被引用回数:33 パーセンタイル:85.69(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)A "wet chemistry" approach for isolation of At from an irradiated bismuth target is described. The approach involves five steps: (1) dissolution of bismuth target in conc. HNO; (2) removal of the HNO by distillation; (3) dissolution of residue in 8 M HCl; (4) extraction of At from 8 M HCl into DIPE; and (5) extraction of At from DIPE into NaOH. Results from 55 "optimized" At isolation runs gave recovery yields of approximately 78% after decay and attenuation corrections. An attenuation-corrected average of 263 mCi in the target provided isolated (actual) yields of 163 mCi of At. A sixth step, used for purification of At from trace metals, was evaluated in seven runs. In those runs, isolated At was distilled under reductive conditions to provide an average 718% recovery. RadioHPLC analyses of the isolated At solutions, both initial and after distillation, were obtained to examine the At species present. The primary species of At present was astatide, but astatate and unidentified species were also observed. Studies to determine the effect of bismuth attenuation on At were conducted to estimate and attenuation factor (1.33) for adjustment of At readings in the bismuth target.

At-211(半減期:7.21時間)は、内用放射線治療への応用が期待されている線放出核種である。At-211の製造ではHeビームを用いたBi(,2n)反応によるAt-211の生成、および、乾式蒸留法による分離が一般的に行われてきた。しかし、乾式蒸留法は回収率が安定しないという問題点に加えて、内用放射線治療での利用に必須となる装置化に適さない。そこで、安定した回収率が期待でき、かつ装置化に適した湿式分離法に着目し、本法を用いたBiターゲットからのAt-211の分離を実施した。本講演ではその成果を報告する。

Difficulties with reproducibility of isolation yield when distilling At from irradiated bismuth targets led us to use a "wet chemistry" approach for that process. The wet chemistry approach has provided At isolation yields of 78% after decay and Bi attenuation corrections. However, the use of diisopropyl ether (DIPE) in the separation process has made it difficult to reach our goal of automating the At reaction. Therefore, we have investigated the use of column materials to simplify the isolation of At and remove DIPE from the process. In this investigation, we evaluated the use of a strong anion exchange resin (AG1x8), a strong cation exchange resin (AG MP-50) and a polypropylene glycol (PEG)-coated resin for separation of At from the bismuth target material.

Our desire to obtain higher and more consistent recovery of At-211 from large irradiated bismuth tagrets led to the refinement of a wet chemistry approach for isolation of At-211. The wet chemistry approach has provided very consistent isolation yields (75%) with no failures in over 200 irradiations. However, our desire to automate the process has been stymied by the miscibility and differential compressibility of the diisopropyl ether (DIPE) used in an extraction step in the process. As an alternative alkylether extractant to replace DIPE, we have investigated columns that contain polyethylene glycol (PEG) bound to a solid supoort.

アスタチン-211(At-211)は、RI内用療法への利用が期待される半減期7.2時間の線放出RIである。本研究では、Bi(,2n)反応により生成したAt-211の分離について、乾式法および湿式法により検討した。乾式法では、加熱により気化させたAt-211をコールドトラップ後、種々の溶媒を通液することで回収した。溶媒として0.1M NaOH/エタノール=1/19(v/v)溶液を用いた結果、平均収率58%(n=24)で回収可能であった。一方、湿式法では、酸溶液中のAt-211がエーテルに効率よく抽出される点に着目し、ポリエチレングリコール樹脂を用いた分離を検討した。その結果、8M HClに溶解したAt-211は、99%でPEG樹脂に吸着され、15M NHOHで溶出した結果、収率79%でAt-211を回収できることを明らかにした。本発表では化学分離の結果に加えて、各分離法で得られるAt-211の化学形分析の結果も合わせて報告する予定である。
