N-Succinyldesferrioxamine B was found to be cleared very fast by the kidneys. Since this compound can strongly chelate several metals, including the generator-produced isotopes 113mIn and 68Ga, 67Ga-N-succinyldesferrioxamine B (SDF) was tested as a substitute for 131I-o-iodohippuric acid (OIH) in the measurement of renal tubular secretion. In rats both compounds showed similar biodistribution patterns with a greater excretion rate of SDF. In rabbits, however, the excretion rate of OIH was superior to that of SDF. Inhibition of tubular secretion by probenecid was nearly ineffective in the renal clearance of both OIH and SDF.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
