Abstract<br />

Different chemical strategies have been employed <strong>for</strong> labelling biotin using <strong>188</strong> Re with<br />

the aim to develop a sterile <strong>and</strong> pyrogen free kit <strong>for</strong>mulation that is suitable <strong>for</strong> clinical use.<br />

A number of biotin conjugated <strong>188</strong> Re complexes were prepared <strong>and</strong> evaluated to determine their<br />

affinity <strong>for</strong> avidin. The most difficult challenge was to devise an efficient reaction pathway<br />

that was able to obtain the final radiocompounds in a high radiochemical yield. This work<br />

describes the molecular design <strong>and</strong> the chemical strategy that were followed to obtain reliable<br />

preparation of the new radiopharmaceuticals starting from generator produced [ <strong>188</strong> ReO 4 ] – .
