Preparation method of carrier-free 90YCl3 solution
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical isotope preparation, in particular to a preparation method of a carrier-free 90YCl3 solution.
Background
Yttrium-90 (90 Y) is an important medical isotope, has short half-life (64.1 h), emits high-energy pure beta rays (up to 2.27MeV, average 0.938 MeV), has short tissue penetration distance (average range in tissue of 2.5mm, maximum range of 10.3 mm), has stable and nontoxic decay daughter 90 Zr, has good chelating chemical property and the like, and is the preferred isotope for clinically treating large-volume tumors. The carrier-free yttrium trichloride-90 (90YCl3) solution is an important raw material for preparing radiopharmaceuticals and products such as 90 Y microspheres, 90 Y labeled monoclonal antibodies, 90 Y labeled polypeptides and the like, and has wide market application prospect. The main method for obtaining the carrier-free 90YCl3 is to extract 90 Y from 90Sr-90 Y equilibrium solution, namely 90Sr-90 Y mother liquor, periodically and repeatedly by utilizing the principle of 90Sr-90 Y decay equilibrium and the difference of chemical properties of two nuclides. since 90 Sr is a strong bone-philic and highly toxic nuclide, the key of the medicinal 90YCl3 is to reduce the content of 90 Sr to below 2X 10 -5Bq/Bq 90 Y, reduce the content of Fe 3+ and other metal ions which compete with 90Y3+ for coordination, and the like (group standard T/CIRA 55-2023 yttrium trichloride [ 90 Y ] solution). Currently, methods for strontium-yttrium separation mainly include solvent extraction, electrodeposition, precipitation, column chromatography, and the like.
In 1990, the national laboratory on oak-ridge reported for the first time that 90 Y was extracted from 90Sr-90 Y mother liquor using di- (2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (HDEHP)/n-dodecane as extractant to effect separation of strontium and yttrium, and finally separated curie grade 90 Y product (Applied Radiation Isotopes,1990,41,861) by washing, back extraction, etc., which subsequently optimized the flow and filed US patent No. 5512256. Although the method can obtain a large amount of high-purity 90 Y, the defects of accumulated extractant radiation decomposition products, large amount of radioactive waste liquid, complicated operations of purifying 90 Y by combining an ion exchange resin column, evaporating concentrated acid and the like exist in the 90 Sr raw material, and the application range of the method is limited.
In 2003, the university of Qinghua reported an electrodeposition method for separating 90 Y from 90Sr-90 Y mother liquor, 90 Y was deposited on a cathode platinum electrode to achieve strontium-yttrium separation (patent CN1455023 a), and then, the content of 90 Sr in 90 Y (isotope, 2007,20,159;Nuclear Medicine and Biology,2008,35,245;CN117702190A) was reduced by two electrodeposition at the university of Qinghua, the indian baba atomic research center, the high-pass homoleptin limited company of chengdou, etc., but the method still had the problems that the mother liquor reuse needs to be adjusted in pH, the electrodeposition rate of 90 Y is low, the electrolysis process is difficult to control, mass production is impossible, etc.
In 2001, U.S. patent publication reports a method of purifying 90 Y using a Y-selective extraction resin column after separating strontium and yttrium by precipitation 90 Sr with concentrated nitric acid, and then the method applies for China patent (CN 1429391A), similarly, in 2006, U.S. patent (US 7517508B 2) reports a method of removing trace 90 Sr, zr, etc. in 90 Y using ion exchange resin after precipitating 90 Sr with concentrated nitric acid. The precipitation method is complicated in operation, and often requires the addition of a non-radioactive carrier, further purification by combining with column chromatography, and the like.
In 1992, the national laboratory of the US archery reported column chromatography for the preparation of 90 Y of high chemical and radiochemical purity, passing 90Sr-90 Y mother liquor through a three-stage Sr-selective chromatography column to effect strontium yttrium separation, and then passing 90 Y-containing stream through a first-stage Y-selective chromatography column to effect purification of 90 Y (Applied Radiation Isotopes,1992,43,1093), followed by the method being filed for US patent No. 5368736. There are patent and literature reports (CN 105478097a; journal of Chromatography A,2011,1218,6483) that resins containing crown ether (4 ',4 "(5") -di-tert-butyldicyclohexyl and 18-crown-6) or TODGA (N, N' -tetraoctyl-3-oxa-glutaramide) can be used for strontium yttrium separation, but the amount of 90 Sr contamination in the final 90 Y product is high and does not meet the pharmaceutical requirements.
Although column chromatography has the advantages of simple operation and less radioactive waste liquid, the existing method has the defects of multi-stage (> 3) chromatographic column combination, acid regulation by evaporation between chromatographic columns, no 90YCl3 form of 90 Y at last, complex treatment by 90 Sr multiplexing and the like.
