title: Biodistribution of 6-[211At]astato-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinol bis(diphosphate salt) and 211At- in mice with a transplanted rectal adenocarcinoma.
abstract: 6-[211At]astato-MNDP is currently being investigated as a potential high LET endoradiotherapeutic drug. Biodistribution and whole-body radiation retention studies have been carried out with 6-[211At]astato-MNDP and 211At- in a murine rectal tumour model; results indicate that the 211At-C bond in the compound is metabolically stable for at least 6 h. The Mean Biological Concentration of 6-[211At]astato-MNDP in tumour tissue ranged from 170-253% over an initial 12 h period; this was higher than that observed for the [211At]astatide anion. Conversely, the uptake of compound into radiobiologically critical organs was significantly lower.
