E-17 alpha[125I]iodovinylestradiol: an estrogen-receptor-seeking radiopharmaceutical
Abstract:
Through the use of radioiododestannylation, the specifically labeled E-17 alpha-[125I]iodovinylestradiol [(I-125)VE2] was synthesized rapidly and in high yield from the stable precursor E-17 alpha-tributylstannylvinylestradiol (SnVE2), and its biodistribution was determined in immature female rats. The agent accumulated in the uterus, achieving a peak uptake of 0.465% ID-kg/g at 2 hr. Uterus-to-blood ratios of 19 and 16 occurred at 1 and 2 hr, respectively, declining to 7 by 4 hr after injection. The uptake of (I-125)VE2 by the uterus at 2 hr was reduced 58--65% by pretreatment of the immature rats with estradiol (5 micrograms) or tamoxifen (100 micrograms), and compared with 16 alpha-[125I]iodoestradiol, (I-125)VE2 showed greater uterine uptake and similar uterus-to-blood ratios. The ease of preparation of the radioligand represents an advantage over the synthetic procedures for other estrogen-receptor-seeking agents.
