F. Dumont et G. Slegers, RADIOLABELING OPTIMIZATION OF -123]-IODO-4-OXO-1,4-DIHYDROQUINOLINE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID - A POTENTIAL TRACER FOR NMDA SPECT STUDIES, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 218(2), 1997, pp. 239-241
The synthesis of 7-bromo-5-[I-123]-iodokynurenic acid is described. Th
e tracer was prepared using a nucleophilic non-isotopic exchange react
ion from the corresponding bromo derivative. Optimisation of the react
ion parameters and HPLC purification were performed and the radiotrace
r was obtained in a chemical and radiochemical purity > 95% and a spec
ific activity of 235 Ci/mu mol.
