Bromination, no-carrier-added radiobromination and simultaneously-occurring chlorination by chloramine T.
Factors regulating initial rates of bromination, no-carrier-added radiobromination and simultaneously-occurring chlorination by chloramine T were studied using a neuroleptic drug spiperone as the substrate. Besides the factors such as initial concentrations of chloramine T, substrate and bromide ions, upon which the rates were dependent in first, second or zero-order, the water-acetic acid composition or the hydrogen ion concentration of the solutions, where the reactions took place, was found to play a key role. By controlling these factors, optimal radiobromination conditions, where radiobromination proceeds effectively whilst simultaneously-occurring chlorination is kept from proceeding at a high rate, thus resulting in radiobrominated radiopharmaceuticals of high specific activity (10 Ci/mumol) and high radiochemical and chemical purity, could be fulfilled.
