SummaryThe correlation between chemical formulation and biodistribution of 99mTc-phytate solutions was examined. On the basis of radiochemical analyses and biological experiments, the following optimum parameters were found: weight ratio of the anhydrous sodium phytate to SnCl2 18 : 1; concentration of phytate 5-6 g/1, pH of the injection solution 6-7. Maximum uptakes in rat organs were in the liver 95.8 ± 3.26 at 15-20 min p.i., and in the spleen 3.98 ± 0.79% 3 hours p. i. Two new methods for radiochemical analysis enabling the separation of three peaks were used: ITLC-SG Gelman chromatography and molecular sieving through Sephadex G-25. The bench-life of the injection solution was also checked during a 5-h period, as well as its shelf-life which was at least 6 months. Clinical examinations showed excellent visualization of the normal liver with discrete radiocolloid uptake in the spleen and no uptake in other tissues. With SPECT a more precise and clear localization of liver lesions was achieved especially due to the low uptake of 99mTc-phytate in the spleen.
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.
