Abstract  

The bis(N-butyl dithiocarbamato) nitrido 99mTc complex [99mTcN(BDTC)2] (BDTC: N-butyl dithiocarbamato) has been synthesized through a ligand-exchange reaction. The two-step procedure consisted of an initial reaction of 99mTcO4 with succinic dihydrazide (SDH) in the presence of stannous chloride as reducing agent and propylenediamine tetraacetic acid (PDTA) as complexing agent, and subsequent addition of sodium salt of N-butyl dithiocarbamate. The radiochemical purity of the complex was over 90%, as measured by thin layer chromatography. No decomposition of the complex at room temperature was observed over a period of 6 hours. Its partition coefficient indicated that it was a lipophilic complex. The electrophoresis results showed the complex was neutral. Biodistribution in mice showed that the complex accumulated in the brain with high uptake. The brain/blood ratio was 1.58, 1.67 and 1.20 at 5, 30 and 60-minute post-injection, respectively, suggesting this compound would be a potential cerebral imaging agent.
