The Noah's Ark experiment: species dependent biodistributions of cationic 99mTc complexes

  • 1. Cincinnati Univ., OH (USA)

Description

The time dependent biodistributions of three related 99mTc complexes of 1, 2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane (DMPE) were evaluated in several animal species including humans: trans-[99mTcv(DMPE)2O2]+, trans-[99mTcIII(DMPE)2Cl2]+ and [99mTcI(DMPE)3]+. Imaging studies were performed in 10 animal species to evaluate these complexes as myocardial perfusion imaging agents. Animal models adequately predict the uninteresting behaviour of the Tc(V) cation in humans, predict to only a very limited extent the behaviour of the Tc(III) cation in humans and totally fail to predict the behaviour of the Tc(I) cation in humans.
