Abstract
In order to find the optimum hypoxia imaging agent, two derivatives of HL91-4, 9-diaza-3, 10-dimethyl-dodecane-2, 11-dione dioxime (TMBAO) and N, N’-bis (2-hydroxyimino propionyl)-1, 4-diaminobutane(H2Pab)—were synthesized and labeled with 99Tcm. Evaluation of these complexes as tumor hypoxia markers were performed both in vitroand in vivocompared with 99Tcm-HL91—a putative hypoxic tracer. The tumor cell experiment and the biodistribution in mice bearing EMT-6 tumor show that the two derivatives—99Tcm-TMBAO and 99Tcm-H2Pab have less hypoxic selectivity than 99Tcm-HL91 in despite of their lower liver uptake.
