Abstract
Abstract A novel bisphosphonate derivative (1-aminoethane-1,1-diyl)diphosphonic acid (AEDP) has been prepared and successfully labeled with 99mTc at high labeling yields. The in vivo biodistribution of 99mTc-AEDP has been investigated and compared with two reference compounds Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) and Tc-99m (1-hydroxyethylidene) diphosphonate (99mTc-HEDP). The biodistribution studies have demonstrated a high uptake of the radiotracer 99mTc-AEDP in the bone and a rapid clearance from the blood (such as the two technetium-labeled bone imaging agents in current use: 99mTc-MDP and 99mTc-HEDP). Additionally, the scintigraphic images of 99mTc-AEDP in normal rats have revealed high selective skeletal uptake.
