Abstract

A method for the preparation of iodine-123IBZM, a central nervous system D-2 imaging agent, is reported. By using a rapid filtration technique to remove the unreacted iodide, the preparation can be completed in less than 20 min (overall yield greater than 60%). The product, with high purity (greater than or equal to 95%) and specific activity, is suitable for human use.
