- Synthesis of 5-radiohalo-2'-deoxyuridine
-
Method of synthesizing 5-radio-halogenated-2'-deoxyuridine from 5-trimethylstannyl-2'-deoxyuridine is described. The method consists of the steps of mixing 5-trimethylstannyl-2'-deoxyuridine with an aqueous solution consisting of a radiohalide and NaOH to form a first mixture, adding H2 O2 /CH3 COOH to the first mixture to form a second mixture, sonicating the second mixture, evaporating the solvent from the second mixture to form a residue, reconstituting the residue, filtering the residue; and then purifying the filtered residue such that at least one of a radiohalogenated nucleoside and nucleotide is obtained. A kit consisting of the components required for the above synthesis is also described.
