      The illicit use of gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) salts is an ongoing problem. GHB salts were synthesised and analysed with FTIR. The four different GHB salts had comparable functional groups. Microcrystal tests were employed to detect the sodium salt of GHB. Powder X-Ray diffraction was utilised to obtain diffraction patterns of the four salts of GHB. Distinct differences between the patterns were observed indicating that the lattice spacing of the salts differ and can be used to discriminate… Show more The illicit use of gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) salts is an ongoing problem.

      Research to produce a range of candidate neutral zirconium (Zr) L4 lipophilic complexes that could be prepared under radiopharmaceutical conditions and used in cell labelling. Complexes were prepared in high yield from Zr precursors in hydrochloric or oxalic acid solution. Complexes were characterised and chromatographic protocols were established to monitor radiochemical purity. Cell uptake and efflux of Zr tetrakis oxine, tropolone and ethyl maltol using several cell lines was undertaken.

Complexes were prepared in high yield from Zr precursors in hydrochloric or oxalic acid solution. Complexes were characterised and chromatographic protocols were established to monitor radiochemical purity. Cell uptake and efflux of Zr tetrakis oxine, tropolone and ethyl maltol using several cell lines was undertaken. Zr tetrakis oxine emerged as a lead compound and chromatographic standard in which labelled 89Zr tetrakis oxine can be identified. Zirconium-89 tetrakis oxine labelled myeloma cells retained the radiotracer in vivo for up to 7 days. 89Zr tetrakis oxine was found to be a promising cell tracking agent for long term studies.
