Description

Tin mesoporphyrin IX dichloride (Sn-MPCl2) is a heme oxygenase inhibitor of current clinical interest for the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. The synthesis of [119mSn]-MPCl2 for drug metabolism and disposition studies is reported. [119mSn]-MPCl2 was prepared in 60% radiochemical yield by metalation of the porphyrin nucleus of mesoporphyrin IX dihydrochloride with tin(II)-119m acetate. The product had a specific activity of 43.4 mCi/mmol and a radiochemical purity of 99%, as determined by radio-HPLC analysis. (author)
