Abstract: | 99TcmN DBODC5 for intravenous injection was prepared. The labelling yield was 95.0%±0.52%. Sixteen New Zealand rabbits were involved and planar gamma imaging was performed at 10 time point after injection of 99TcmN DBODC5. The radioactivity channes of organs were calculated by regions of interest (ROI) analysis. The 16 rabbits were divided into 4 groups and were sacrificed at 30, 60, 120, and 180 min after injection respectively. The activity for all excised organs were measured by γ well counting for calculating radiouptake. Myocardial uptake for 99Tcm N DBODC5 is high. Though myocardial uptake was lower than 99Tcm MIBI, the liver clearance for 99TcmN DBODC5 was more rapid than that of 99Tcm MIBI. As early as 30 min after injection, 99TcmNDBODC5 heart to liver ratio is 0.98±0.52 versus 0.56±0.19 for 99Tcm MIBI (P<0.01). At 60 min post injection, 99TcmNDBODC5 heart to liver ratio improved to the peak value (1.18±0.57), compared with 0.71±0.29 for 99Tcm MIBI, P<0.01. After 60 min, the heart to liver ratio of 99Tcm N DBODC5 was keeping at a high level until 180 min. 99Tcm N DBODC5 exhibited rapid lung clearance, similar to that of 99Tcm MIBI. The biodistribution in the isolated organs demonstrated the same trend. The rapid 99Tcm N DBODC5 liver clearance may allow the earlier imaging, and overcome the photon scatter from the liver with high activity which interfered the inferoapical wall in myocardial images. 99Tcm N DBODC5 is a promising new myocardial perfusion imaging agent with superior biodistribution properties. |
