In order to develop a possible Ga-labeled glucagon (GCG) compound for imaging studies, biosynthetic glucagon (GCG) was labeled with [67Ga]-gallium chloride after conjugation with freshly prepared diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid dianhydride (ccDTPA). After solid phase purification of the radiolabeled hormone, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and instant thin-layer chromatography (ITLC) showed a radiochemical purity around 95 per cent in optimized conditions (specific activity = 296–370 GBq/mM; labeling efficiency 85 per cent). Preliminary in vivo studies (IDźg–1 per cent) in male wild-type rats showed heart:muscle, liver:muscle, lung:muscle and stomach:muscle ratios to be 5.53, 2.9, 7.56, 3.69, 3.2 (in 5 min), respectively while after 2 h liver:blood, lung:blood and spleen:blood ratios were 14.21, 16.86 and 7.8, respectively. The data suggests 5 min post injection, the tracer is accumulated in GCGR rich tissues which is in agreement with biodistribution studies and reported GCG receptors (GCGRs). The results of the present study can possibly offer a candidate for non-invasive imaging of glucagon receptor related diseased and malignancies such as glucagonoma.

Targeting apoptosis is an interesting issue in molecular imaging and various modalities have been presented. However, recent experiences in nuclear pharmacy demonstrated the application of small tracer molecules is more desired. This work was conducted for production of a radiolabeled copper complex, i.e. 61Cu-oxinate as a potential PET tracer for apoptosis imaging in oncology. Cu-61 was prepared by natural zinc target irradiation with 22 MeV protons (150 miA) via the natZn(p, xn)61Cu nuclear reaction with a yield of 3.33 mCi/miAh. In order to obtain the best labeling method, optimization reactions were performed for pH, temperature and concentration followed by solid phase extraction. Biodistribution of the tracer was studied in wild-type and fibrosarcoma bearing mice. Under the optimized conditions, radio-thin-layer chromatography (RTLC) and HPLC showed radiochemical purities of 99.99% and 97% respectively (with a minimum specific activity of 16 Ci/mM). Biodistribution of the tracer in fibrosarcoma bearing mice demonstrated a significant tumor uptake after 3 h. Tumor:blood and tumor:muscle ratios were 2.0 and 6.0 after 3 h, respectively.

Human gamma globulin can be labeled by a direct or indirect method of radiotracer incorporated in a protein molecule. In this indirect method hydrazinonicotinic acid (HYNIC) is used which saves the structure and biological activity of the protein. Our goal was the efficient labeling of the human gamma globulin and evaluation of its biodistribution in different organs which can be used on experimentally induced infection causing inflammation. Immune globulin is mixed with s-hynic and IgG-hynic is developed using sidle A-lyzer and stored at –20°C which can be used at least for six months and then Sn-tricine kit is prepared which is used for 99mTc labeling. Efficiency of 99mTc-IgG-hynic labeling at pH 6.4 was very much dependent on ligand (hynic) and coligand (tricine) presence in the reaction mixture. Radiochemical purity was more than 90% in the kits prepared. Serum stability study showed no decomposition of 99mTc from the complex. The biodistribution studies showed the highest percentage ID/organ in the blood, liver and kidney, respectively. A human gamma globulin was successfully labeled through hynic to 99mTc by an indirect method with high radiochemical purity.
