Abstract: | The synthesis of the Re (V) complex and preparation of 188Re-AEDP are described using 188Re which was obtained from the alumina-based 188W/188Re generator. Dependence of the radiolabeling yields of 188Re-AEDP on reducing agent concentration, AEDP concentration, pH and addition of carrier was examined. In the case of optimum conditions, the radiolabeling yields of 188Re-AEDP were 92-93% for carrier-free 188Re and 95-98% for carrier-added 188Re. The stability of 188Re-AEDP at pH approximately 6 was studied and it is found that the carrier has a significant effect on the stability of 188Re-AEDP. The biodistribution of carrier-free and carrier-added 188Re-labelled compounds in rats was also measured. The results show that 188Re (carrier-added)-AEDP is a potential bone palliation radiopharmaceutical due to its high skeletal uptake, rapid blood clearance and relatively low soft tissue absorption. |
