Evaluation of carrier added and no carrier added 90Y-EDTMP as bone seeking therapeutic radiopharmaceutical
Journal Title: Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 27, Issue 4
Abstract
The optimum conditions to label ethylenediaminetetramethylene phosphonate (EDTMP) compound with 90y as a potential candidate for bone metastases therapy were investigated. Yttrium-90 is a pure β-emitter and can be obtained by 89y (n,) 90y nuclear reaction in a reactor or from an in-house generator system (90sr90y). The preparation of 90Y-EDTMPis described using 90y, which was obtained from neutron irradiation of y2o3 as well as from a laboratory scale organic resin-based 90sr90y generator. Because of the radiolabeling yield of 90Y-EDTMP on ligand/metal molar ratio, incubation time and ph was evaluated. Under optimum parameters, the radiolabeling yields of 90Y-EDTMPwere <95% for no-carrier-added as well as carrier-added 90y. The biodistribution of no-carrier-added and carrier-added 90Y-EDTMPcomplexes in rats was identical. The results indicate that 90y (carrier-added)-edtmp is also an effective bone pain palliation agent because of its rapid blood clearance, greater uptake in bones and little absorption in soft tissues.
