Cross sections of a prospective medical radionuclide 117mSn along wit h113Sn, 120m,122Sb,111,114mIn and118,119m,119g,121m,121g,123mTe generated in natural and enriched antimony targets by protons in a wide energy range up to 145 MeV were determined. A stacked-foil technique followed by gas chemical separation and γ-ray spectrometry were used. The obtained data were compared with experimental values reported in literature and with theoretical computations by ALICE, TALYS and Cascade-Evaporation-Fission codes. Finally, production yields of 117mSn and the main impurity113Sn were estimated for different irradiation modes.
