Abstract 18F, with a half-life of 110 min, is the most widely used radionuclide for PET imaging. A significant impediment to this traditional application of 18F, however, is the requirement for tedious coupling of the radionuclide to a carbon atom on the targeting agent. Al-18F radiofluorination has recently been developed as an alternative method for facile radiolabeling; however, the harsh conditions required for Al-18F complexation have restricted the widespread application of this technique to heat-sensitive biomolecules. In this work, we examine the efficiency of Al-18F chelation by a variety of available macrocyclic chelators. Additionally, we optimized the radiolabeling conditions to achieve radiolabeling at ambient temperatures and reduce the reaction time to 2 min.
