Gamma radiation effects on AG MP-50 cation exchange resin and sulfonated activated carbon for bismuth-213 separation. RSC Adv 2023; 13:30990-31001.

Abstract
Medical 225Ac/213Bi radionuclide generators are designed to provide a local supply of the short-lived 213Bi for cancer treatment. However, radiation-induced damage to the sorbents commonly used in such radionuclide generators remains a major concern. In this study, the effects of gamma radiation on AG MP-50 cation exchange resin and sulfonated activated carbon (SAC) were studied by analyzing the changes in the morphological characteristics, functional groups, and the La3+/Bi3+ sorption performance, with La3+ being a suitable non-radioactive substitute for Ac3+. The surface sulfonic acid groups of AG MP-50 resin suffered from severe radiation-induced degradation, while the particle morphology was changed markedly after being exposed to absorbed doses of approximately 11 MGy. As a result, the sorption performance of irradiated AG MP-50 for La3+ and Bi3+ was significantly decreased with increasing absorbed doses. In contrast, no apparent changes in acquired morphological characteristics were observed for pristine and irradiated SAC based on SEM and XRD characterization. The surface oxygen content (e.g., O-C[double bond, length as m-dash]O) of irradiated SAC increased for an absorbed dose of 11 MGy due to free radical-induced oxidation. The sorption performance of pristine and irradiated SAC materials for La3+ and Bi3+ remained generally the same at pH values of 1 and 2. Furthermore, the applicability of AG MP-50 and SAC in the 225Ac/213Bi generators was illustrated in terms of their radiolytic stability. This study provides further evidence for the practical implementation of both AG MP-50 and SAC in 225Ac/213Bi radionuclide generators.

Abstract
Mesoporous gamma-alumina (MGA) was synthesized for neutron-activated 99Mo adsorbent. Acid functionalization of the MGA was carried out to enhance the Mo adsorption capacity and the 99Mo breakthrough profile. The acid-treated MGA has a more positive particle charge, rougher surface, smaller particle and pore size, larger surface area, and wider pore distance. The acid-treated MGA has a Mo adsorption capacity of 82.8 ± 6.3 mg Mo/g and resulted in 99mTc eluate with the 99Mo breakthrough at the acceptable level.

Abstract
Abstract
In an effort towards affordable availability of chromatographic 188W/188Re generators for widespread clinical use, we report the mechanochemical synthesis of mesoporous alumina as an advanced sorbent material for preparation of the generator. The synthesized material exhibits remarkably high sorption capacity (550 ± 12 mg W/g), which is adequate for preparation of clinical-scale generators using low specific activity (LSA) 188W produced in medium flux research reactors. Sorption of 188W in mesoporous alumina follows Freundlich adsorption isotherm and pseudo second order kinetics, indicating that the process is chemisorption. A clinical-scale (~ 14.0 GBq) 188W/188Re generator was developed and its performance was evaluated over a period of 6 months. Rhenium-188 could be consistently obtained from the generator with high yield (> 80%) and it met all the requirements for clinical use. The present strategy is expected to increase the scope of separation chemistry for availing clinical-grade 188Re for the benefit of millions of cancer patients world over.

Abstract
In order to determine the potential of 177mLu/177Lu radionuclide generator in 177Lu production it is important to establish the technical needs that can lead to a clinically acceptable 177Lu product quality. In this work, a model that includes all the processes and the parameters affecting the performance of the 177mLu/177Lu radionuclide generator has been developed. The model has been based on the use of a ligand to complex 177mLu ions, followed by the separation of the freed 177Lu ions. The dissociation kinetics of the Lu-ligand complex has been found to be the most crucial aspect governing the specific activity and 177mLu content of the produced 177Lu. The dissociation rate constants lower than 1*10-11 s-1 would be required to lead to onsite 177Lu production with specific activity close to theoretical maximum of 4.1 TBq 177Lu/mg Lu and with 177mLu content of less than 0.01%. Lastly, the calculations suggest that more than one patient dose per week can be supplied for a period of up to 7 months on starting with the 177mLu produced using 3 g Lu2O3 target with 60% 176Lu enrichment. The requirements of the starting 177mLu activity production needs to be adapted depending on the required patient doses, and the technical specifications of the involved 177mLu-177Lu separation process.

Abstract
The production of novel radionuclides is the first step towards the development of new effective radiopharmaceuticals, and the quality thereof directly affects the preclinical and clinical phases. In this review, novel radiometal production for medical applications is briefly elucidated. The production status of the imaging nuclide 44Sc and the therapeutic β--emitter nuclide 161Tb are compared to their more established counterparts, 68Ga and 177Lu according to their targetry, irradiation process, radiochemistry, and quality control aspects. The detailed discussion of these significant issues will help towards the future introduction of these promising radionuclides into drug manufacture for clinical application under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

Abstract
The present article reports the synthesis and characterization of mesoporous tin oxide (MTO) nanoparticles by a solid-state mechanochemical route. The synthesized material was used as an advanced sorbent material for (68)Ge/(68)Ga radionuclide generator technology. Gallium-68 (t½ = 68 min) obtained from the (68)Ge/(68)Ga generator is an important diagnostic radioisotope which holds tremendous potential in the non-invasive monitoring of various diseases, including cancer, using positron emission tomography (PET). The crystallite size of the MTO nanoparticles was in the range of 6-12 nm with a large surface area of 265 ± 16 m(2) g(-1), while the mean pore radius was found to be 2.1 ± 0.6 nm. Determination of the zeta-potential of the MTO nanoparticles dispersed in solutions at different pH values aided in understanding the sorption and separation mechanisms, which were based on the surface charge developed on the nanosorbent. The sorption capacity observed under column-flow conditions was 85 ± 5 mg Ge per g of nanosorbent. A clinical-scale (68)Ge/(68)Ga generator (740 MBq) was developed using this nanosorbent. Gallium-68 could be regularly eluted from this generator over a prolonged period of 1 year with >70% elution yield and met all the requirements for clinical use. The suitability of (68)Ga obtained from it was evaluated in preclinical settings by the preparation of a (68)Ga-labeled peptide containing the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) motif. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the synthesis of MTO nanoparticles by a mechanochemical route which could be effectively utilized for the routine preparation of clinical-scale (68)Ge/(68)Ga generators. The promising results obtained in this study would facilitate greater implementation of mechanochemistry for the synthesis of nanosorbents for radionuclide generator technology since this method is simple, economical and convenient.
