ABSTRACT

A peptide glucuronide (Exorphin C glucuronide) was labeled with 99mTc using glucoheptonate (GH) as a bifunctional chelating agent. Scintigraphic imaging was performed in male Albino rabbits. Exorphin C glucuronide showed rapid and efficient labeling with 99mTc using glucoheptonate as a bifunctional chelate. Results demonstrated that 99mTc-GEG may be a useful new type of glucuronide derivative of peptides for diagnosis of some cancer diseases.
