چکیده
Radioarsenic labeled radiopharmaceuticals cou ld add sp ecial features to molecular im agingwith positron emission tomography (PET). For example the long phy sical half-lives ofAs(T1/2 = 26 h) and As (T1/2 = 17.8 d) in conjunction with their high positron branching rates of88 % a nd 29 % respecti vely, all ow the investigation of slow p hysiological or metabolicalprocesses, l ike the enr ichment and biodistribution of monoclonal an tibodies (mab) in tumortissue or the characterization of stem cell trafficking. A method for separation and purificationof no carrier add ed (nca) arsenic from irradiated metallic ge rmanium ta rgets based ondistillation and anion exchange is developed. It finally converts th e arsenic into an *As(III)synthon in PBS buffer and pH 7 suitable for labeling of proteins via A s-S bond formations.The method deliv ers radioarsenic in high purity w ith separ ation factors of 1 0 fr omgermanium and an ov erall y ield fro m target to la beling sy nthon of > 4 0%. In a pro of-of-principle experiment, th e monoclonal antibody Be vacizumab, d irected against th e hu manVEGF recep tor w as l abeled wi th a rad iochemical pur ity > 90% within 1 h at roo mtemperature with ncaAs.
