Description

Tetramethylenephosphonate derivatives of norborane (TPNB) and dicyclopentadiene (TPDCPD) were shown to readily form stable chelates with sup(99m)Tc that had high and selective bone uptake. The skeletal uptake and blood clearance properties of sup(99m)Tc-TPNB were similar to sup(99m)Tc-MDP in both rats and rabbits. This suggests additional studies to further evaluate sup(99m)Tc-TPNB or perhaps other large-organic based multidentate phosphonate ligands as potential bone imaging agents is warranted. (author)
