receptor with Ga-68, and a hexa-lactoside PET imaging agent for a liver receptor. The hexa-lactoside-NOTA derivative is a conjugate of six chains of lactose with NOTA obtained by conjugating hexa-lactoside to a chelating agent p-thiocyanate-benzyl-triazanonane diacetic acid-glutamic acid in the presence of triethyl amine/dimethyl formamide as a solvent. The radiolabeling method comprises labeling with Ga-68 at room temperature. According to the present invention, the labeling effect is stable, the labeling efficiency of the labeled product is greater than 95%, the labeled product is highly stable and the radiochemical purity is still greater than 90% after 4 hours.

  • Patent number: 10081653
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing a 6-aminohexyl lactoside-NOTA conjugate. The preparation method comprises brominating perbenzoylated lactose with hydrobromic acid; glycosylating 6-azidohexanol to obtain 6-azidohexyl perbenzoyl lactoside; and deprotecting this precursor in two steps to obtain 6-aminohexyl lactoside and conjugating 6-aminohexyl lactoside to NCS-benzyl-NODA GA (i.e. 2,2?-(7-(1-carboxy-4-((4-isothiocyanate benzyl) amino)-4-oxobutyl)-1,4,7-triazonane-1,4-diyl) diacetic acid) in triethyl amine as an alkaline solvent, to obtain a 6-aminohexyl lactoside-NCS-benzyl-NODA GA conjugate. In this novel preparation method, no deglycosylated side product is produced, such that the yield is considerably increased to 46%. Therefore, the method is suitable for future massive production since the requirement for repeated preparations for massive production is reduced, and the impurities produced in the previously scaled-up preparation process are not present.

  • Patent number: 9468608
    Abstract: The preparation method of radiation-sensitive copolymer carrier for coating radiated nanoparticles and/or chemotherapy drugs includes forming a nanosphere by diselenide block copolymers and DSPE-PEG-biomarkers to coat chemotherapy drugs and/or radiated nanoparticles that can be released from the opened nanosphere by protons penetrating tissue during proton therapy. The treatment effect of proton therapy is enhanced by two ways of using the radiated nanoparticles released from an opened nanosphere to produce nuclear fission with the protons for releasing electrons to destroy cancer cells of tumor and the chemotherapy drugs released from the opened nanosphere for distributing among tissue to kill the cancer cells of the tumor.
