Iodine-123-labeled pH shift brain-imaging agents

  • 1. State Univ. of New York, Buffalo

Description

HIPDM is an 123I-labeled agent with a distribution in brain reflecting regional perfusion. This compound is neutral and lipid soluble at blood pH and freely crosses the blood-brain barrier. At the lower pH in brain, it picks up a hydrogen ion and becomes positively charged. In this form the molecule is not lipid soluble and it is trapped in brain
