Cyclotron Production of High–Specific Activity Co and In Vivo Evaluation of the Stability of Co Metal-Chelate-Peptide Complexes by Tara Mastren, Bernadette V. Marquez, Deborah E. Sultan, Elizabeth Bollinger, Paul Eisenbeis, Tom Voller, Suzanne E. Lapi

“…This work describes the production of high–specific activity 55 Co and the evaluation of the stability of 55 Co-metal-chelate-peptide complexes in vivo. 55 Co was produced via the 58 Ni(p,α) 55 Co reaction and purified using anion exchange chromatography with an average recovery of 92% and an average specific activity of 1.96 GBq/μmol. 55 Co-DO3A and 55 Co-NO2A peptide complexes were radiolabeled at 3.7 MBq/μg and injected into HCT-116 tumor xenografted mice. Positron emission tomography (PET) and biodistribution studies were performed at 24 and 48 hours postinjection and compared to those of 55 CoCl 2 . …”
