title: Tc-99m and Re-186 complexes of tetraphosphonate ligands and their biodistribution pattern in animal models.
abstract: The syntheses of four alpha-aminomethyl phosphonates and their complexation studies with (99m)Tc and (186/188)Re are reported. Complexation conditions were standardized to give maximum yields, which ranged from 90-97%. The yields of complexation were estimated by paper chromatography. The (99m)Tc complexes were stable for more than 4 h, while the (186/188)Re complexes were stable for 3-8 days when stored at 4 degrees C. Biodistribution of these complexes in Wistar rats were carried out, and the uptake in bone and other soft tissue are detailed. Bone uptake of the (99m)Tc complexes varied from 40-60% at 30 min postinjection depending on the ligands. The uptake in soft tissue was minimum with all the complexes. A comparison of the biodistribution studies of the (99m)Tc complexes with that of the well-established radiopharmaceutical (99m)Tc-MDP was carried out for the purpose of evaluating the efficacy of the radiopharmaceutical preparation with the complexes of these ligands. The bone uptake of the (186/188)Re complexes varied from 19-28% corresponding to 1.6-3% per g at 3 h postinjection. The residual activity in both (99m)Tc and (186/188)Re complexes showed renal clearance.
