We developed a new fully automated method for the synthesis of [F-18]fluoromisonidazole ([F-18]FMISO) by modifying a commercial FDG synthesizer and its disposable fluid pathway. A three-step procedure was used to prepare the tosylate precursor, 1-(2'-nitro-1'-imidazolyl)-2-O-tetrahydrofuranyl-3-O-toluenesulfonylpropanediol. Using glycerol as the starting material, the precursor was synthesized with a yield of 21%. The optimal labeling conditions for the automated synthesis of [F-18]FMISO was 10 mg of precursor in acetonitrile (2 ml heated at 105 degrees C for 360 s, followed by heating at 75 degrees C for 280 s and hydrolysis with 1 N HCl at 105 degrees C for 300 s. Using 3.7 GBq of [F-18]F- as a starting activity, [F-18]FMISO was obtained with high end-of-synthesis (EOS) radiochemical yields of 58.5 +/- 3.5% for 60.0 +/- 5.2 min with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purification. When solid-phase purification steps were added, the EOS radiochemical yields were 54.5 +/- 2.8% (337 +/- 25 GBq/mu mol) for 70.0 +/- 3.8 min (n=10) for each group, decay-corrected). With a high starting radioactivity of 37.0 GBq, we obtained radiochemical yields of 54.4 +/- 2.9% and 52.8 +/- 4.2%, respectively (n=3). The solid-phase purification removed unreacted [F-18]fluoride and polar impurities before the HPLC procedure. Long-term tests showed a good stability of 98.2 +/- 1.5%. This new automated synthesis procedure combines high and reproducible yields with the advantage of using a disposable cassette system. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
