Summary
Fac-[188Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+ was synthesized with an overall radiochemical yield of 80±5%, and more than 95% radiochemical purity after a QMA Sep-Pak column separation. Fac-[Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+ was also synthesized as a reference sample. The structure of the precursor, fac-[188Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+, was confirmed by high performance of liquid chromatography (HPLC). MN-His (magnetic nanoparticles coated with silica and modified with an amino silane coupling agent, N-[3-(trimethyoxysilyl)propyl]-ethylenediamine (SG-Si900) and immobilized with histidine) was labeled with fac-[188Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+ and an initial animal test of MN-His was conducted for a magnetic targeting study.
