title: The effect of ligand structure on glutathione-mediated decomposition of propylene amine oxime derivatives.
abstract: Tetramethylpropyleneamine oxime (TMPAO) was synthesized and complexed to 99mTc. 99mTc-TMPAO samples, when challenged with reduced glutathione (GSH), were shown to have two GSH sensitive components, similar to a mixture of d,l and meso 99mTc-HMPAO. One component had a GSH-induced second-order dissociation rate constant (K2) similar to 99mTc-meso-HMPAO. Despite the presence of a large fraction of this component in these samples, brain uptake and autoradiographic studies with 99mTc-TMPAO were equivalent to 99mTc-d,l-HMPAO suggesting that both the d,l and meso 99mTc-TMPAO isomers are efficiently trapped in brain.
