The synthesis of N′ 4 ‐[ 11 C]methyl‐ciprofloxacin for pharmacological studies using positron emission tomography is described. The starting material was treated with [ 11 C]methyl iodide at 120°C in DMF for 5 min. After HPLC separation on a C 18 ‐column with water/ethanol as mobile phase, the [ 11 C]methyl labelled compound was produced with a radiochemical yield of at least 25% (end of synthesis from [ 11 C]CO 2 ). Activities from 1.48 to 2.22 GBq (40 to 60 mCi) were obtained 1 h after the irradiation, ready for intravenous injection. The carrier ranged between 0.05 and 0.08 μmol (0.010–0.016 μmol/ml).
