challenging, and historical methods lack compatibility with modern automated radiochemistry synthesis platforms and current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) requirements. To address this challenge, we report a new automated method for radiolabeling guanidines with carbon-11. The method was used to prepare a series of [11C]guanidines in good radiochemical yield (8–76% by radio-HPLC) and was found to have broad
A process for fluorination of aromatic compounds employing iodonium ylides and applicable to radiofluorination using 18F is described. Processes, intermediates, reagents and radiolabelled compounds are described.
One aspect of the present invention relates to a method of purifying radiolabelled compounds comprising a) loading onto a fluorous polymer a radiolabelled compound precursor comprising a fluoroalkyl tin moiety; b) reacting the radiolabelled compound precursor with a radiolabel delivering compound to give a radiolabelled compound, wherein the fluoroalkyl tin moiety is replaced by a radiolabel; and c) eluting the radiolabelled compound from the fluorous polymer.
The present invention relates to an improved method of imaging cardiac neurotransmission in vivo in a human subject using adrenergic imaging agents. The method comprises obtaining two separate images with the same adrenergic imaging agent. One of the images is obtained in conjunction with the administration of a compound known to interfere with the uptake of the particular imaging agent in question. Comparison of the two images enables additional information to be obtained in relation to the status of cardiac neurotransmission in said subject compared with imaging with adrenergic imaging agent alone. The invention also provides a method of imaging cardiac neurotransmission in a human subject in vivo wherein a single image is obtained using an adrenergic imaging agent in conjunction with the administration of a non-pharmaceutical dose of an agent known to interfere with the uptake of the imaging agent. The invention furthermore provides a method of operating an imaging apparatus, a second medical use of an adrenergic imaging agent as well as a kit suitable for carrying out the methods of the invention.
