title: Synthesis, characterization, and biodistribution of [113mIn]TE-BAT: a new myocardial imaging agent.
abstract: In order to develop a new myocardial perfusion agent, new lipid-soluble complexes containing a net charge of +1 were evaluated. Synthesis, radiolabeling, characterization, and biodistribution of a unique indium complex, [113mIn]TE-BAT (tetraethyl-bis-aminoethanethiol), are described. The complex formation between In +3 and TE-BAT ligand is rapid, simple, and of high yield (greater than or equal to 95%). This process is amenable to kit formulation. The complex has a net charge of +1 and an In/ligand ratio of 1:1. Biodistribution in mice shows higher heart uptake and longer retention as compared to 201TI. This complex, when labeled with 111In, shows promise as a possible tracer for myocardial perfusion imaging.
