BATO (boronic acid adduct of technetium dioximes) complexes, TcCl(dioxime)3BR, were prepared in which the boron substituent (R) was the protein-reactive m-phenyl isothiocyanate (PITC). The 99TcCl(dioxime)3PITC complexes [dioxime = dimethylglyoxime (DMG) or cyclohexanedione dioxime (CDO)] were prepared from 99Tc(dioxime)3(mu-OH)SnCl3 and characterized. The X-ray crystal structure of 99TcCl(DMG)3PITC was determined. The 99mTc complexes were prepared from 99mTcO4- in a process using a freeze-dried kit, either in a one-step procedure or via 99mTcCl(dioxime)3. Initial labeling studies with 99mTcCl(dioxime)3PITC were performed on glycine and polylysine and, subsequently, on mouse IgG and the B72.3 monoclonal antibody. Covalent attachment of 99mTcCl(DMG)3PITC to B72.3 was demonstrated by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. B72.3 labeled with 99mTcCl(DMG)3PITC displayed high binding to a TAG 72 affinity column and had a distribution in normal mice similar to that reported for iodine-labeled B72.3.  相似文献

Since ancient times propolis has been employed for many human purposes because to their favourable properties. Blood constituents labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) have been used in nuclear medicine procedures. Some authors have reported that synthetic or natural drugs can interfere with the labeling of blood constituents with 99mTc. The aim of this work was to evaluate the action of a propolis extract on the labeling of blood elements with 99mTc. Samples of whole blood of male Wistar rats were incubated in sequence with an aqueous propolis extract at different concentrations, stannous chloride and 99mTc, as sodium pertechnetate. Blood samples were centrifuged to separate plasma and blood cells, soluble and insoluble fractions of plasma and blood cells were also separated after precipitation in trichloroacetic acid solution and centrifugation. The radioactivity was counted and the percentage of incorporated radioactivity (%ATI) for each fraction was calculated. The data obtained showed that the aqueous propolis extract used decreased significantly the %ATI in plasma proteins at higher concentration studied. Results suggest that at high concentration the constituents of this extract could alter the labeling of plasma proteins competing with same binding sites of the 99mTc on the plasma proteins or acting as antioxidant compounds.  相似文献

Radiolabeling of small receptor-avid peptides at specific predetermined chelation sites with radioactive metals has been an effective approach for production of target-specific radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Among various electron-donating groups found on chelator frameworks, phosphines are unique because they display versatile coordination chemistry with a wide range of transition metals. We have recently reported the utility of a dithia-bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphine-based (P2S2) bifunctional chelating agent (BFCA) containing air-stable primary phosphine groups to form 99mTc-labeled receptor-avid peptides by the preconjugation approach. Here we report a novel strategy for labeling small peptides with both 99mTc and 188Re using the P2S2-COOH (6,8-bis[3-(bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphanyl)propylsulfanyl]octanoic acid) BFCA by a postconjugation radiolabeling approach. The first step in this approach involves the coupling of the corresponding (PH2)2S2-COOH intermediate to the N-terminus of the peptide(s). Formylation of P-H bonds with aqueous formaldehyde in the presence of HCl in ethanol affords the corresponding (hydroxymethyl)phosphine-P2S2-peptide conjugates in the form of an oxidatively stable phosphonium salt. The P2S2-peptide conjugates are generated (where the PH2 groups are converted to P(CH2OH)2 groups) by treatment of the P2S2-peptide phosphonium salt(s) with 1 M sodium bicarbonate solution at pH 8.5. Complexation of BFCA conjugates with 99mTc is achieved by direct reduction with Sn(II) tartarate to yield the 99mTc-P2S2-peptide conjugate in near quantitative yields. Complexation of the BFCA conjugates with 188Re is achieved by transchelation with 188Re citrate in yields of >/=90%. In this study, (PH2)2S2-COOH BFCA was conjugated to model peptides. The glycineglycine ethyl ester (GlyGlyOEt)-(PH2)2S2-COOH BFCA conjugate was converted to the hydroxymethylene phosphine form and complexed with 99mTc to produce the 99mTcO2-P2S2-GlyGlyOEt conjugate 8 in RCPs of >/=95%. This singular 99mTc product is stable over 24 h in aqueous solution as confirmed by HPLC. Identical retention times of the 99mTcO2-P2S2-GlyGlyOEt complex and its cold rhenium analogue (ReO2-P2S2-GlyGlyOEt) on HPLC indicates similarity in structures at the macroscopic and the tracer levels. The utility of this postconjugation strategy was further demonstrated by synthesizing a P2S2-D-Lys6-LHRH conjugate and producing its corresponding 99mTc complex in RCPs of >/=88%. Finally, the P2S2-5-Ava-BBN[7-14]NH2 bombesin (BBN) analogue was synthesized, the PH2 groups converted to P(CH2OH)2 groups and subsequently labeled with 188Re to yield a 188Re-labeled bombesin analogue with a RCP of >/=90%. The biological integrity of this conjugate was demonstrated in both in vitro and in vivo. The results of this investigation demonstrate that the (PH2)2S2-COOH BFCA can be conveniently used as a precursor for labeling small receptor-avid peptides with diagnostic (99mTc) and therapeutic (188Re) radionuclides via the postconjugation approach in high yields.  相似文献

Amantadine (AMA) has been described as dopamine stimulant and norepineprhine release, capable to block the N-methyl-D aspartate (NMDA) glutamatergic and nicotinic receptors, enhancing the sexual behavior of the male rats and inducing hypersexuality in humans. The use of technetium-99m (99mTc) can be justified for its physical and chemical properties. The aim of this study was to label and evaluate the bioavailability of the AMA labelled with 99mTc (99mTc-AMA) in Wistar female rats. The solution of 99mTc-AMA was administered by intraperitoneal way and the animals were sacrificed in CO2 chamber 10 min after the administration of the radiotracer. Various organs were removed, weighted, their radioactivity was determined using an auto-gamma counter and the results were expressed as the percentage of the injected activity per gram of tissue (%ATI/g). In the control group only Na99mTcO4 was administered. The analysis of results shows that the highest uptakes 99mTc-AMA treated group were: ovary (7.11 +/- 1.43), spleen (3.54 +/- 1.05), thyroid (2.67 +/- 0.15), stomach (1.56 +/- 1.10), duodenum (0.87 +/- 0.52), muscular tissue (0.57 +/- 0.06), liver (0.52 +/- 0.25), and at control group: thyroid (16.45 +/- 2.57), ovary (1.28 +/- 0.12), liver (1.10 +/- 0.04), spleen (0.57 +/- 0.07) and muscular tissue (0.26 +/- 0.03). The results obtained suggest that 99mTc-AMA may be used to study the bioavailability of amantadine and evaluate its effect in sexual behavior in female rats.  相似文献

BATO (boronic acid adduct of technetium dioximes) complexes, TcCl(dioxime)3BR, were prepared in which the boron substituent (R) was the protein-reactive 2-carboxy-4-phenyl isothiocyanate (CPITC). The 99Tc complexes, where the dioxime was either dimethylglyoxime (DMG) or cyclohexanedione dioxime (CDO), were prepared and characterized. The 99mTc complex TcCl(DMG)3CPITC was prepared from a freeze-dried kit and used to label B72.3 (anti-TAG.72) and NP-4 (anti-CEA) whole antibodies, and the NP-4 F(ab')2 fragment. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis indicated that the labeling reagent was strongly bound to antibody. The labeled antibodies displayed high binding to affinity columns and good tumor uptake in GW39 tumor-bearing mice.  相似文献

Thuya occidentalis is used in popular medicine in the treatment of condyloma and has antibacterial action. Red blood cells (RBC) labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) are used for several evaluations in nuclear medicine. This labeling depends on a reducing agent, usually stannous ion. Any drug which alters the labeling of the tracer could be expected to modify the disposition of the radiopharmaceutical. We have evaluated the influence of T. occidentalis extract on the labeling of RBC and plasma proteins with 99mTc. Blood was withdrawn and incubated with T. occidentalis (0.25; 2.5; 20.5; and 34.1 percent v/v). Stannous chloride (1.2 micrograms/ml) was added and then 99mTc was added. Plasma (P) and blood cells (BC) were isolated, also precipitated with trichloroacetic acid and soluble (SF) and insoluble fractions (IF) separated. The analysis of the results shows that there is a decrease in radioactivity (from 97.64 to 75.89 percent) in BC with 34.1 percent of the drug. In the labeling process of RBC with 99mTc, the stannous and pertechnetate ions pass through the membrane, so we suggest that the T. occidentalis effect can be explained (i) by an inhibition of the transport of these ions, (ii) by damage in membrane, (iii) by competition with the cited ions for the same binding sites, or (iv) by possible generation of reactive oxygen species that could oxidize the stannous ion.  相似文献

Native (n), glycated (g), and glycoxidated (go) low-density lipoproteins (LDL) were labeled with 125I or 99mTc, and the labeling efficiency and binding were assessed for potential use of these LDL compounds in imaging analysis of atherosclerotic lesions (PPAR-gamma receptors) by determining the number of specific receptors for nLDL, gLDL or goLDL on human microvascular endothelial cells as well as the KDs using either 125I-or 99mTc-labeled LDLs. The specific activity of labeled gLDL and goLDL was much higher (for goLDL 20 times higher) than that of nLDL. Gel filtration of labeled LDLs revealed, however, that 99mTc-g/goLDL is significantly degraded by the labeling reaction. No fragmentation was observed for 99mTc-nLDL and all the 125I-labeled LDL forms. Binding studies using both 125I-and 99mTc-nLDL indicated a weak binding affinity (KD 10- 7mol/L) to human microvascular endothelial cells. The binding affinity of 125I-g/goLDL to these cells was significantly higher (KD 10- 9mol/L) and could be increased further by preactivation of the endothelial cells using TNFalpha. Incubation with 99mTc-goLDL, however, did not result in specific binding of the ligand, possibly as a consequence of the fragmentation of the lipoprotein during the labeling. Scatchard transformation of the binding data with 99mTc-gLDL revealed the presence of only a few binding sites. This was in contrast to the results obtained with 125I-labeled gLDL, which revealed a much higher membrane density of scavenger receptors for this ligand. We conclude that for in vitro binding studies as well as for potential in vivo imaging, only 125I-labeled goLDL should be used, whereas nLDL may be applied as 125I-or 99mTc-labeled ligand.  相似文献

For tracer or analytical studies it is often useful to label proteins by direct iodination or by reacting them with an iodinated reagent. A simple iodination technique with hydrogen peroxide is described for use with either carrier-free or low-specific-activity iodine. The method introduces less oxidative damage to proteins than any other procedure tested, yet the efficiency of labeling approaches that offered by the chloramine T or Iodogen methods. The method has been applied to the facile and inexpensive preparation of the iodinated Bolton-Hunter reagent. This peroxide iodination procedure should be particularly useful for labeling proteins or peptides for structural investigations or for immunoassays.  相似文献

We have developed a technetium labeling technology based on a new organometallic chemistry, which involves simple mixing of the novel reagent, a 99m Tc(I)-carbonyl compound, with a His-tagged recombinant protein. This method obviates the labeling of unpaired engineered cysteines, which frequently create problems in large-scale expression and storage of disulfide-containing proteins. In this study, we labeled antibody single-chain Fv fragments to high specific activities (90 mCi/mg), and the label was very stable to serum and all other challenges tested. The pharmacokinetic characteristics were indistinguishable from iodinated scFv fragments, and thus scFV fragments labeled by the new method will be suitable for biodistribution studies. This novel labeling method should be applicable not only to diagnostic imaging with 99mTc, but also to radioimmunotherapy approaches with 186/188 Re, and its use can be easily extended to almost any recombinant protein or synthetic peptide.  相似文献

The sites of tissue uptake of human lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a] were studied in rats using [3H]cholesteryl linoleyl ether [( 3H]CLE) as a marker. Since rat plasma has no cholesteryl ester transfer activity, the amount of label in various tissues should reflect the quantitative uptake of Lp(a). Isolated Lp(a) was labeled with [3H]CLE by incubation overnight of Lp(a), a source of cholesteryl ester transfer activity (1.23 g/ml infranate of human plasma), and [3H]CLE-labeled Intralipid. Following labeling, the homogeneity and integrity of Lp(a) was shown by agarose electrophoresis and immunoblotting. Intact Lp(a) was injected via the tail vein of rats (120-170 g, n = 4 at each time point), and tissues were collected at various times thereafter (4-48 h). The disappearance curve of [3H]CLE-labeled Lp(a) from rat plasma was bimodal and had an initial rapid t1/2 of 1.8 h followed by a slower component, t1/2 = 13.3 h. Tissue uptake at all sampling times was greatest in liver (28.5% at 48 h of total dpm injected), followed by the intestine (9-12%), with less than 3% uptake by spleen. The small intestine was divided into four segments, and while the 3H radioactivity was similar in the proximal segments, a time-related increase in [3H]CLE was seen in its most distal portion. These studies indicate that the tissue sites of degradation in the rat of human Lp(a) are similar to human low-density lipoproteins (LDL); the increase in label in the distal portion of the small intestine with time may represent [3H]CLE excreted through the bile and absorbed by the mucosal cells.  相似文献

Fluorescence assay for phospholipid membrane asymmetry.   总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Highly fluorescent 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl-lipid (NBD-lipid) analogues are widely used to examine lipid transport and membrane structure. We have developed a method for chemically modifying NBD-labeled lipids in both artificial and biological membranes. This was achieved by treating fluorescently labeled membranes with dithionite (S2O4(-2)). When small unilamellar vesicles containing NBD-labeled phospholipids were reacted with dithionite, only the fluorescent lipid located on the outer leaflet of the vesicles' bilayer was reduced. Seven different NBD-lipid analogues, including a fluorescent sterol, were reduced by treatment with dithionite to nonfluorescent 7-amino-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl-lipid derivatives. To assess the feasibility of using this reagent in biological systems, N-(7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl)dioleoylphosphatidylethanol ami ne was inserted into the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane of CHO-K1 cells. Subsequent incubation of these cells with a nontoxic concentration of dithionite resulted in the complete loss of fluorescence from the plasma membrane. In contrast, when cells were permitted to endocytose some of their fluorescently labeled plasma membrane and then treated with dithionite, fluorescence at the plasma membrane was eliminated, while intracellular labeling was not affected. These data suggest that dithionite reacts with NBD-labeled lipids in the outer leaflet of membrane bilayers, producing nonfluorescent derivatives. We demonstrate how reduction of NBD-lipids with dithionite can be used to prepare asymmetrically labeled liposomes and to measure transverse-membrane asymmetry in vesicles. This method should be useful in many biochemical investigations, including the measurement of phospholipid translocase activity.  相似文献

This is the first observation for contributing to the glycation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidative modification of its own lipids and protein. Human plasma LDL was glycated by incubation with glucose (G-LDL). Glucose incorporated into apoprotein B was approximately 10 mol/mol of apoprotein (2.8% modification of lysine residues) and 84% of G-LDL was adsorbed on phenylboronate affinity column. G-LDL incubated with Fe3+ for 4 h caused a significantly higher level of lipid peroxidation than U-LDL (untreated with glucose), and a higher molecular weight protein was observed in apoprotein B on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), increasing with incubation period. Corresponding to change on SDS-PAGE, G-LDL exposed to Fe3+ moved faster than G-LDL per se or U-LDL to anode on agarose gel electrophoresis. The higher the Fe3+ concentration, the more lipid peroxidation was caused. Alpha-tocopherol or probucol suppressed the lipid peroxidation of G-LDL exposed to Fe3+.  相似文献

As a continuation of our interest in novel 99mTc chelating systems, several pyridine-containing HYNIC (6-hydrazinonicotinamide) derivatives (L1-L5) have been synthesized and characterized by NMR (1H and 13C) and LC-MS. 99mTc complexes of L1-L5 were prepared by the reaction of the HYNIC derivative with 99mTcO4- in the presence of excess tricine and stannous chloride. Results from this study show that the attachment site of the linker is critical for the formation of macrocyclic 99mTc complexes. For example, the pyridine-N in L3 is not able to bond to the Tc, because the lysine linker is attached to the 4-position. When the linker is at the 2-position, L1 forms the macrocyclic complex [99mTc(L1)(tricine)], but the radiochemical purity is relatively low. If the linker is attached to the 3-position of the pyridine ring, the HYNIC derivatives form macrocyclic complexes [99mTc(L)(tricine)] (L2, L4, and L5) in high yield (>95%). The HPLC data suggest that the macrocyclic complex [(99m)Tc(L2)(tricine)] exists in solution as four isomers: two diastereomers and two conformational isomers. Diastereomers are due to a combination of the chirality of the lysine linker and of the Tc chelate. Replacing lysine with a pentamethylenediamine linker results in the macrocyclic complex [99mTc(L4)(tricine)] with two conformational isomers, which interconvert rapidly at room temperature. Changing the linker from pentamethylenediamine to hexamethylenediamine did not eliminate the minor isomer; but the percentage of the minor isomer was reduced from approximately 10% for [99mTc(L4)(tricine)] to only 6% for [99mTc(L5)(tricine)]. The linker length is an important parameter to minimize the minor isomer. LC-MS data of complexes [99mTc(L)(tricine)] (L2, L4, and L5) are completely consistent with their proposed compositions. On the basis of these data, it is concluded that pyridine-containing HYNIC derivatives have the potential as bifunctional chelators for 99mTc-labeling of small biomolecules if the linker is attached to the 3-position of the pyridine ring.  相似文献

Acetaminophen (AAP), acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and dipyrone (DIP) are antipyretic and analgesics drugs that have wide use in health sciences. Some drugs can modify the labeling of blood elements with technetium-99m (99mTc). This work has evaluated the effect of AAP, ASA and DIP on the labeling of the blood elements with 99mTc. Blood was incubated with different concentrations of the drugs before the 99mTc-labeled process. Plasma (P), blood cells (BC), insoluble (IF-P, IF-BC) and soluble (SF-P, SF-BC) fractions were separated and percentage of radioactivity (%ATI) in each fraction was determined. Data have shown that the antipyretic drugs used in this study did not significantly modify the fixation of 99mTc on the blood elements when the experiments were carried out with the doses usually used in human beings. Although the experiments were carried out with rats, it is possible to suggest that AAP, ASA or DIP should not interfere with the procedures in nuclear medicine involving the labeling of blood elements with 99mTc.  相似文献

A new labeling approach for incorporating bioactive peptides into a technetium-99m coordination complex is described. This method exploits the chemical properties of the novel metal-nitrido fragment [99mTc(N)(PXP)]2+, composed of a terminal Tc[triple bond] N multiple bond bound to an ancillary diphosphine ligand (PXP). It will be shown that this basic, molecular building block easily forms in solution as the dichloride derivative [99mTc(N)(PXP)Cl2], and that this latter complex selectively reacts with monoanionic and dianionic, bidentate ligands (YZ) having soft, pi-donor coordinating atoms to afford asymmetrical nitrido heterocomplexes of the type [99mTc(N)(PXP)(YZ)]0/+ without removal of the basic motif [99mTc(N)(PXP)]2+. The reactions of the amino acid cysteine was studied in detail. It was found that cysteine readily coordinates to the metal fragment [99mTc(N)(PXP)]2+ either through the [NH2, S-] pair of donor atoms or, alternatively, through the [O-, S-] pair, to yield the corresponding asymmetrical complexes in very high specific activity. Thus, these results were conveniently employed to devise a new, efficient procedure for labeling short peptide sequences having a terminal cysteine group available for coordination to the [99mTc(N)(PXP)]2+ fragment. Examples of the application of this novel approach to the labeling of the short peptide ligand H-Arg-Gly-Asp-Cys-OH (H(2)1) and of the peptidomimetic derivative H-Cys-Val-2-Nal-Met-OH (H2) will be discussed.  相似文献

It is estimated that about 2.5 million people only in the United States are affected by epilepsy. Labelled red blood cells (RBC) and plasma proteins (PP) are used for several evaluations in nuclear medicine and drugs affecting those labelings have previously been described. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the most popular antiseizure drugs interfere with the 99mTc labeling process of RBC and PP. Heparinized blood withdrawn from Wistar rats was incubated with phenobarbital (0.2, 2, 20, 200, 2,000 microg/ml), phenytoin (0.15, 1.5, 15, 150, 1,500 microg/ml), carbamazepine (0.7, 7, 70 microg/ml), clonazepam (0.5, 5, 50, 500 microg/ml) or valproic acid (0.5, 5, 50, 500 microg/ml) for I hr. Stannous chloride (SnCl2), in two different concentrations (0.012 or 1.2 microg/ml) and 99mTc were added. Plasma and cellular fractions were isolated by centrifugation, soluble and insoluble fractions were separated by trichloroacetic acid precipitation. The percentage of radioactivity was calculated for each fraction. Statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA and Dunnet tests. The analysis of the results has shown that phenobarbital (2,000 microg/ml) and clonazepam (50 microg/ml) significantly have reduced the RBC labeling efficiency when it was used the optimal SnCl2 concentration (1.2 microg/ml) and clonazepam (5, 50 microg/ml) has significantly decreased the PP labeling efficiency with 99mTc. Phenytoin (1,500 microg/ml) has decreased the RBC labeling efficiency when the experiments were carried out with a small SnCl2 concentration (0.012 microg/ml). We can suggest that with this in vitro assay, at the therapeutic level of phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine and valproic acid will not interfere on the 99mTc labeling process of RBC. Interference is displayed at higher phenobarbital concentrations (2,000 microg/ml). However, humans do not tolerate this concentration. On the other hand, a decreased RBC and PP labeling efficiency with 99mTc may be expected for clonazepam at therapeutic levels.  相似文献

N-Succinimidyl 5-(trialkylstannyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylates (alkyl = Me, Bu) have been prepared and used as a precursor to label N-succinimidyl 5-[131I]iodo-3-pyridinecarboxylate (SIPC). SIPC was obtained in greater than 80% yield from either the methyl or butyl precursor with N-chlorosuccinimide and heating at 60-65 degrees C. Significantly lower yields were observed with tert-butyl hydroperoxide. After a 30-min incubation with [131I]SIPC at pH 8.5, goat IgG, an intact monoclonal antibody (MAb), and a MAb F(ab')2 fragment were labeled in 60-65% yield. Specific binding of the MAb and MAb fragment after SIPC labeling was identical with that observed with N-succinimidyl 3-iodobenzoate and higher than that reported previously for these MAbs after labeling by using the Iodogen method. When 5-[131I]iodonicotinic acid was injected into normal mice, thyroid uptake was less than 0.2% of the injected dose, reflecting the inertness of this compound to deiodination. Paired-label biodistribution studies indicate that for both the MAb and the F(ab')2 labeled by using SIPC, accumulation of activity in the thyroid and other tissues is comparable to that observed when these proteins were labeled by using N-succinimidyl 3-iodobenzoate. The results of this study suggest that SIPC may be a reagent for labeling MAbs with halogen nuclides.  相似文献

Technetium-99m (99mTc) has been used in nuclear medicine and in biomedical research to label molecular and cellular structures employed as radiotracers. Here, we have evaluated, on a DNA repair proficient Escherichia coli strain, the 99mTc decay inactivation and the influence of the (i) pre-treatment with metal ion chelators or of the (ii) treatment with a free radical scavenger on the protection of the cells against the lethal effect of the 99mTc. As SnCl2 is frequently used as a reducing agent in the 99mTc-labeling process, we have also studied the capability of SnCl2 to alter the biological effects induced by the 99mTc decay. As we are exposed to either chemical or physical agents in the nature, we have decided to study a possible influence of the ultraviolet solar radiation in the biological phenomena induced by the 99mTc decay. Our data point out (i) a very important role of the Auger and/or conversion electrons in the cytotoxicity induced by the 99mTc decay; (ii) SnCl2, the metal ion chelators and the free radical scavenger protect the cells against the lethal effect of the 99mTc; and (iii) near-UV does not alter the lethal effect of the 99mTc decay.  相似文献

8-Cyclopentadienyltricarbonyl 99mTc 8-oxooctanoic acid (99mTc-CpTTOA; 1a) was synthesized for evaluation of medium chain fatty acid metabolism in the liver. 99mTc-CpTTOA was prepared in high radiochemical yield (50-63%) by a double ligand transfer reaction of methyl 8-ferrocenyl-8-oxooctanoate and Na99mTcO4 in the presence of CrCl3 and Cr(CO)6, followed by hydrolysis. This radiotracer was shown to be stable (>90% at 6 h) when incubated with human serum. Aqueous extraction of the radioactivity from the liver and blood samples of mice suggested that 99mTc-CpTTOA was mainly metabolized via beta-oxidation in the liver, and the radioactivity was retained longer in CCl4-treated mice than in control mice, possibly due to impaired beta-oxidation in the former. Planar images of rats injected with 99mTc-CpTTOA showed accumulation of the radioactivity in the liver, kidneys, and bladder with rapid hepatic clearance as a function of time. Analysis of the metabolites from the liver and urine samples of rats further supported that 99mTc-CpTTOA was metabolized to 4-cyclopentadienyltricarbonyl 99mTc 4-oxobutanoic acid (99mTc-CpTTBA; 1c) via beta-oxidation. The results suggested that this radiotracer might be of valuable use in the evaluation of fatty acid metabolism in the liver.  相似文献
