Abstract:
3-amino-1-hydroxypropylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (ABP) was synthesized and labeled with
131I using
N-succinimidyl-5-(tri-butylstannyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate(SPC) as a bi-functional linker.
131I could be coupled to ABP via a
131I-SIPC intermediate with a labeling yield of more than 64%, and a radiochemical purity of more than 99% after HPLC purification. After72 h at room temperature, the radiochemical purity was still more than 98.8%, implying that the
131I-SIPC-ABP is stable
in vitro. Biodistribution experiments in mice show that
131I-SIPC-ABP has high affinity to bone and high stability
in vivoas well as
in vitro.
