ABSTRACT
Objective. The aim of this research is to determine the pH optimization in the Technetium-99m labeling process with apigenin as a natural flavonoid compound. The antioxidant activity of apigenin can be used to detect the presence of excess free radicals in the body. The compound formed is expected to be a radiotracer compound for cancer diagnosis. Methods. The parameter used for optimization is the pH value. Determination of the optimum pH value can be evaluated from the radiochemical purity value of the 99mTc-Apigenin compound formed. Results. The results of pH optimization on the synthesis of 99mTc-Apigenin compound obtained the optimum pH value is 6 with a radiochemical purity value of 61.35%±4.56%. Conclusion. The best pH value for 99mTc-Apigenin synthesis was 6, with the least amount of impurities 99mTcO4 and TcO2 of 33.77% ± 7.73% and 4.88% ± 3.21%.
