title: Renal elimination of some 99mTc-labelled cysteamine derivatives.
abstract: It is generally believed that -CO-NH-(CH2)n-COOH moiety promotes tubular excretion of organic anions. Recently it was reported that newly developed renal agents, containing the oxotechnetium(V) glycine group, may mimic the carbonyl amide sequence of [131]I-o-iodohippuric acid. In this study the renal excretion of certain carboxy-cysteamine derivatives is investigated in mice, in the presence of renal tubular transport inhibitor. A similar pattern of renal depression was observed for complexes containing the oxotechnetium glycine sequence, suggesting that this group may satisfy structural parameters for tubular secretion of anionic technetium complexes.
