Overview
Introduction:
Increasing attention in targeted radionuclide cancer therapy is given to alpha emitters. 223Ra and 99mTc labelled hydroxyapatites (nHAp) are suitable candidates for using in therapy and diagnostics of bone metastases. Moreover, both radionuclides and hydroxyapatites are already approved by Food and Drug Administration Agency (FDA) to be used in a number of applications.
Material and methods:
Nano-hydroxyapatite particles were prepared by precipitation of 1,2 M Ca(NO3)2 . 2H2O with 0,8 M (NH4)2HPO4 at pH 10-–11 and laboratory temperature. Stock 223Ra was prepared from 227Ac/227Th/223Ra generator in our laboratory, which was eluted by 0,7 M HNO3 and methanol (2 : 8). Stock 99mTc was obtained from commercial 99Mo/99mTc generator (DRYTEC™, GE Healthcare) and was eluted with 0.9% saline. Radionuclidic purity was evaluated by gamma-spectrometry with high resolution (in case of 223Ra also by alpha-spectrometry). Two strategies were chosen for nanoparticles labelling i.e. surface sorption of radionuclides and intrinsic incorporation of radionuclides and subsequently stability control in saline was performed during 5 half-lives.
Results:
Surface-labelled nHAp were obtained with yields ranging from 80 to 95 %. In the latter strategy, intrinsically labelled nHAp were obtained in the yields of 90–97 %.
Conclusion:
Labelling yields of intrinsically labelled [223Ra]nHAp were slightly higher than surface-labelled nHAp. The obtained labelling yields of [99mTc]nHAp were comparable in both methods. Released activity was below 8 % in all cases.
