The complexation of holmium and yttrium with DTPA (diethylentriaminepentaacetic acid) was studied as a first step for labelling of monoclonal antibodies for radiopharmaceutical application. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) with radiometric detection was used to determine the suitable conditions for the preparation of studied complexes. The optimum pH of the reaction mixture, radionuclide:ligand ratio, reaction time and stability of selected complex compounds were found. To find out the physico -chemical properties (stability constants) of Ho-DTPA and Y-DTPA complexes the capillary isotachophoresis (clTP) with conductivity detection was applied using the fact that a good linear relationship exists between the Stability constants of lanthanide-DTPA complexes and the zone reduction due to the bleeding effect (liberation of free metal ion). Satisfactory agreement between the stability constant values of Ho-DTPA and Y-DTPA complexes determined by ITP and ones obtained from the SC Querry Database was obtained.
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.
