The PSMA ligand NG001 was supplied as HPLC purified and dried trifluoroacetic acid salt (purity of ≥98%) by MedKoo Biosciences (Morrisville, NC, USA). NG001 dissolved in 0.5 M ammonium acetate in 0.1 M HCl was labelled with 212Pb using a liquid 224Ra/212Pb generator solution, as previously described [25 (link),68 (link)]. The 212Pb-NG001 was purified using PD Minitrap G-10 columns prepacked with Sephadex G-10 resin (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences AB, Uppsala, Sweden) to remove free 224Ra to a level below 0.8%. The radiochemical purity (RCP) of the radioligand was measured by thin-layer chromatography, and radioligands with RCP >95% were used for the experiments.
