文摘

⁵²Mn (t_1/2 = 5.59 d, 尾⁺ = 29.6%, E_尾ave = 0.24 MeV) shows promise in positron emission tomography (PET) and in dual-modality manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) applications including neural tractography, stem cell tracking, and biological toxicity studies. The extension to bioconjugate application requires high-specific-activity ⁵²Mn in a state suitable for macromolecule labeling. To that end a ⁵²Mn production, purification, and labeling system is presented, and its applicability in preclinical, macromolecule PET is shown using the conjugate ⁵²Mn-DOTA-TRC105. ⁵²Mn is produced by 60 渭A, 16 MeV proton irradiation of natural chromium metal pressed into a silver disc support. Radiochemical separation proceeds by strong anion exchange chromatography of the dissolved Cr target, employing a semiorganic mobile phase, 97:3 (v:v) ethanol:HCl (11 M, aqueous). The method is 62 卤 14% efficient (n = 7) in ⁵²Mn recovery, leading to a separation factor from Cr of (1.6 卤 1.0) 脳 10⁶ (n = 4), and an average effective specific activity of 0.8 GBq/渭mol (n = 4) in titration against DOTA. ⁵²Mn-DOTA-TRC105 conjugation and labeling demonstrate the potential for chelation applications. In vivo images acquired using PET/CT in mice bearing 4T1 xenograft tumors are presented. Peak tumor uptake is 18.7 卤 2.7%ID/g at 24 h post injection and ex vivo ⁵²Mn biodistribution validates the in vivo PET data. Free ⁵²Mn²⁺ (as chloride or acetate) is used as a control in additional mice to evaluate the nontargeted biodistribution in the tumor model.
