Abstract
A method for labelling acamprosate (calcium N‐acetyl homotaurinate), an anti‐craving compound for ethanol, with ^11^C, has been developed for in vivo studies with positron emission tomography (PET). The synthesis was based on the acylation of homotaurinate using [^11^C]acetyl chloride as the labelling agent. Reversed‐phase HPLC in highly aqueous mobile phase conditions was used for product purification. The radiochemical yield achieved was about 1.14 GBq (31 mCi) with a specific radioactivity of 8.14 GBq/µmol (220 mCi/µmol). For the identification of ^11^C‐radioactivity and determination of specific radioactivities, HPLC and ^1^H‐NMR were used. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
