High myocardial accumulation of radioiodinated digoxin derivative: a possible Na,K-ATPase imaging agent.
In view of the high binding ability of cardiac glycosides to the myocardial Na,K-ATPase, radioiodinated digoxin derivatives were surveyed as candidates for myocardial imaging, with particular emphasis on the noninvasive monitoring of cardiac glycoside therapy. Among the radioiodinated digoxin derivatives surveyed, 125I-digoxin-iodohistamine(bis(O-carboxymethyloxime)) showed the highest accumulation in the myocardium and similar binding ability to Na,K-ATPase as digoxin itself against ouabain displacement, as indicated by in vivo and in vitro studies. Based on these results, 123I labeling of digoxin-histamine(bis(O-carboxymethyloxime)) and imaging in a dog demonstrated uptake in the myocardium.
