Single-step radiofluorination of peptides using continuous flow microreactor

Org Biomol Chem. 2012 May 21;10(19):3871-4. doi: 10.1039/c2ob00015f.

Abstract

18F radiolabelling of peptides bearing two different prosthetic groups was successfully conducted in a continuous flow microfluidic device for the first time. Radiochemical yields were dependent on precursor concentration, reaction temperature and flow rate. The choice of leaving group had a dramatic influence on the reaction outcome. Rapid reaction optimization was possible.
