Abstract

[67Ga]labeled 2-acetylpyridine 4,4-dimethylthiosemicarbazone ([67Ga]- [APTSM2]2+) was prepared using freshly prepared [67Ga]GaCl3 and 2-acetylpyridine 4,4-dimethylthiosemicarbazone (APTSM2) for 30 min at 90°C (radiochemical purity: >97% ITLC, >98% HPLC, specific activity: 15–20 Ci/mmol). Stability of the complex was checked in human serum for 37°C. The biodistribution of the labeled compound in vital organs of normal and fibrosarcoma bearing mice were compared with that of free Ga3+ cation up to 24h. Initial SPECT images and biodistribution results showed significant tumor uptake in fibrosarcoma-bearing mice after 2 hour post injection.
