K. Hashizume et al., A NEW METHOD FOR F-18 LABELING OF BIOCHEMICAL-MOLECULES USING [F-18] PERFLUORONITROBENZENE AND ITS APPLICATION TO F-18 LABELING OF ANGIOTENSIN-II, Chemistry Letters, (2), 1997, pp. 109-110
We propose a new method for labeling biochemical molecules with flouri
ne-18 (positron emitters) using [G-F-18]polyfluoronitrobenzene as the
reagent. Perfluoronitrobenzene was easily labeled with F-18(-) by the
F-18-for-F-19 exchange reaction giving [G-F-18]pentafluoronitrobenzene
(PFNB, radiochemical yield 30-41%) and the [G-F-18]PFNB was applied s
uccessfully for F-18-labeling of angiotensin II.
