Me-QNB (N-methyl-quinuclidin-3-yl benzilate or N-methyl-quinuclidin-3-yl diphenylhydroxy acetate) is a hydrophilic, non-metabolized and highly specific muscarinic acetylcholinergic antagonist. Using this quaternary ammonium derivative of QNB, labelled with carbon-11, a positron-emitting isotope (half-life : 20.4 minutes), the potential for quantification of myocardial muscarinic receptors in vivo using the high-resolution, sensitive and quantitative imaging technique PET (positron emission tomography) was previously demonstrated in dogs and validated in humans. In this paper, the radiosynthesis of carbon-11-labelled Me-QNB is investigated and oriented towards the preparation of multi milliCuries of radiotracer. Typically, using no-carrier-added [11C]methyl triflate as the alkylating agent and 0.64 mg (1.89 µmol) of QNB as precursor for labelling at 100°C for 1 minute lead to a 48.5% +/−10% (15 runs) decay-corrected radiochemical yield (based on [11C]methyl triflate). 183 mCi (+/−39) of [11C]Me-QNB ([11C]-1) could be synthesized in only 27 to 28 minutes after EOB and occasionally, up to 340 mCi of [11C]Me-QNB ([11C]-1) were obtained, corresponding to a 85% decay-corrected yield. The associated decay-corrected specific radioactivities obtained were 2658 mCi/µmol (+/−971) at EOB. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Me-QNB (N-甲基-喹宁环-3-基苄酯或N-甲基-喹宁环-3-基二苯羟乙酸酯)是一种亲水性、非代谢性和高度特异性的毒蕈碱型乙酰胆碱拮抗剂。使用这种标记有碳-11(一种正电子发射同位素,半衰期为20.4分钟)的QNB四级铵衍生物,先前已在狗中证明了利用高分辨率、灵敏和定量的成像技术(正电子发射断层扫描,PET)对心肌毒蕈碱受体进行定量测量的潜力,并在人类中得到了验证。本文研究了碳-11标记的Me-QNB的放射合成,旨在制备多毫居里的放射性示踪剂。通常,使用无载体添加的[11C]甲基三氟甲磺酸酯作为烷基化剂,并以0.64 mg (1.89 µmol)的QNB作为标记前体,在100°C下标记1分钟,得到48.5% ±10%(15次运行)的衰变校正放射化学产率(基于[11C]甲基三氟甲磺酸酯)。在EOB后仅27到28分钟内可以合成183 mCi (±39)的[11C]Me-QNB ([11C]-1),偶尔可获得高达340 mCi的[11C]Me-QNB ([11C]-1),对应于85%的衰变校正产率。在EOB时获得的关联衰变校正比活度为2658 mCi/µmol (±971)。版权所有 © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
