title: Influence of complex charge and size on the uptake of 99mTc-diphosphonates in osteogenic tissue.
abstract: The biodistributions of six chromatographically pure 99mTc-HEDP complexes have been determined in soft tissues, normal bone and osteogenic lesions (induced with a Walker 256 tumor) in Fisher 344 rats. The physical properties of each 99mTc-HEDP complex including anionic charge, partial molar volume, molecular weight and spectral characteristics are known; thus allowing structure-activity relationships to be drawn. The results indicate that the smallest, low charged, mononuclear 99mTc-HEDP complexes have the greatest uptake in bone lesions, and the highest lesion to muscle and lesion to normal bone ratios.
