摘要

We have synthesized 68Ga labeled citrate capped silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) based formulation for the diagnosis of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacterial infection induced in Wistar rats by employing PET/CT imaging. Initially, citrtate capped Ag NPs were synthesized and characterized by powder XRD, SEM, EDS and TEM analyses as well as by FT-IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The TEM analyses revealed their average particle size of ~ 6 nm. The SAED pattern indicated crystallinity of Ag NPs. The DLS mesurements revealed the hydrodynamic size of ~ 30–35 nm and zeta potential of − 26.72 mV ± 1.56 was found. Later, the 68Ga labeling was performed through in-situ chelation of 68GaCl3 with carboxylate groups of trisodium citrate, which were capped on Ag NPs. The radiolabeling yield was found to be ~ 80% and the stability evaluation revealed ~ 90% stability in saline and ~ 78% stability in plasma. The in-vivo PET/CT imaging by 68Ga labeled Ag NPs formulation could detect inflammation induced by S. aureus infection in Wistar rats which was compared with PET/CT image after administering 18F-FDG, a clinical probe and it reveled that the presented Ag NPs based formulation is appropriate for PET/CT imaging. Aditionally, the synthesis of the presented test formulation was facile also.
