    Summary

    Sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) effectively labels compounds with technetium-99m (99mTc) in neutral solutions. This method yielded high bone uptake for 99mTc-HEDSPA and 99mTc-MDP, and produced distinct kidney- or bone-targeting complexes with 99mTc-gluconate.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiochemistry
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Inorganic Chemistry

    Background:

    • Technetium-99m (99mTc) radiopharmaceuticals are crucial for diagnostic imaging.
    • Efficient and reliable methods for labeling biomolecules with 99mTc are essential.
    • Sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) is a potent reducing agent with potential applications in radiolabeling.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) as a reducing agent for preparing 99mTc-labeled compounds.
    • To evaluate the biodistribution of novel 99mTc-labeled compounds, including those targeting bone and kidney.
    • To characterize the technetium complexes formed during the labeling process.

    Main Methods:

    • Reduction of pertechnetate using Na2S2O4 in neutral solutions (pH 7).

  • Labeling of various compounds including DTPA, HEDSPA, MDP, gluconate, citrate, and trypsin with 99mTc.
  • Biodistribution studies in rats to assess the accumulation of 99mTc in different organs and tissues.
  • Characterization of the technetium complexes formed, including oxidation state and binding mode.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful labeling of DTPA, HEDSPA, MDP, gluconate, citrate, and trypsin using Na2S2O4.
    • High bone accumulation (50%) of 99mTc observed with HEDSPA and MDP labeling.
    • Two distinct 99mTc-gluconate complexes were prepared: Complex I (24% kidney uptake, Tc(V) bound) and Complex II (2.2% kidney, 15.4% bone uptake).
    • Direct complexation of technetium by chelate-forming groups, without "mixed complex" formation.

    Conclusions:

    • Na2S2O4 is an effective reducing agent for neutral pH 99mTc radiolabeling.
    • The developed methods allow for the preparation of 99mTc-labeled compounds with varying biodistribution profiles, including bone-targeting agents.
    • The study provides insights into the complexation chemistry of technetium with different ligands.
