摘要
A fast, clean and reproducible method for the manufacture of the radiotracer L-[methyl-(11)C]methionine is reported. The reaction at room temperature of the non-radioactive precursor L-homocysteine (1 mg solution in ethanol/water 50/50) with [(11)C]CH(3)I in an HPLC loop led to the formation of the desired radiotracer with a high radiochemical yield (38.4 +/- 4.1% end of synthesis) in a short production time (12 min). Radiochemical purity of the final radiotracer was 99.9 +/- 0.05%. Specific activities in the range 11-45 GBq/mu mol were obtained. The presence of the undesired enantiomer (D-[methyl-(11)C)methionine) was not detected in any of the cases.
