Title:
STABILIZATION OF RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL LABELED WITH 18F
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010106041
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide an 18F isotope-labeled FDG ([18F]2-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-glucose (hereinafter FDG)), radiopharmaceutical which is stable and safety to human body.

The 18F isotope-labeled FDG radiopharmaceutical is stabilized against degradation in radiochemical purity due to radiolysis using selected amounts of ethyl alcohol that depend on the activity concentration of the 18F, considering the limits set by various pharmacopoeia standards. Any of the well-known production methods for the FDG may be used and ethyl alcohol maybe added at several stages, preferably as part of the standard hydrolysis step. The particular radiopharmaceutical is used extensively in diagnostic imaging by the Positron Emission Tomography technique.
