Methionine 이성질체들의 $^{99m}Tc$ 착물 제조 연구

Studies on Preparation of $^{99m}Tc$ Complexes of Methionine Isomers

$^{99m}Tc-Methionine$ complexes from enantiomeric and racemic methionines were prepared controlling reaction parameters such as pH and the concentration of stannous chloride. Some radiochromato-graphic systems were also examined to determine the labelling yields of $^{99m}Tc$ complexes. The best resolutions of $^{99m}Tc$ complexes were obtained at ITLC-SA developed with acetone and paper chromatography with n-butanol saturated with 0.3N HCI. In the former system, $HR-{99m}Tc$ and $^{99m}Tc-methionine$ complex remained at origin, while $^{99m}TcO_4^-$ moved with Rf value of 1.0. In latter process, $HR-^{99m}Tc$ stayed at the origin, while $^{99m}TcO_4^-\;and\;^{99m}Tc-methionine$ complexes moved with Rf value of 0.5. By combining of two chromatographic systems, the contents of three $^{99m}Tc$ species were calculated easily. $^{99m}Tc$ Labelling from enantiomeric and racemic methionines had little differences and the optimal condition was found at pH 9.00 and the molar ratio of methionine to stannous chloride of 24:1. The yields of $^{99m}Tc$ complexes from D-, L-, and DL-methionines were 87.6%, 94.1%, and 97.9%, respectively. The results indicated that methionine containing relatively hydrophobic methylthio group $(-SCH_3)$ would be labelled with $^{99m}Tc$ by stannous chloride method.
