Background technology
[5 '-O-(4,4 '-dimethoxytrityl)-2 '-deoxidation-3 '-O-(4-nitrobenzene sulfonyl)-β-D-threo form furan pentose base] thymidine (Noso-FLT) be a kind of tumour cell proliferation imaging agent 3 '-deoxidation-3 '-fluorine thymidine (
18F-FLT, the labelled precursor of 3 '-deoxy-3 '-fluorothymidine).Its chemical structural formula is as follows:
18It is stable that F-FLT has chemical property, in vivo can very fast decomposition, can be used to detect advantages such as cell proliferation.The propagation situation that reflects tumour cell by the activity of position emissron tomography PET video picture reflection thymidine kinase 1 (TK-1) indirectly helps that tumour is carried out good pernicious discriminating, curative effect assessment and prognosis and judges.Present how tame PET center applications
18F-FLT has carried out cell line research, zoopery and clinical application research extensively and profoundly to kinds of tumors.Numerous studies show that,
18F-FLT may be a kind of ratio clinical tumour PET medicine commonly used at present
18F-FDG (
18The F-deoxyglucose) the PET tracer agent that tumour-specific is higher, and may not have in early days that wound is estimated the oncotherapy reaction and the prognosis evaluation aspect has important value, be PET developer with application prospect.
In order to obtain high-quality PET tumour cell proliferation imaging agent
18F-FLT, in the process of preparation precursor Noso-FLT, must strict control impurity content.Can detect Noso-FLT with general UV-detector, but some are not had uv absorption or the more weak impurity of uv absorption, can't detect.The ultraviolet detection chromatogram is seen Fig. 1.
We adopt evaporative light-scattering detector (ELSD), after being characterized in that eluent enters detecting device, at first atomized by high pressure draught, the droplet that atomizing forms enters vaporization chamber (drift tube, drift tube), and moving phase and lower boiling component are evaporated, the droplet of remaining high boiling component enters scattering cell, be scattered when light beam passes scattering cell, scattered light is received by photoelectric tube and forms electric signal, and electric signal converts chromatogram digital signal---chromatogram to by amplifying circuit, analog digital.All enter into the material of scattering cell all can be detected, and response is only relevant with amount of substance, and comparing it with common detector differential detecting device does not have the refractive power parallax effect, has the advantage that baseline wander can not occur.Therefore, we can detect all impurity among the Noso-FLT with HPLC-ELSD, comprise the impurity of no uv absorption, and chromatogram is seen Fig. 2.Correlation technique is not seen bibliographical information.
