We have established a method for nucleophilic one-pot, two-step radiosynthesis of the popular opioid receptor radioligand 6-O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-6-O-desmethyl-diprenorphine ([18F]FE-DPN) from the novel precursor 6-O-(2-tosyloxyethyl)-6-O-desmethyl- 3-O-trityl-diprenorphine (TE-TDDPN), which we designate as the Henriksen precursor. We undertook an optimization of the synthesis conditions, aiming to enhance the accessibility of [18F]FE-DPN for positron emission tomography (PET) studies of μ-opioid receptors. Herein, we report an optimized direct nucleophilic 18F-fluorination and the deprotection conditions for a fully automated radiosynthesis of [18F]FE-DPN on a modified GE Tracerlab FX FE synthesis panel. Starting from 1-1.5 GBq of [18F]fluoride and applying an Oasis Max 1cc cartridge for fluorine-18 trapping with a reduced amount of K2CO3 (5.06 μmol K+ ion), [18F]FE-DPN ([18F]11) was produced with 44.5 ± 10.6 RCY (decay-corrected), high radiochemical purity (>99%), and a molar activity of 32.2 ± 11.8 GBq/μmol in 60-65 min.
