Abstract:

Copper (Cu) is an important trace element in humans; Due to its decay characteristics, Cu-64 (T1/2=12.7h, β+ [17.4%], β- [39%], E.C. [43.6%]) is an attractive radionuclide with applications in both, PET Copper molecular imaging and targeted therapy. This radionuclide has been widely used in the labelling of macromolecules such as peptides, proteins, monoclonal antibodies, and thiosemicarbazone complexes, [64Cu]Cu(II)-pyruvaldehyde-bis(N4-methyl-thiosemicarbazone) ([64Cu]Cu(II)- PTSM), a tracer for myocardial perfusion, Cu-64 is produced via the 64Ni(p,n)64Cu, nuclear reaction. [64Cu]-PTSM is prepared using in-house made PTSM ligand and [64Cu] chloride. Radiochemical purity of [64Cu]-Cu(II)-PTSM is higher than 98%. Cu(II) bis(thiosemicarbazone) complex as myocardial perfusion agents, labelled with positron emitters of Cu with half-lives suitable for its regional distribution from a satellite Centre.
