Abstract:
The ligand of N (3 fluoropropyl) 2β carbomethoxy 3β (4' iodophenyl)nortropane (FP β CIT) and mesylate precursor are synthesized by hydrolysis of cocaine, followed by dehydration, esterification, Grignard reaction, N demethylation,iodination,N alkylation with 3 bromopropanol and methylsulfonylation. Finally, 18 F FP β CIT is prepared by nucleophilic fluorination of the mesylate with K 18 F/K 222 (Kryptofix). The labeling yield is 25%~30%, and the total radiochemical yield is 10%~12%. After purifying the radiochemical purity of 18 F FP β CIT is greater than 95%, and stable for more than 4 hours at room temperature. The whole process (including synthesis and analysis) takes only 100~110 minutes.
