An Improved Method for the Production of Ac-225/Bi-213 from Th-229 for Targeted Alpha Therapy.
Abstract
This work describes an improved method for radium/actinium separation as part of a process for the production of Ac‐225 from a Th‐229 source for targeted alpha therapy of cancer. The separation method is based on the use of a newly developed extraction chromatographic resin containing the diglycolamide (DGA) class of molecules. The weight distribution ratios of Ac(III) on the extraction chromatographic resins N,N,N′N′ tetraoctyldiglycolamide (TODGA) and N,N,N′N′ tetrakis‐2‐ethylhexyldiglycolamide (TEHDGA) (both Eichrom Inc.) were determined at varying nitric and hydrochloric acid concentrations by batch experiments to optimize conditions for the separation of Ac(III) from Ra(II). Consequently, a robust and rapid procedure based on the use of TEHDGA resin was developed yielding a carrier‐free, clinical‐grade Ac‐225 with an overall yield exceeding 98%.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
