Area of Science:

  • Nuclear medicine
  • Radiopharmaceutical chemistry

Background:

  • Rhodium-105 (105Rh) possesses advantageous physical properties for radiotherapy.
  • Carrier-free 105Rh can be synthesized via neutron activation of 104Ru and subsequent beta decay of 105Ru.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a method for producing carrier-free 105Rh suitable for clinical research.
  • To evaluate the potential of 105Rh-EDTMP as a therapeutic agent for bone metastases.

Main Methods:

  • Neutron activation of 104Ru to produce 105Ru, followed by beta decay to yield 105Rh.
  • Synthesis of 105Rh-EDTMP by reacting 105Rh3+ with EDTMP in boiling water.
  • Assessment of radiochemical yield and stability using paper chromatography.
  • In vivo studies in animals to evaluate blood clearance and bone uptake.

Main Results:

  • Carrier-free 105Rh was produced in sufficient quantity and purity.
  • 105Rh-EDTMP was synthesized with a radiochemical yield exceeding 99% and demonstrated excellent stability.
  • Animal studies revealed rapid blood clearance and selective bone accumulation of 105Rh-EDTMP.

Conclusions:

  • The described method effectively produces high-purity, carrier-free 105Rh.
  • 105Rh-EDTMP exhibits favorable characteristics for bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals.
  • 105Rh-EDTMP is a promising candidate for managing pain associated with bone metastases.
