title: New 75Se-labeled radiopharmaceuticals: 2. Selenium derivatives of aralkylamines.
abstract: Two 75Se-labeled aralkylamines, 2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenylseleno)ethylamine hydrochloride (75Se-6) and 1-methylseleno-1-phenylethylmethylamine hydrochloride (75Se-9), were prepared with high specific activity applying two different chemical means starting from [75Se]selenious acid. Tissue distribution studies in rats show high uptake in the lungs with lung/blood ratios of 27/1 and 2.3/1 at 10 min for compound 75Se-9 and 75Se-6, respectively. High adrenal uptake and adrenal-to-blood ratio (15/1 at 2 h) of compound 75Se-9 were observed. This study indicates that aralkylamines can accommodate a Se group and still show high uptake by the organs that contain appreciable amount of dopaminergic receptors.
