日本原子力研究開発機構は、2011年の福島第一原子力発電所事故を契機に作られ2013年12月に施行された新しい規制要件に、高温工学試験研究炉(HTTR)を適合させた。様々な高温ガス炉(HTTR)安全試験を通じて得られたHTGRに関する知見を基に、既存の構造物,系統及び機器の安全性及び耐震分類が議論された。防護の対象となる構築物,系統及び機器が再検討し、安全機能に影響を及ぼす内的・外的脅威への対策が強化された。さらに、設計基準を超える事故として、多量の放射性物質が放出されるおそれのある事故に対する措置を講じた。我々のこの対応が、新しい規制要求に適合していることを、原子力規制委員会は厳格かつ適切に審査した。2014年11月に提出したHTTRの設置許可変更申請書は、9回の修正を経て2020年6月に承認された。この対応は、高温ガス炉の特性を反映すれば、強化された規制要件を満たすためでも合理的に設計できることを示しており、今後の高温ガス炉の開発の参考になると考える。

超伝導転移端センサー(TES)マイクロ熱量計は、優れたエネルギー分解能と高い効率を持った、加速器施設での実験に理想的なX線検出器である。高強度パルス荷電粒子ビームを用いたTES検出器の性能を研究するために、日本の陽子加速器研究施設(J-PARC)でパルスミュオンビームを用いてX線スペクトルを測定した。X線エネルギーの実質的な時間的シフトがパルスミュオンビームの到着時間と相関していることを発見した。これは、最初のパルスビームからのエネルギー粒子の入射によるパルスパイルアップによって合理的に説明された。

Radioisotope labeled peptides with high affinity to receptors overexpressing on the surface of tumor cells are promising for applications in nuclear medicine such as diagnostic radiography and radiotherapy. Radiohalogens such as $$^{131}$$I and $$^{211}$$At are useful for clinical imaging and therapeutic applications, and it can be introduced at the ${it para}$ position of phenylalanine residue via electrophilic destannylation. KCCYSL (Lys$$^{1}$$-Cys$$^{2}$$-Cys$$^{3}$$-Tyr$$^{4}$$-Ser$$^{5}$$-Leu$$^{6}$$) is a hexapeptide containing disulfide bond. Previous study revealed that KCCYSL has potential as tumor imaging and therapeutic agent targeting tumor cells overexpressing the human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2). In this study, we report synthesis and ${it in vitro}$ evaluation of radiohalogenated KCCYSL derivatives. Precursor peptides, Boc-F(${it p}$-SnBu$$_{3}$$)K(Boc)C(Trt)C(Trt)Y($$^{t}$$Bu)S($$^{t}$$Bu)L-OH and Boc-F(${it p}$-SnBu$$_{3}$$)GS($$^{t}$$Bu)GK(Boc)C(Trt)C(Trt)Y($$^{t}$$Bu)S($$^{t}$$Bu)L-OH, were synthesized by the Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis. Then, precursor peptides were radioiodinated via electrophilic destannylation, and they were deprotected to obtain F(${it p}$-$$^{131}$$I)KCCYSL and F(${it p}$-$$^{131}$$I)GSGKCCYSL in radiochemical yield 15% and 17%, respectively. ${it In vitro}$ assays of the radioiodinated peptides for HER2 and stability in serum are being undertaken.

Radiolabeled amino acids are superior PET tracers for imaging of malignant tumors, and amino acids labeled with $$^{76}$$Br, an attractive positron emitter due to its relatively long half-life (t$$_{1/2}$$=16.2 h), could potentially be widely usable tumor imaging tracer. In this study, in consideration of stability and tumor specificity, 2-$$^{76}$$Br-bromo-$$alpha$$-methyl-L-phenylalanine (2-$$^{76}$$Br-BAMP) and 4-$$^{76}$$Br-bromo-$$alpha$$-methyl-L-phenylalanine (4-$$^{76}$$Br-BAMP) were designed and their potential as a tumor imaging agent was evaluated. No-carrier-added $$^{76}$$Br and $$^{77}$$Br, the latter of which is suitable radiobromine for basic studies due to its longer half-life (t$$_{1/2}$$ = 57.1 h), were produced. Both $$^{77}$$Br-BAMPs were stable in the plasma and in the murine body. In biodistribution studies, 2-$$^{77}$$Br-BAMP showed more rapid blood clearance and lower renal accumulation than did 4-$$^{77}$$Br-BAMP. More than 90% of injected radioactivity was excreted in the urine by 6 h post-injection of 2-$$^{77}$$Br-BAMP. High tumor accumulation of 2-$$^{77}$$Br-BAMP was observed in tumor-bearing mice and PET imaging with 2-$$^{76}$$Br-BAMP enabled clear visualization of the tumor. These findings suggest that 2-$$^{76}$$Br-BAMP would constitute a potential new PET tracer for tumor imaging and may eventually enable the wider use of amino acid tracers.

We have sought to establish drug discovery system using radioisotope (RI) labeled peptides which have high affinity to target proteins overexpressed in cancers. Of the target proteins, we chose the human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2), a membrane protein overexpressed in various cancers to evaluate the drug discovery system. Three series of random hexapeptide libraries introduced a radioiodinated D-tyrosine (y(3-$$^{131}$$I)) to $$N$$-terminal were designed and binding assay with HER2-expressed cell lines were conducted in this study. First, we synthesized a series of random hexapeptide libraries with fixed amino acid sequence at 1 and 2 positions, y(3-$$^{131}$$I)X$$^{1}$$X$$^{2}$$X$$^{3}$$X$$^{4}$$X$$^{5}$$X$$^{6}$$. Non-radioactive random peptide libraries, yXXXXXX, were prepared by Fmoc-SPPS with an automatic peptide synthesizer. Radioiodinated y(3-$$^{131}$$I)XXXXXX were subsequently synthesized in 30-50% radiochemical yield. Binding assay using HER2-overexpressed cell line showed that high affinity (38-50% dose, n=6) was obtained with yIIXXXX, while other random peptide libraries were yielded low affinity (approximately 1% dose), which indicated that the system using RI labeled random peptide libraries have potential to discover peptide drug for cancer therapy. Preparation of other random hexapeptide libraries are being undertaken.

No-carrier-added $$^{177}$$Lu produced via the $$^{176}$$Yb(n, $$gamma$$) $$^{177}$$Yb $$rightarrow$$$$^{177}$$Lu process was separated from the macroscopic amounts of the Yb target using reversed-phase ion-pair liquid chromatography. To produce a highly purified $$^{177}$$Lu solution capable of labeling antibodies, the metallic impurities were removed using cation, chelating ion, and anion exchange columns. After the elimination of metallic impurities, the concentrations of Ca, Fe, and Zn were reduced from 87, 340, and 77 ppb to 13, 18, and 9 ppb, respectively. Consequently, the labeling yield of the $$^{177}$$Lu -labeled antibody increased from less than 5% to 88%.

Radioisotope (RI)-labeled peptide with high affinity to receptors overexpressing on the surface of tumor cells are promising for applications in nuclear medicine such as diagnostic radiography and radiotherapy. MARSGL (H-Met$$^{1}$$-Ala$$^{2}$$-Arg$$^{3}$$-Ser$$^{4}$$-Gly$$^{5}$$-Leu$$^{6}$$-OH), a linear peptide consisting of six amino acids, has high affinity to HER2/neu receptor overexpressing in various cancer cells. Radiohalogens (radionuclides) such as radioiodine and radiobromine are versatile for clinical imaging and therapeutic applications. Thus, radiohalogenated MARSGL may have potential for clinical applications to HER2 overexpressing tumors. In this study, in order to achieve the labeling of radiohalogen for MARSGL, we design a radioiodinated peptide, F(${it p}$-$$^{131}$$I)MARSGL, in which phenylalanine labeled with $$^{131}$$I (t$$_{1/2}$$ = 8.0 d) at the ${it para}$ position of the aromatic ring is introduced into the N-terminal of MARSGL and report a new technique to prepare radiohalogen of peptide via electrophilic destanylation.

Capabillity tests of 3D imaging for medical applications were performed by using a new Compton camera. $$^{18}$$F, $$^{131}$$I and $$^{67}$$Ga separately compacted into micro tubes were injected subcutaneously into a Wister rat and imaged after sacrifice of the rat (ex-vivo model). In a separate experiment $$^{111}$$In-chloride and $$^{131}$$I-Methylnorcholestenol were injected into a rat intravenously and $$^{64}$$Cu was injected into the stomach orally just before imaging (more physiological model). The Compton camera demonstrated its 3D multinuclear imaging capability by separating out the three nuclear distributions clearly in ex-vivo model. In the more physiological model, the distributions of $$^{131}$$I and $$^{64}$$Cu were clearly imaged although $$^{111}$$In was difficult to visualize due to blurring at low energy region of $$gamma$$-ray. In conclusion, our new Compton camera successfully demonstrated highly resolved multiplanar and multinuclear $$gamma$$-ray simultaneous imaging.

Radioisotope (RI)-labeled peptides which have the high affinity to receptors on surface of the tumor cell are promising for diagnostic radiography (PET and SPECT) and radiotherapy. MARSGL (H-Met$$^{1}$$-Ala$$^{2}$$-Arg$$^{3}$$-Ser$$^{4}$$-Gly$$^{5}$$-Leu$$^{6}$$-OH), a linear hexapeptide consisting of six amino acids, has the high affinity to HER2/neu receptor overexpressing in various cancer cells. Thus, radiolabeled MARSGL has potential for the above mentioned purposes. Radiohalogens have various useful radionuclides, which could be introduced to aromatic compounds via tin-halogen exchange reaction. In this study, stannylated peptide Boc-F(${it p}$-SnBu$$_{3}$$)MAR(Pbf)S($$^{t}$$Bu)GL-OH was synthesized to prepare radiohalogen ($$^{76}$$Br or $$^{131}$$I)-labeled FMARSGL derivatives. First, Boc-Phe(${it p}$-SnBu$$_{3}$$)-OH was prepared from Boc-Phe(${it p}$-I)-OMe via Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction with (Bu$$_{3}$$Sn)$$_{2}$$ and was successfully introduced into ${it N}$-terminal of H-MARSGL-Trt(2-Cl) resin synthesized from H-Leu-Trt(2-Cl) resin by Fmoc-SPPS. After cleavage reaction of Boc-F(${it p}$-SnBu$$_{3}$$)MAR(Pbf)S($$^{t}$$Bu)GL-Trt(2-Cl) resin with 25% 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol in CH$$_{2}$$Cl$$_{2}$$, Boc-F(${it p}$-SnBu$$_{3}$$)MAR(Pbf)S($$^{t}$$Bu)GL-OH was obtained and identified by using ESI-MS and NMR. Synthesis of $$^{131}$$I-labeled FMARSGL is due to report in this presentation.

Sansalvamide A (SA), a penta cyclic peptide isolated marine fungus, is a lead compound of anti-cancer reagent because the peptide has cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines. Halogenated SA derivatives (SA-X, X = Cl, Br, I) was prepared and remarkable cytotocity against malignant human breast cancer. In this study, a radiohalogenated SA derivative [$$^{125}$$I]SA-I was prepared to conduct in vivo evaluation of SA derivatives. Synthetic scheme of [$$^{125}$$I]SA-I are as follows: an iodinated linear peptide, Boc-F(p-I)LLVL-OMe, was prepared by the conventional solid phase peptide synthesis. After preparation of stannylated peptide, Boc-F(p-SnBu$$_{3}$$)LLVL-OMe, $$^{125}$$I was labeled with electrophilic destannylation in the presence of oxidizing reagent. After deprotection of N- and C-termius, [$$^{125}$$I]SA-I was obtained successfully by macrocyclization in liquid phase. Overall labeled yield was 7%. To our best knowledge, this report is the first on the synthesis of radiolabeled SA derivative. In vivo evaluation of the SA derivative using [$$^{125}$$I]SA-I is being undertaken.

近年、がんに対する特異性が高いPET薬剤として、$$^{11}$$Cや$$^{18}$$Fで標識したアミノ酸誘導体が開発され、臨床応用されるようになってきた。しかしながら$$^{11}$$Cや$$^{18}$$Fは半減期が非常に短いため、それぞれの病院で製造・合成する必要があり、限られた施設でしか使えないのが現状である。一方、$$^{76}$$Brは、半減期が16.1時間とポジトロン放出核種としては比較的長く、またハロゲン核種であるため母体化合物との結合にキレート剤等が必要ないことから、アミノ酸のような低分子化合物に対しても応用可能である。そこで本研究では、広く臨床使用することが可能な、新規がん診断用PETイメージング薬剤として$$^{76}$$Br標識アミノ酸誘導体の開発を計画した。基礎検討には半減期が長い放射性臭素である$$^{77}$$Br(半減期57時間)を用いて行うこととした。Br標識アミノ酸としては、$$alpha$$メチルフェニルアラニン($$alpha$$-Me-Phe)のパラ位にBrを導入したBr-$$alpha$$-Me-Pheを設計した。$$^{77}$$Br-$$alpha$$-Me-Pheは標識率25-40%で合成することができた。$$^{77}$$Br-$$alpha$$-Me-Pheを担癌マウスに投与したところ、腫瘍への高い集積性を示し、投与3時間後の腫瘍対血液比は3.94、腫瘍対筋肉比は3.95であった。$$^{76}$$Br-$$alpha$$-Me-Pheを担癌マウスに投与してPET撮像を行ったところ、腫瘍を明瞭に描出することができた。以上の結果から、$$^{76}$$Br-$$alpha$$-Me-Pheの新規がんイメージング薬剤としての有用性が示唆された。

A Monte Carlo simulation system was developed to estimate the response of Compton camera against $$gamma$$-ray emissions from RI spots in a PET-standard human-body phantom. The quality of the three-dimensional imaging program for the Si/CdTe Compton camera to reconstruct the image of the RI spots in a phantom was evaluated by the system, when the phantom has three hot sphere-regions with the same known RI density and different diameters, in other words, different known intensities. The density values of the hot regions reconstructed by the three-dimensional imaging program for the Compton camera were consistent to the known intensities of the RI. It demonstrates sufficient quality of the program for Si/CdTe Compton camera to image RI spots in the phantom.

A New method for monitoring beam range by measuring low energy photons

山口 充孝; 鳥飼 幸太*; 河地 有木; 島田 博文*; 佐藤 隆博; 長尾 悠人; 藤巻 秀; 国分 紀秀*; 渡辺 伸*; 高橋 忠幸*; et al.

Proceedings of 2013 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference Record (NSS/MIC), 2 Pages, 2013/00

We studied a new method to monitor a beam range in heavy-ion radiation therapy on the basis of measurement of low energy photons emitted from a track of the ion beam. A 290 MeV/u carbon beam was injected into a cylindrical water phantom. A CdTe semiconductor detector with a lead slit having a width of 2 mm was placed at a side of the phantom. In order to measure the position dependence of the low energy photon count, the beam range was varied by changing the energy of injected ions using a binary energy degrader placed about 100 cm upstream of the beam focal point. The measured photon count decreased when the detector got closer to the end point of the beam range and the derivative of the photon count values sharply changed within a depth variation of a few mm in front of the range position. This was explained by our theoretical study assuming secondary electron bremsstrahlung. These results indicate that this new method could be useful to estimate the range position from the observation of bremsstrahlung with an accuracy of a few mm.

We describe a new method for estimating the beam range in heavy-ion radiation therapy by measuring the ion beam bremsstrahlung. We experimentally confirm that the secondary electron bremsstrahlung process provides the dominant bremsstrahlung contribution. A Monte Carlo simulation shows that the number of background photons from annihilation $$gamma$$ rays is about 1% of the bremsstrahlung strength in the low-energy region used in our estimation (63-68 keV). Agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical prediction for the characteristic shape of the bremsstrahlung spectrum validates the effectiveness of our new method in estimating the ion beam range.

3-[$$^{18}$$F]Fluoro-$$alpha$$-methyl-L-tyrosine ([$$^{18}$$F]FAMT) is a useful amino acid tracer for PET imaging of malignant tumors. FAMT analogs labeled with $$^{76}$$Br, a positron emitter with a long half-life (t$$_{1/2}$$=16.1 h), could be widely used as tracers for tumor imaging. In this study, 3-[$$^{76}$$Br]bromo-$$alpha$$-methyl-L-tyrosine ([$$^{76}$$Br]BAMT) was designed, and its usefulness was evaluated as a novel PET tracer for imaging malignant tumors. In this study, both [$$^{76}$$Br]BAMT and [$$^{77}$$Br]BAMT were prepared. [$$^{77}$$Br]BAMT was stable in vitro, but was catabolized after administration in mice. Cellular accumulation and retention of [$$^{77}$$Br]BAMT using LS180 colon adenocarcinoma cells were significantly higher than those of [$$^{18}$$F]FAMT. In biodistribution studies using LS180 tumor-bearing mice, the tumor accumulation of [$$^{77}$$Br]BAMT was higher than that of [$$^{18}$$F]FAMT. However, some level of debromination was seen, and this debromination caused more retention of radioactivity in the blood and organs than was seen with [$$^{18}$$F]FAMT. PET imaging with [$$^{76}$$Br]BAMT enabled clear visualization of the tumor. In conclusion, although an improvement in stability is still needed, $$^{76}$$Br-labeled FAMT analogs could potentially serve as PET tracers for the imaging of malignant tumors.

現在PET診断に用いられている核種は半減期が2時間以下と非常に短いため、抗体のような集積に時間のかかる化合物を利用したPET診断には限界がある。これを解決するために、本研究では新規ポジトロン放出核種として半減期が16.2時間の$$^{76}$$Brの製造法の開発を行った。セレン化銅をターゲットとし、$$^{76}$$Se(p,n) $$^{76}$$Br反応を用い、原子力機構のTIARA-AVFサイクロトロンからの20MeV, H$$^{+}$$ビームで照射をして$$^{76}$$Brを生成した。$$^{76}$$Brの回収にはターゲット由来の毒物であるSeの混入を防ぐために乾式蒸留法を採用し、Brトラップ回収条件等の検討により、$$^{76}$$Brの高純度分離を達成した。分離条件については、回収方法及び電気炉内温度の最適化により、ターゲット中に生成した全$$^{76}$$Brの放出及びテフロンチューブ内でのロスの低減により、30%程度の回収率を約80%にまで向上させることに成功した。
