For further preclinical and clinical use, regulated production of [18F]NS10743 by fully automated radiosynthesis is a crucial requirement. Therefore, we chose a commercial synthesis module and developed the automated radiosynthesis of [18F]NS10743. Besides evaluation of several radiosynthesis procedures, we performed an extensive HPLC study for quantitative separation of [18F]NS10743 from the corresponding nitro precursor. After implementation of the optimized procedure on a TRACERlabTM FX F-N synthesis module, [18F]NS10743 was obtained in high radiochemical purity (≥99%) with an overall radiochemical yield of 32.2±7% (n=3). The specific activities at the end of the synthesis were 571±17 GBq/µmol (n=3).}, pages = {76--84}, title = {A high-yield automated radiosynthesis of the alpha-7nicotinic receptor radioligand[18F]NS10743}, volume = {95}, year = {2014} }
