Objective. This work evaluated the potential of 68Ga-labelledNOTA-ICG (1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid indocyanine green) for liver reserve imaging. Methods. To determine the optimal conditions for generating 68Ga-NOTA-ICG, various reaction parameters were implemented. Quality control analysis was performed using different chromatography techniques. The in vitro and in vivo stability was also measured at specific time points. The radioactivity ratio between n-octanol and water was determined to evaluate the water solubility of 68Ga-NOTA-ICG. The plasma-protein binding rate of the labelled compound was determined by the methanol method. The biodistribution and imaging findings were evaluated in normal animals at different time points after injection. A preliminary imaging evaluation was performed using an animal model of hepatic ischaemia-reperfusion injury, which was confirmed by pathology. Results. 68Ga-NOTA-ICG was prepared with very high radiochemical purity (>98%) by reacting at 90°C for 10 min at pH = 3.5∼4.0, with excellent stability in vivo and in vitro (>95% 3 h postpreparation). The in vitro plasma-protein binding rate of 68Ga-NOTA-ICG was 13.01 ± 0.7%, and it showed strong water solubility log P=−2.01±0.04. We found that in addition to excretion through the biliary tract and intestines, 68Ga-NOTA-ICG can be excreted through the urinary tract. The image quality of 68Ga-NOTA-ICG was very high; imaging agent retained in the area of liver injury could clearly be observed. Conclusion. This is the first report on a 68Ga-labelled NOTA-ICG fragment for liver reserve function studies. This complex has promise as a candidate agent for liver reserve imaging.

High-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) was used for the detection of cyclic hexadepsipeptides roseotoxins produced by Trichothecium roseum. Roseotoxins were found in both submerged standard cultivation on Czapek–Dox medium and in vivo cultivation extract obtained from an apple. Roseotoxin chromatographic profiles from these two experiments were compared. Product-ion collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra obtained on an ion trap (electrospray ionisation, ESI) were used for the identification of natural roseotoxins A, B, C and of minor destruxins A and B. The dissociation behavior of roseotoxins is discussed in terms of a fragmentation scheme proposed for describing the dissociation pathways of cyclic peptides. This scheme involves opening of the cyclopeptide ring via formation of oxazolone derivatives and fragmentation of the resulting linear species, which have a free N-terminus and an oxazolone ring at the C-terminus. Some aspects of this fragmentation scheme are underlined by modeling the dissociation channels of roseotoxin A using quantum chemical calculations. The structures of roseotoxin A and destruxin B were verified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Structures of three new minor natural roseotoxins [Val4]RosA, [MeLxx4]RosA and [MeLxx4]RosB were deduced by ion cyclotron resonance Fourier transform mass spectrometry (ICR-FT-MS) and ion trap tandem mass spectrometry by examining the pre-separated roseotoxin fraction.
