Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radioactive biomedicine technology, specifically relating to a cassette-type synthesis apparatus and method for preparing radionuclide-labeled drugs. Background Technology
[0002] Radioactive particulate matter can play an important role in disease treatment. For example, yttrium-90 (… 90 Yttrium-labeled resin microspheres (SIR-Spheres®, average microsphere diameter 20–60 μm) and glass microspheres (TheraSphere®, average microsphere diameter 20–30 μm) are clinically used for interventional radiotherapy of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma or metastatic liver cancer. 90 Y] Microspheres are injected into the blood supply arteries of liver tumors via interventional surgery, where they can block the tumor's capillaries. 90 Y emits high-energy beta rays to kill cancer cells at close range, with almost no effect on normal tissues. Therefore, it has the effect of reducing tumor volume, downstaging, and transforming mid-to-late stage liver cancer.
[0003] Colloids containing therapeutic beta radionuclides, such as yttrium-90, samarium-153, rhenium-186, phosphorus-32, dysprosium-165, erbium-169, and holmium-166, can be used for radiation-induced synovectomy. This is a minimally invasive technique that uses radionuclides to treat synovial inflammation. After the radioactive colloid is injected into the joint cavity, the emitted high-energy beta rays can directly kill inflamed synovial cells, inhibit angiogenesis, and promote synovial fibrosis and atrophy, thereby eliminating diseased synovial tissue without damaging normal joint structures. It is mainly used to treat refractory synovitis such as rheumatoid arthritis and hemophilic arthritis. To prevent leakage of the colloid from the joint through lymphatic drainage, the appropriate particle size of the radioactive colloid is 2–10 micrometers.
[0004] Technetium-99m ( 99m Tc-labeled thermoplastic red blood cells can be used for spleen imaging, including detecting ectopic spleens and assessing spleen function. In addition, live cell therapy has developed rapidly in recent years. This therapy uses the body's own live cells or modified live cells to treat diseases, showing significant therapeutic effects on many intractable diseases such as cancer, severe infections, and autoimmune diseases. Numerous live cell-based clinical trials have been conducted internationally, and various live cell preparations have been approved for marketing. However, it is difficult to assess the pharmacokinetic parameters of therapeutic live cells in vivo using traditional drug analysis techniques. The radionuclide labeling and nuclear medicine imaging techniques developed in recent years provide an advanced non-invasive method for tracking the distribution and pharmacokinetic properties of live cell drugs in vivo. For example, radioactive metal nuclides, such as zirconium-89 (Zrconium-89), can be used to label live cell drugs. 89 The chelate formed by the reaction of Zr with 8-hydroxyquinoline (Oxine)89 Zr-Oxine can effectively label live cells under mild conditions, which can then be used for nuclear medicine imaging. Some radionuclide-labeled live cell preparations have already been used in human clinical trials.
[0005] In the history of radiopharmaceutical development, manual preparation once played a crucial role. However, manual preparation exposes operators to radiation, and product quality is easily affected by human factors. Automated synthesis technology can significantly reduce the ionizing radiation dose received by operators, facilitate standardized production processes, and improve production efficiency. Therefore, automated radiopharmaceutical production technology has seen significant development and widespread application in recent years. Currently, most automated radiopharmaceutical preparation devices use cassette-type synthesis units. The cassettes used in cassette-type synthesis units are disposable consumables, allowing for simple and quick replacement, avoiding cross-contamination during automated preparation, and ensuring the safety and quality requirements of automated radiopharmaceutical preparation.
[0006] Centrifugation is a crucial separation and purification technique in the preparation of radionuclide-labeled microparticles and cells. However, existing cassette-type radiopharmaceutical synthesis devices generally lack structural components with centrifugation capabilities for microparticle or cell purification. The preparation of microparticle-based radiopharmaceuticals and radiolabeled cell preparations still primarily relies on manual operation. This production model carries a significant risk of product contamination and struggles to meet Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requirements, severely impacting the research, development, and clinical application of radiopharmaceuticals and cell-based drugs.

The rotating disk 312 drives the centrifugation tube 321 and the sealing plug 323 to rotate around the vertical line of the center of the upper half of the centrifugation tube 321, so that the particulate matter or cells in the radionuclide-labeled drug stock solution gather at the bottom end of the inclined part of the centrifugation tube 321. In some possible embodiments, the driving force of the centrifugation control unit 31 is provided by the centrifugation control unit, which sets the automated process parameters according to actual operational needs, and automatically centrifuges the radionuclide-labeled drug stock solution to obtain the radionuclide-labeled drug.
