A prototype, semi-automated, indigenous solid-target assembly has been developed to produce clinical grade 111InCl3 from natCd targets. Fluka Monte Carlo code was used to estimate the optimum proton energy range for 111Cd(p,n)111In production route and suitable decay time to get high specific-activity of 111In. The radiochemical purification and separation have been optimized using column chromatography separation method. The quality of 111InCl3 has been established by radiolabeling of Pentetreotide yielding 111In-Pentetreotide, in acceptable radiochemical purity (RCP), with expected biological efficacy in in-vitro and in-vivo models. Pre-clinical translation of 111InCl3 in formulation of 111In-Pentetreotide adds support toward its use as a clinical grade radiochemical. |
