Area of Science:

  • Nuclear medicine
  • Radiopharmaceutical chemistry
  • Hepatobiliary imaging

Background:

  • Traditional liver function tests utilize compounds like BSP and Rose Bengal.
  • Development of bifunctional radiopharmaceuticals is crucial for accurate liver diagnosis.
  • Iminodiacetic acid (IDA) serves as a technetium chelating site in radiopharmaceuticals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel bifunctional radiopharmaceuticals for liver functional diagnosis.
  • To evaluate technetium-labeled phthalein and fluorescein IDA derivatives.
  • To identify agents with high hepatobiliary excretion for enhanced liver imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of various IDA derivatives with phthalein or fluorescein structures.
  • Labeling of derivatives with Technetium-99m (99mTc).

  • Assessment of hepatobiliary excretion and binding affinity to liver proteins.

    • Main Results:

    • 99mTc-PC (3,3'-bis(N, N-dicarboxymethylaminomethyl)o-cresolphthalein) exhibited the highest hepatobiliary excretion among tested compounds.
    • The functionality of technetium-labeled derivatives was confirmed through competitive BSP binding studies.
    • Comparative binding studies with ligandin validated the hepatocyte-specific targeting.

    Conclusions:

    • 99mTc-PC is a promising radiopharmaceutical for liver functional diagnosis.
    • Technetium-labeled phthalein and fluorescein IDA derivatives show potential for improved hepatobiliary imaging.
    • Further studies are warranted to establish clinical utility in liver function assessment.
