title: [Study on tumor affinity of technetium-99m-labeled radiopharmaceuticals. (2) 99mTc-Sn-diphosphonate (99mTc-EHDP), 99mTc-Sn-dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA), and 99mTc-Sn-diethyl stilbestrol diphosphate (99mTc-DSDP)].
abstract: The authors have examined the tumor affinity of various 99mTc-labelled radiopharmaceuticals to Ehrlich's tumor for the purpose of delineating positively human malignant neoplasm. This paper includes biologic distributions of 99mTc-Sn-diphosphonate (99mTc-EHDP), 99mTc-Sn-dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) and 99mTc-Sn-diethyl stilbestrol diphosphate (99mTc-DSDP, 99mTc-Honvan) as the second report on the tumor affinity to the Ehrlich-bearing mice. (a) Tumor concentration of 99mTc-EHDP was lowest and the positive delineation of implanted tumor with 99mTc-EHDP was poorest in sequential images, though the active accumulation to some soft tissue maglinant neoplasms, the breast cancer and the thyroid cancer, has been reported. (b) Tumor concentration and tumor to blood ratio of 99mTc-DMSA were not so high on the contrary of our expectation that 197Hg-DMSA may show the high tumor concentration and the high tumor to blood ratio like 197Hg chlormerodrin as same renal scanning radiopharmaceuticals. (c) Tumor concentration of 99mTc-DSDP was highest. Tumor to blood concentration ratio, however, was lower than that of the above mentioned radiopharmaceuticals but tumor to liver ratio and/or tumor to lung ratio was over 1.0 at the earlier time. Biologic distribution of 99mTc-DSDP was similar to that of 32P labeled DSDP and then it is presumed that 99mTc is labeled at phosphate ester of DSDP which is dephospholytated immediately by phospholylase in vivo following the intravenous injection. Therefore, it may be assumed that the accumulation mechanism of 99mTc-DSDP to Ehrlich's tumor is related to the phospholylase activity in neoplasms but is not known precisely.
