Abstract  

In order to seek a new class of brain perfusion imaging agent containing[ 99m TcN]2+ core, the bis(N-isopropyl dithiocarbamato)nitrido technetium-99m complex [ 99m TcN(IPDTC)2 ] (IPDTC:N-isopropyldithiocarbamato) has been synthesized through a simple and efficient method,which can be utilized for the preparation of a radiopharmaceutical througha lyophilized formulation. The radiochemical purity of the complex was over90% determined by thin layer chromatography. No decomposition of the complexwas observed at room temperature over a period of 12 hours. Its partitioncoefficient indicated that it was a good lipophilic complex. Biodistributionin mice demonstrated that the complex was significantly retained into thebrain. The brain uptake (ID%/g) was 3.90, 2.67 and 1.54 and the brain/bloodratios were 1.26, 1.06 and 0.85 at 5, 30 and 60-minute post-injection, respectively.The results showed that the complex may lead to a further development of theradiopharmaceutical as a brain perfusion tracer.
