20110178302 | NUCLEOPHILIC FLUORINATION OF AROMATIC COMPOUNDS - Iodylbenzene derivatives substituted with electron donating as well as electron withdrawing groups on the aromatic ring are used as precursors in aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions. The iodyl group (IO | 07-21-2011 |
20120107175 | MODULAR RADIOCHEMISTRY SYNTHESIS SYSTEM - A modular chemical production system includes multiple modules for performing a chemical reaction, particularly of radiochemical compounds, from a remote location. One embodiment comprises a reaction vessel including a moveable heat source with the position thereof relative to the reaction vessel being controllable from a remote position. Alternatively the heat source may be fixed in location and the reaction vial is moveable into and out of the heat source. The reaction vessel has one or more sealing plugs, the positioning of which in relationship to the reaction vessel is controllable from a remote position. Also the one or more reaction vessel sealing plugs can include one or more conduits there through for delivery of reactants, gases at atmospheric or an elevated pressure, inert gases, drawing a vacuum and removal of reaction end products to and from the reaction vial, the reaction vial with sealing plug in position being operable at elevated pressures. The modular chemical production system is assembled from modules which can each include operating condition sensors and controllers configured for monitoring and controlling the individual modules and the assembled system from a remote position. Other modules include, but are not limited to a Reagent Storage and Delivery Module, a Cartridge Purification Module, a Microwave Reaction Module, an External QC/Analysis/Purification Interface Module, an Aliquotting Module, an F-18 Drying Module, a Concentration Module, a Radiation Counting Module, and a Capillary Reactor Module. | 05-03-2012 |
20120123120 | No-Carrier-Added Nucleophilic [F-18] Fluorination of Aromatic Compounds - Phenyliodonium ylide derivatives substituted with electron donating as well as electron withdrawing groups on the aromatic ring are shown for use as precursors in aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions. The iodonium ylide group is substituted by nucleophiles such as halide ions to provide the corresponding haloaryl derivatives. No-carrier-added [F-18]fluoride ion exclusively substitutes the iodonium ylide moiety in these derivatives and provides high specific activity F-18 labeled fluoro derivatives. Protected L-dopa-6-iodonium ylide derivative have been synthesized as a precursors for the preparation of no-carrier-added 6-[F-18]fluoro-L-dopa. The iodonium ylide group in this L-dopa.derivative is nucleophilically substituted by no-carrier-added [F-18]fluoride ion to provide a [F-18]fluoro intermediates which upon acid hydrolysis yielded 6-[F-18]fluoro-L-dopa. | 05-17-2012 |
20130336883 | DEOXYCYTIDINE KINASE BINDING COMPOUNDS - The invention provides compounds that bind to deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) and compositions including pharmaceutically acceptable compositions containing the compounds. The compounds are useful in treating diseases and disorders where dCK activity is implicated such as cancer and immune disorders. The compounds also find use in clinical methodologies including positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. | 12-19-2013 |
20140248212 | NON-IMMUNOGENIC POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY REPORTER GENE SYSTEMS - Embodiments of the invention include a PET/SPECT reporter gene system that uses enhanced non-immunogenic versions of a human mitochondrial thymidine kinase 2 expressed in cytoplasm to preferentially trap novel PET/SPECT radiolabeled L and D-enantiomer analogs of the natural substrate thymidine. Such highly sensitive, non-immunogenic reporter genes function in combination with a set of novel, radiolabeled probes in whole body molecular imaging applications using positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). | 09-04-2014 |
