Purpose: Radiolabeled peptides like 177Lu-DOTA-TATE are vulnerable to radiolysis, which results in decreasedradiochemical purity (RCP) of these radiopeptides. Gentisic acid (GA) and ascorbic acid (AA) are well known ingredientsto reduce the effects of radiolysis. Currently, there is a trend to change the procedure from a manual to a cassette-basedautomated labeling and to introduce a C18 solid phase extraction (SPE) post-radiolabeling in order to removenon-incorporated 177Lu from the injection solution. However, with the introduction of SPE purification, GA and AAmight effectively be removed from injection solution with a concordant dramatically drop of the RCP. Therefore weinvestigated the impact of tC18 SPE purification on the RCP of 177Lu-DOTA-TATE.Methods: We compared the manual radiolabeling procedure with the cassette-based automated radiolabeling procedurewith/out tC18 SPE purification cartridge. The effect of tC18 purification on RCP of 177Lu-DOTA-TATE wasinvestigated by HPLC as function of the post-radiolabeling time and the concentration of activity.Results: After tC18 SPE purification, GA and AA were effectively removed and resulted in volume-dependent decreasein RCP, e.g. <95% after 5h in 20 mL. Re-addition of AA directly after tC18 SPE purification resulted in a RCP ≥95% at72h. In addition, with the cassette-based automated radiolabeling procedure we also found 28% of the original activityremaining in the activity-containing vial and tubing vs. < 1% with the manual procedure.Conclusion: Re-addition of AA post tC18 SPE purification is required to maintain RCP of 177Lu-DOTA-TATE.

Background: To optimize [18F] 9-fluoropropyl-(+)-dihydrotetrabenazine (18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ) purification via solid-phase extraction (SPE) with combined cartridges to facilitate its widespread clinical application.Methods: A modified SPE purification method, employing Sep-Pak PS-2 and Sep-Pak C18 cartridges, was used for the preparation of 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ. This method was compared to the purification method of high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and SPE with one cartridge, following quality control test and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in healthy volunteers and patients with parkinsn's disease (PD).Results: A SPE purification method integrating Sep-Pak PS-2 and Sep-Pak C18 cartridges was implemented successfully. The retention time of 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ purified by HPLC, SPE with Sep-Pak PS-2, SPE with Sep-Pak C18, and SPE with combined use of Sep-Pak PS-2 and Sep-Pak C18 cartridges was 8.7, 8.8, 8.7, and 8.9 min, respectively. Fewest impurity peak was detected in 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ purified by the SPE with combined use of Sep-Pak PS-2 and Sep-Pak C18 cartridges. This modified SPE purification method provided a satisfactory radiochemical yield of 29 ± 1.8% with radiochemical purity &gt;99% and shortened synthesis time to 27 min. The brain uptake of 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ purified by the modified SPE was comparable to that purified by HPLC in both healthy volunteers and PD patients.Conclusions: A SPE method integrating Sep-Pak PS-2 and Sep-Pak C18 cartridges for purification of 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ may be highly suited to automatic synthesis for routine clinical applications, as it provides excellent radiochemical purity, high yield as well as operational simplicity.

AbstractThe extraction of lipophilic wood extractives from pulp and paper process waters proves to be a challenging task, due to harsh and alternating process and sample conditions. This study has determined the potential use of polymeric sorbents for solid-phase extraction (SPE) and compared to classical silica-based reversed-phase packed columns, with polymeric hydrophilic-lipophilic balanced (HLB) cartridges being the sorbent with the most potential. Recovery functions were obtained with an internal standard mixture representative for the main lipophilic wood extractive groups, which are fatty acids and alcohols, sterols, sterol esters and triglycerides. The impact of pH, sample volume and sample matrix, expressed as TOC and cations, on the retention behavior of lipophilic extractives during SPE of industrial samples were determined with polymeric HLB sorbent. High variations in the composition of pulp mill matrices led to different optimal extraction conditions. Thus, a new SPE protocol was developed, which bypasses matrix interferences and omits the loss of analytes due to sample preparation. The method is applicable to different pulp mill effluents with large discrepancies in pH and sample matrices, resulting in recoveries >90 % with RSD <5 % for all lipophilic wood extractives.

Solid-phase extraction embedded dialysis (SPEED technology) is an innovative procedure developed to physically separate in-situ, during the cultivation, the mycelium of filament forming microorganisms, such as actinomycetes and fungi, and the XAD-16 resin used to trap the secreted specialized metabolites. SPEED consists of an external nylon cloth and an internal dialysis tube containing the XAD resin. The dialysis barrier selects the molecular weight of the trapped compounds, and prevents the aggregation of biomass or macromolecules on the XAD beads. The external nylon promotes the formation of a microbial biofilm, making SPEED a biofilm supported cultivation process. SPEED technology was applied to the marine Streptomyces albidoflavus 19-S21, isolated from a core of a submerged Kopara sampled at 20 m from the border of a saltwater pond. The chemical space of this strain was investigated effectively using a dereplication strategy based on molecular networking and in-depth chemical analysis. The results highlight the impact of culture support on the molecular profile of Streptomyces albidoflavus 19-S21 secondary metabolites.

Herein, we present a one-step labeling procedure of N-succinimidyl-4-[18F]-fluorobenzoate ([18F]SFB) starting from spirocyclic iodonium ylide precursors. Precursor syntheses succeeded via a simple one-pot, two-step synthesis sequence, in yields of approximately 25%. Subsequent 18F-nucleophilic aromatic labeling was performed, and radiochemical incorporations (RCCs) from 5–35% were observed. Purification could be carried out using HPLC and subsequent solid phase extraction. Radiochemical purity (RCP) of >95% was determined. The total synthesis time, including purification and formulation, was no longer than 60 min. In comparison to the established 3-step synthesis route of [18F]SFB, this one-step approach avoids formation of volatile radioactive side-products and simplifies automatization.

Abstract Ascorbic acid is frequently determined by titration with 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol. The determination is rapid, but the method is neither specific for ascorbic acid nor very sensitive. The coloring matter in the assay solution interferes with the visual endpoint, and iron(ll), copper(l), sulfite, and sulfhydryl substances such as cysteine and glutathione interfere with the color reaction. Sample cleanup by solid-phase extraction with C18 bonded silica was developed to remove the coloring matter. Extraction sorbent impregnated with 2,2′-bipyridyl, 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (neocuproine) and Jv-ethylmaleimide removes Fe(ll), Cu(l), and sulfhydryl compounds, respectively. The procedure was applied to highly colored multivitamin pharmaceuticals, soft drinks, and fruit and vegetable juices. In contrast to the results from the original method, which is not applicable to such samples, the results obtained by the method incorporating cleanup were accurate and selective for ascorbic acid. The sample cleanup also permitted determination of dehydroascorbic acid by reducing it to ascorbic acid with cysteine and titrating the ascorbic acid formed with indophenol. As little as 3 μg ascorbic acid was determined by the method incorporating cleanup.

Magnetic nanoparticles coated with zwitterionic poly(ionic liquid)s were applied for dispersive solid-phase extraction of oligonucleotides. The materials were synthesized by miniemulsion copolymerization of ionic liquids and divinylbenzene on magnetic nanoparticles. The functional monomers contain a positively charged imidazolium ring and one of the anionic groups: derivatives of acetate, malonate, or butyl sulfonate ions. Adsorption of unmodified DNA oligonucleotide on obtained materials was possible in ion-exchange (IE) and hydrophilic interactions (HI) mode. The adsorption in IE was possible at low pH and was almost complete. The adsorption in HI mode required the usage of appropriate addition of organic solvent but did not provide full adsorption. Studies on the desorption of the analytes included determining the impact of ammonium acetate concentration and pH and organic solvents addition on the recovery. The material containing acetic fragments as an anionic group was selected for the final procedure with the use of 10 mM ammonium acetate (pH = 9.5)/methanol (50/50, v/v) as an elution solution. The magnetic dispersive solid-phase extraction procedure was tested for the oligonucleotides with various modifications and lengths. Moreover, it was applied to extract DNA oligonucleotide and its synthetic metabolites from enriched human plasma without any pre-purification, with recoveries greater than 80%.

The demand for the recovery of valuable metals and the need to understand the impact of heavy metals in the environment on human and aquatic life has led to the development of new methods for the extraction, recovery, and analysis of metal ions. With special emphasis on environmentally friendly approaches, efforts have been made to consider strategies that minimize the use of organic solvents, apply micromethodology, limit waste, reduce costs, are safe, and utilize benign or reusable materials. This review discusses recent developments in liquid- and solid-phase extraction techniques. Liquid-based methods include advances in the application of aqueous two- and three-phase systems, liquid membranes, and cloud point extraction. Recent progress in exploiting new sorbent materials for solid-phase extraction (SPE), solid-phase microextraction (SPME), and bulk extractions will also be discussed.
