Description

Technetium-99m-d,1-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime [/sup 99m/Tc]d,1-HM-PAO) is a neutral-lipophilic chelate formed from a kit in high yield by stannous reduction of Na/sup 99m/TcO4-. Of three methods used to analyze the purity of the /sup 99m/Tc complexes, a single strip method using ether as the developing solvent was the most rapid and simple to perform. The lipophilic chelate converts to /sup 99m/TcO4- and other hydrophilic products with time and this limits the useful lifetime of the preparations. The rate of decomposition of [/sup 99m/Tc]d,1-HM-PAO increased in the presence of excess stannous ion and at pH greater than 9
