摘要:
I-125-Metoprolol was prepared by electrophilic substitution reaction in the presence of Chloramine-T (CAT) as an oxidizing agent. The reaction conditions were optimized. The radiochemical yield of I-125-metoprolol exceeding 90% was attained in 10 min at ambient temperature ( 25 +/- 1 degrees C). The radiochemical yield and purity of the labeled product were evaluated by electrophoresis, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Biodistribution studies of I-125-iodometoprolol were carried out in normal Albino Swiss mice. The results indicate the possibility of using [I-125]-iodometoprolol for myocardial imaging.
