Description

Accumulation of a radioactive label in tumor tissue is required for scintigraphic visualization of the tumor and has been achieved by application of bleomycin as carrier. This chemotherapeutic polypeptide drug has been labeled with 64Cu. Thin layer chromatography of 64Cu-bleomycin which was incubated for 22 hours at 370C showed no changes of the chelate. When urine of the 64Cu-bleomycin treated animals was chromatographed considerable amounts (9.3%) of free 64Cu appeared 2 hours after injection of the chelate and dissociation was found to be almost complete 4 hours after injection of labeled bleomycin. The distribution of 64Cu-bleomycin is similar to that found with sup(99m)Tc-bleomycin with long lasting accumulation in kidneys and liver. Highest concentration ratios of the activity in mesenchymal tumor (Yoshida) and blood respectively were found 6 hours after intravenous administration of 64Cu-bleomycin. (author)
