Background: Fluorine-18 (F) flumazenil (FMZ) has been synthesized using various precursors, and its role has been explored in imaging Gamma-aminobutyric acid-A receptors.
Aim And Objective: The main objective was to synthesize (F) FMZ using isotopic substitution.
Materials And Methods: Around 18 ± 2 GBq was added to the module, dried, and radiolabeling was standardized with 3.0 mg of the FMZ precursor at various temperatures (110°C -160°C) for 10-30 min. The product was finally eluted with 20% ethanol (in phosphate buffer). The final product was characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The stability was evaluated in water, saline, and phosphate-buffered saline for 4 h.
Results: The radiolabelling efficiency of cartridge-based purification was 16 ± 4% ( = 10) with a radiochemical purity of 96.5 ± 1.8%, whereas in HPLC-based purification, the yield was 10 ± 4% ( = 5) with a radiochemical purity of 97.3 ± 1.4%. The specific activity was 120 ± 20 GBq/μmol.
Conclusions: (F) FMZ was successfully synthesized using an isotopic approach and could be used as an alternative cheaper option for the synthesis.

Focal therapy offers a promising approach for treating localized prostate cancer (PC) with minimal invasiveness and potential cost benefits. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and brachytherapy (BT) are among these options but lack long-term efficacy data. Patient follow-ups typically use biopsies and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), which often miss recurrences.

To consistently determine the anomalous characteristics of phthalic acid crystal (PAC) derivatives, we performed quantum dynamics simulations of the infrared spectral density of the h-PAC and d-PAC isotopomers that show up in the H/D isotopic frequency domain at two different temperatures viz. 77 and 298 K. A theoretical framework explaining the dynamical cooperative interactions within the hydrogen bonds (HBs) in the PAC crystals across a simulation of IR spectral density of the stretching band was developed.

Meteoritic impacts on planetary surfaces deliver a significant amount of energy that can produce prebiotic organic compounds such as cyanides, which may be a key step to the formation of biomolecules. To study the chemical processes of impact-induced organic synthesis, we simulated the physicochemical processes of hypervelocity impacts (HVI) in experiments with both high-speed C projectiles and laser ablation. In the first approach, a C beam was accelerated to collide with ammonium nitrate (NHNO) to reproduce the shock process and plume generation of meteoritic impacts on nitrogen-rich planetary surfaces.
