✦ Synopsis

Pyruvate-1-11C was prepared enzymatically by the exchange reaction of 11CO2 with the carboxyl group of pyruvic acid using pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase from Clostridium butyricum. 11C-Labeled pyruvate was purified by sublimation in specially made glassware. The radiochemical yield of pure pyruvate-1-11C was 80% 35 min after the end of bombardment. The distribution of 11C in tumor-bearing rabbits after an i.v. injection of pyruvate-1-11C was observed using a gamma camera. In contrast to normal organs, the tumor was positively visualized. We also conducted a number of successful clinical studies. A case of brain tumor which exhibited a positive image on positron-emission tomography (PET) using pyruvate-1-11C is presented.

11C-methylated inulin, supposedly useful for imaging of brain edema and pulmonary edema, was prepared using cyclotron produced 11CO2. The synthesis consists of the production of 11C-methyl iodide and its coupling with inulin alkoxide sodium in dimethylsulfoxide as solvent. 11C labeled inulin was pur

## Abstract Three methods are described for labeling methanesulfonyl (mesyl) chloride with no‐carrier‐added (NCA) carbon‐11 (__t__~1/2~=20.4 min; Ξ²^+^=99.8%) to provide a new labeling agent of potential value in radiopharmaceutical development for positron emission tomography (PET). Each method use
