Automated radiosynthesis of the Pittsburg compound-B using a commercial synthesizer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The Pittsburgh compound-B ([11C]PIB) is a highly interesting radiotracer for imaging amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease by positron emission tomography (PET). An increasing number of PET centres schedule its transfer for clinical studies and therefore are interested in its automated synthesis. METHOD: With the aim of flexibility, we reported the first fully automated synthesis of [11C]PIB with the coupling of two commercial synthesizers. RESULTS: [11C]PIB was prepared from 2-(4'-aminophenyl)-6-hydroxybenzothiazole by [11C]methyl triflate methylation reacting in an high-performance liquid chromatography loop and resulting in a total radiochemical yield of 13+/-15% after a synthesis time of 25 min. The specific activity of [11C]PIB was 20-60 GBq/micromol and its radiochemical purity is more than 99%. CONCLUSION: The rapid synthesis and the automatic auto-cleaning procedure allow convenient and reproducible [11C]PIB synthesis to be performed during the same day for preclinical or clinical PET scans.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
