Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A formulation for stabilizing a radiopharmaceutical. The formulation includes a radiopharmaceutical (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof), a gas which has oxygen, a stabilizer, and a solvent.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A formulation for stabilizing a radiopharmaceutical, the formulation comprising: a F-18 labelled radiopharmaceutical, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a F-18 labelled radiopharmaceutical thereof; a gas comprising oxygen; wherein the oxygen is present in the gas in an amount of at least about 10 vol. % by total volume of gas; and where the gas is disposed in a headspace of a vial containing the F-18 labelled radiopharmaceutical or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the F-18 labelled radiopharmaceutical stabilizer, wherein the stabilizer is maleic acid; and an alcohol. 2. The formulation of claim 1 ; further comprising a solvent; wherein water is the solvent. 3. The formulation of claim 1 , further comprising: an inorganic salt. 4. The formulation of claim 1 , where the alcohol is present in an amount of about 1 volume percent to 10 volume percent based on the total volume of liquid.
