of carrier ammonia and aluminum/mercuric chloride as the reducing agent[48]. Overall
radiochemical yields around 3.5% could be obtained; however, the molar activity of the
nal tracer was low (c. 300 MBq mmol
−1
) due to the presence of the carrier, which was
required to prevent the formation of the secondary amine, because under no-carrier-
added conditions the primary
13
N-labeled amine competes with [13N]NH3 to react with the
carbonyl compound.
Alternatively, amines can also be produced by Hofmann rearrangement. For example,
13
N-labeled β-phenethylamine was prepared by the reaction of phenylpropionyl chloride
with an aqueous solution containing [
to yield, initially, [
13
N]phenylpropionamide, which in the presence of sodium hypobromide
13
N]NH3, carrier ammonia, and sodium hydroxide[49]
underwent rearrangement to produce the corresponding amine (Scheme6.1b). When
the reaction was carried out in the absence of the carrier ammonia, yields dramatically
decreased from 50% to 5%, since the appropriate molar ratio of sodium hypobromite/
amide, which is essential for obtaining good yields, is dicult to achieve under no-carrieradded conditions. High specic activity values under no-carrier-added conditions can be
obtained by using an alternative strategy based on the reduction of the corresponding
13
N-labeled amide (Scheme6.1c). In the rst step, phenylacetyl chloride was reacted with
13
[
N]NH3 to yield the corresponding amide, which was reduced in the presence of lithium
aluminum hydride to yield the corresponding amine with a good radiochemical yield (60–
70%) even without the addition of a carrier[50]. The main disadvantage of this method is
that the reaction needs to be conducted in LiAlH
-compatible solvents and under an inert
4
atmosphere.
The third reaction that has been applied to the preparation of
13
N-labeled amines is
aminolysis, by replacement of a halogen atom by ammonia. This method was applied to
the synthesis of
13
N-labeled adenosine starting from two dierent substrates: 6-chloro9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine and 6-uoro-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine (Scheme6.1d). The
reaction resulted in good yields in the presence of carrier ammonia (close to 25% for the
uoro derivative under optimal conditions), while the yields were slightly lower (around
10%) in no-carrier-added conditions. In the latter, the addition of NaOH was required to
maintain a basic pH, while the addition of a base was not necessary under carried-added
conditions, where the concentration of ammonia was sucient to keep appropriate
pH values.
Finally, the preparation of
tion of organoboranes[51]. Experimentally, [
13
N-labeled alkylamines has also been achieved by amina-
13
N]NH3, produced by proton irradiation followed by reduction with Devarda’s alloy, was distilled into a solution of tetrahydrofuran
(THF) containing the corresponding tri-n-alkylborane, which was prepared by reaction of
the corresponding terminal alkene with borane/THF solution (Scheme6.1e). This was followed by the addition of carrier ammonia and sodium hypochlorite. The formation of the
amine, which presumably proceeds via the in situ formation of chloramine, oered good
yields (40–60%) in an overall time of 25–30 minutes, and the mild reaction conditions
allowed the extrapolation of the method to functionalized amines such as γ-aminobutyric
acid[52]. This method was later optimized by using polymeric borane reagents, which
facilitated the purication of the amines[53, 54].

following a similar approach, to the preparation of S-nitrosoglutathione[55], although
in this case the nitrosation reaction was conducted in a vial, and later to the preparation
of a small library of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic
13
N-labeled nitrosothiols in a fully
automated process that included reactions in solid phase and purication using highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC)[41]. Decay-corrected radiochemical yields
in the range 33.8–60.6% were reported, with molar activity values above 5 GBq μmol
and overall preparation times <13 minutes. The preparation of [
13
N]nitrosothiols was later

assayed under microuidic conditions[37]. Radiochemical purities (so-called radiochem-
ical conversion in the original publication, as they were determined from chromatographic
proles) clearly exceeding those obtained in solid-phase reactions could be achieved
in three out of ve cases (compounds 2–4; see Table6.2), while equivalent results were
obtained for compounds 1 and 5.
6.1.7
The synthesis of 13N-labeled nitrosamines was also rst reported in 1995[44], following

Vallejo etal. reproduced the experimental conditions to perform the
reaction with dierent secondary amines, but the formation of the labeled nitrosamines could not be observed[40]. The authors postulated that the lack of reactivity
was due to the low nucleophilicity of the secondary amines, especially under acidic conditions. Good radiochemical yields could be achieved by the previous activation using

In the rst study that reported this synthesis method[39], the formation of the
13
N-labeled diazonium salt was carried out in an anionic exchange resin-lled cartridge,
while the subsequent reaction for the formation of the labeled azo compound was carried out in a vial. Chromatographic purities (so-called radiochemical conversion, or RCC,
in the original publication) in the range 40.0–58.3%, overall non-decay-corrected radiochemical yields in the range 7.7–19.1%, and molar activity values close to 5 GBq μmol
−1
were obtained in an overall synthesis time of 13–16 minutes, including purication.
The reaction was later assayed under microuidic conditions[37], resulting in slightly
improved chromatographic purities (49.3–93.9%), although in this case, radiochemical
yields after purication and specic activity values were not reported.
Selected
13
N-labeled azo compounds were evaluated as β-amyloid markers in a mouse
model of Alzheimer’s disease[38]. One of the compounds assayed showed increased
binding potential values in the cortex of Tg2576 animals when compared with agematched littermates.

one-minute hydrolysis with 1 M HCl solution, the labeled aspargine was puried by cation
exchange. Unfortunately, no yields were reported in this study. Another example is the
preparation of a γ-amino acid, reported by Kabalka etal., although a completely dierent
approach was used in this case (see Section6.1.5)[52].

Biocatalysis, although surprisingly underutilized in radiochemistry, constitutes a pow-
erful tool for organic chemistry. The excellence of enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions
lies in their exquisite chemical selectivity and high turnover numbers. Due to the tightly
regulated cell metabolism, enzymes have evolved to work under rather low substrate
concentrations with high eciency. This substrate-limiting situation resembles the conditions in radiochemical reactions, where the concentration of the radioactive precursors is
extremely low.
The enzymatic synthesis of amino acids labeled with nitrogen-13 is a paradigmatic
example of the success of biocatalysis in radiochemistry. A battery of
acids have been enzymatically produced using ammonia ([

acid dehydrogenase (usually glutamate dehydrogenase) that catalyzes the reductive
amination of α-ketoglutarate to produce L-[
13
N]glutamate, which is concurrently used by
a transaminase that transfers the radiolabeled amine group to the target α-ketoacid to
form the desired L-[
13
N]-amino acid[58, 64].
These biosynthetic strategies have often been performed with soluble enzymes, which
may turn into a potential source of pyrogenic proteins; the presence of such contaminants consequently requires a time-consuming purication process[65]. This problem
is smartly solved by immobilizing the enzymes on solid carriers through covalent and
irreversible bonds that avoid protein lixiviation. Several immobilized enzymes, including
multi-enzyme systems, have been successfully applied to the heterogeneous synthesis
13
of
N-labeled glutamine, glutamate, asparagine, citrulline, aspartate, alanine, serine,
and glycine[57–59, 62–64, 66]. These amino acids have been obtained with dierent
radiochemical yields, ranging from 10% for L-[
thetase[67] to 70% for L-[
tamate dehydrogenase is very versatile since it is able to synthesize a plethora of L-[
13
N]glutamate using a glutamate dehydrogenase[59]. The glu-
13

13
N]
amino acids beyond glutamate[57, 66]. Some of these enzymatically synthesized amino
acids were tested for in vivo studies (both in animals and in humans) to assess their biodistribution and metabolism[59, 66]. In 1983, Lambrecht etal.[68] synthesized L-[
13
N]
glutamate through a semi-automatic approach. To this end, the authors used a glutamate
dehydrogenase immobilized on porous glass beads for a short time (10 minutes). As a
result, this system yielded the labeled amino acid with high purity and high molar activity
(1.11 GBq μmol
13
β-[
N]aminobutyric acid ([13N]GABA)[69]. Finally, the system was fully automatized to
yield pure L-[
−1
). Later on, the same group expanded this methodology to manufacture
13
N]glutamate[61].
122 Handbook of Radiopharmaceuticals
In the past ve years, a fruitful collaboration between biotechnologists and radiochemists has materialized for the construction of more ecient biocatalytic systems
to synthesize L-[
13
N]-amino acids in one pot through only one enzymatic step. Herein,
L-alanine dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis catalyzed the non-carrier-added syn-
thesis of L-[
α-ketoacids and using NADH as the redox cofactor and [
13
N]alanine, [13N]glycine, and L-[13N]serine, starting from their corresponding
13
N]NH3 as the amine source[60].
This one-pot methodology shows superior performance compared with other enzymatic
methods previously published[64], since it enables the preparation of up to three dierent enantiomerically pure L-[
13
N]amino acids with chromatographic yields >98% in only
15 minutes. This setup enabled the manufacturing of sucient amounts of dierent
radiolabeled amino acids to perform in vivo studies in small rodents. Following this study,
L-amino acid dehydrogenase was immobilized on dierent carriers and through dierent chemistries to search for the optimal immobilization protocol that maximizes both
activity and stability of the nal heterogeneous biocatalysts. These immobilized biocatalysts eciently operated ve separate batches with chromatographic yields of L-[
13
N]
alanine >95%.
One of the limitations of this system is the necessity of an exogenous cofactor, which
is usually added in large excess in the reaction mixture. In situ recycling of the cofactor
is therefore mandatory to enhance the purity of the radiotracers and the eciency of
the radiochemical reaction. With a formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Candida boidinii
added to the reaction tube, NADH was in situ recycled, allowing a 50-fold decrease in the
cofactor concentration without compromising radiochemical yields.
Besides amino acids, [13N]NH3 has been incorporated into other biological molecules
by means of carbamyl phosphate synthase and carbamoyl transferases. Following this
scheme, Gelbard etal. co-immobilized carbamyl phosphate synthetase with either aspar-
−
N]NO
, which, as men-
2
13
N]carbamyl phos-
tate transcarbamylase or ornithine transcarbamylase to synthesize [
phate, L-[ω-
sequence, the carbamyl phosphate synthetase uses [
13
N]citrulline, and [carbamyl-13N]-l-aspartate[58]. In this multi-enzymatic
13
N]NH3 as the ammonia source,
carbamic acid as substrate, and ATP as the cofactor to synthesize radiolabeled carbamyl
phosphate, whose carbamyl group is concurrently transferred to either ornithine or the
aspartate using the corresponding transcarbamylase to achieve the corresponding car-
bamylated amino acid. These amino acid derivatives were obtained with moderate radiochemical yields of around 15%.
Biocatalysis has also been applied to the preparation of [
13
tioned in other sections, has been employed in the preparation of nitrosothiols[41, 44,
55], nitrosamines[40, 44], azo derivatives[38, 39], triazoles[70], and tetrazoles[43] (for

Nanoparticles (NPs) have recently emerged as key tools in a wide range of applications. This has raised serious concerns about their potential toxicological eects after
administration to or incorporation into living organisms. Incorporation of a positron
emitter into the NP structure followed by in vivo imaging has been postulated as a suit-
able imaging tool for the evaluation of the biodistribution pattern and biological fate of
dierent types of NPs. In a pioneering study, Pérez-Campaña etal. reported the radiolabeling of Al
nanoparticles by proton irradiation to induce in situ the 16O(p,α)13N nuclear
2O3
reaction. Despite the short half-life of the radionuclide, this approach provided valuable
information about the biodistribution of NPs with dierent sizes after intravenous
administration in rodents[71].
