development of 15O-labeling strategies. Both radionuclides have short half-lives, result­ing in three main inconveniences: (i) their use is restricted to organizations with access to a cyclotron; (ii) rapid and ecient methods must be applied to the preparation of radio­tracers to minimize radioactivity loss; and (iii) only fast processes can be investigated, because the time window for image acquisition is short.
That said, the stable isotopes of nitrogen and oxygen are present in the majority of
biologically active molecules. Hence, a wide range of molecules can potentially be labeled
13
with
N or 15O. Additionally, the short half-life enables repeated experiments within
the same individual. These facts, combined with the development of smaller/cheaper cyclotrons, may facilitate the incorporation of these radionuclides into the toolbox of PET chemists. New strategies would help tackle the preparation of multi-radioisotope­labeled tracers as the driving force for the investigation of biologica processes, providing crucial information on metabolism, mechanisms of diseases, and more.

7.1 INTRODUCTION

7.1.1 History
In 1934, Lauritsen etal. found that when boron oxide was irradiated with deuterons, a radionuclide with a half-life of 20 minutes was formed[1]. This was subsequently identi­ed as carbon-11, formed by the
11
[
C]CO2 and [11C]CO[2]. In 1939, the 14N(p,α)11C reaction was rst described by Barkas[3], whereby high-energy cyclotron-produced protons were bombarded on a nitrogen-14 target to produce carbon-11. Eighty years on, this remains the most common method of producing the world.
Carbon-11 decays into stable boron-11 and has a physical half-life of 20.4minutes. Decay occurs primarily (99.8%) by positron emission, with the emitted positron having a mean energy of 0.386 MeV and a mean range of 1.2 mm in water[4]. The remaining decay (0.2%) occurs by electron capture. The utility of tion is immediately obvious–the ubiquitous nature of carbon in biologically relevant mol­ecules allows for a radioactive analogue (isotopologue) to be produced by substitution of a stable

1939, in which [11C]CO2 was converted to potassium [11C]oxalate[5]. Later that year, Ruben etal. reported the rst biological application of ing photosynthesis[6]. The rst human experiments with Tobias etal. with a study on [

The availability of carbon-14 (half-life 5730 years) after World War II precipitated a downturn in research activities with cyclotrons in the 1960s and PET in the late 1970s has driven

C radiochemistry and notable advances since the publication of the previous edition of Handbook of Radiopharmaceuti­cals in 2003[9].
7.1.2 Synthetic Considerations
In addition to the usual synthetic considerations, incorporation of cyclotron-derived 11C into the molecule of interest is complicated by the inherent challenges of working with radioactivity: i.e. need for shielding and automation, time restrictions, and small scale of radiolabelling reactions with short-lived radionuclides. For a typical production of a
11
C-labelled PET tracer for clinical use, the radiosynthesis, purication, and quality con­trol must be complete within approximately three half-lives (~1 hour) to have sucient radioactivity in the nal dose for a successful PET scan. In practice, this restricts the
