Estrogen receptor (ER) expression level of human breast cancer often reflects the stage of disease and is usually monitored by immunohistochemical staining in vitro. The preferable non-invasive and real-time diagnosis in vivo is more accessible by PET scan using 16α-[18F]FES. The objective of this study was to develop a quick automatic method for synthesis of solvent-free 16α-[18F]FES using a CFN-MPS-200 synthesis system and compare the catalytic efficiency of two phase transfer catalysts, Kryptofix 222/K2CO3 (K222/K2CO3) and tetrabutylammonium hydrogen carbonate (TBA·HCO3). In this method, phase transfer catalysts K222/K2CO3 and TBA·HCO3 were used, respectively. The intermediate products were both hydrolyzed with hydrochloric acid and neutralized with sodium bicarbonate. The crude product was purified with semi-preparative HPLC, and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. The effects of radiofluorination temperature and time on the synthesis were also investigated. Radiochemical purity of solvent-free product was above 99% and the decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 16α-[18F]FES was obtained in 48.7 ± 0.95% (catalyzed by K222/K2CO3, n = 4) and 46.7 ± 0.77% (catalyzed by TBA·HCO3, n = 4, respectively). The solvent-free 16α-[18F]FES was studied in clinically diagnosed breast cancer patients, and FES-PET results were compared with pathology diagnosis results to validate the diagnosis value of 16α-[18F]FES. The new method was more reliable, efficient, and time-saving. There was no significant difference in catalytic activity between K222/K2CO3 and TBA·HCO3. |
