A new radiopharmaceutical: 99mTc DMP for renal scanning
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
99mTc-Dimercaptopropionic acid (DMP), a new renal scanning agent was synthesized, and the optimum preparative conditions and stability of this compound were determined. It was demonstrated that scans performed with this agent in rats showed highly selective renal images which may be of promise in future clinical use. The relationships between chemical structure and renal affinity are discussed based on the present results.
