Abstract:
Objective:To optimize the preparation conditions and methods of Al 18F-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 and evaluate the feasibility of clinical transformation. Methods:PSMA- N, N′-bis(2-hydroxy-5-(carboxyethy)benzyl)ethylenediamine- N, N′-diacetic acid (HBED-CC) dissolved in CH 3COONH 4 buffer (pH=4.8) was reacted with AlCl 3·3H 2O dissolved in pure water at a molar ratio of 1∶1 (60 ℃, 10 min), and then purified by tC18 column and freeze-dried to obtain [Al]-PSMA-11. [Al]-PSMA-11 was labeled by 18F - and the effects of reaction temperature and pH value on the labeling rate were investigated. The labeled products were purified by tC18 column and filtered through sterile filter to obtain Al 18F-PSMA-11. The comparison of biodistribution between Al 18F-PSMA-11 and 68Ga-PSMA-11 was analyzed on 5 healthy volunteers (age (56±8) years). The differences of SUV max between two groups were analyzed by independent-sample t test. Besides, the early and delayed imaging of Al 18F-PSMA-11 PET/CT were performed on a patient (70 years old) with recurrent prostate cancer for assessment of its potential for prostate cancer recurrence monitoring. Results:The labeling rate was (42.3±3.2)% reacting in aqueous phase (60 ℃, pH=4.8) for 15 min. After being purified with tC18 cartridge, the radiochemical purity of the product was still more than 95% after placement at room temperature for 3 h. Preliminary application demonstrated that there was no significant difference in the biodistribution of Al 18F-PSMA-11 and 68Ga-PSMA-11 among lacrimal gland, parotid gland, submandibular gland, liver, spleen, kidney, bladder and part of intestine and SUV max of targeted organs were also not different ( t values: 0.19-1.95, all P>0.05) between two groups. Multiple bone metastases were observed by Al 18F-PSMA-11 PET/CT delayed imaging (3 h) in a patient with recurrent prostate cancer. Conclusion:Al 18F-PSMA-11 produced with pre-conjugated [Al]-PSMA-11 meets the requirement of the PET imaging application, and it has good potential of localization and imaging for prostate cancer metastatic lesions.
