Background
The GMP-compliant production of radiopharmaceuticals has been performed using disposable units (cassettes) with a dedicated synthesis module. To expand this “plug ‘n’ synthesize” principle to a broader scope of modules we developed a pressure controlled setup that offers an alternative to the usual stepper motor controlled rotary valves. The new concept was successfully applied to the synthesis of N-methyl-[\(^{11}\)C]choline, L-S-methyl-[\(^{11}\)C]methionine and [11C]acetate.
Results
The target gas purification of cyclotron produced [\(^{11}\)C]CO\(_2\) and subsequent conversion to [\(^{11}\)C]MeI was carried out on a TRACERlab Fx C Pro module. The labelling reactions were controlled with a TRACERlab Fx FE module. With the presented modular principle we were able to produce N-methyl-[\(^{11}\)C]choline and L-S-methyl-[\(^{11}\)C]methionine by loading a reaction loop with neat N,N'-dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) or an ethanol/water mixture of NaOH and L-homocysteine (L-HC), respectively and a subsequent reaction with [\(^{11}\)C]MeI. After 18 min N-methyl-[\(^{11}\)C]choline was isolated with 52% decay corrected yield and a radiochemical purity of > 99%. For L-S-methyl-[\(^{11}\)C]methionine the total reaction time was 19 min reaction, yielding 25% of pure product (> 97%). The reactor design was used as an exemplary model for the technically challenging [\(^{11}\)C]acetate synthesis. The disposable unit was filled with 1 mL MeMgCl (0.75 M) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) bevore [\(^{11}\)C]CO\(_2\) was passed through. After complete release of [\(^{11}\)C]CO\(_2\) the reaction mixture was quenched with water and guided through a series of ion exchangers (H\(^+\), Ag\(^+\) and OH\(^−\)). The product was retained on a strong anion exchanger, washed with water and finally extracted with saline. The product mixture was acidified and degassed to separate excess [\(^{11}\)C]CO\(_2\) before dispensing. Under these conditions the total reaction time was 18 ± 2 min and pure [\(^{11}\)C]acetate (n = 10) was isolated with a decay corrected yield of 51 ± 5%.
Conclusion
Herein, we described a novel single use unit for the synthesis of carbon-11 labelled tracers for preclinical and clinical applications of N-methyl-[\(^{11}\)C]choline, L-S-methyl-[\(^{11}\)C]methionine and [11C]acetate.
