Ds. Zhong et al., Synthesis of 3 beta-(4-[I-125]Iodophenyl)tropane-2 beta-pyrrolidine carboxamide ([I-125]RTI-229), J LABEL C R, 42(3), 1999, pp. 281-286
A WIN 35,055-2 analog, 3 beta-(4-iodophenyl)tropane-2 beta-pyrrolidine carb
oxamide (RTI-229), has been radiolabelled with iodine-125 by radioiododesta
nnylation of the corresponding trimethyltin derivative using carrier-free s
odium iodide-125 as the isotope source. Purification by reversed-phase HPLC
gives [I-125]RTI-229 in good yield (89.4%) with high radiochemical purity
(>99%) and high specific activity (2125 mCi/mu mol, 78.6 GBq/mu mol, based
on the specific activity of the (NaI)-I-125 used).
