Abstract

Radiolabeled fatty acids as myocardial metabolic agent are used for detecting ischemic heart disease, however, no 99mTc-labeled fatty acids have potential use in clinical diagnosis. In this work, five fatty acid analogues labeled with 99mTc were firstly synthesized and characterized, their biological behaviors were investigated. All Radiotracers had good stability when incubated in rat serum for 3 h at 37 °C. 99mTc -CpT-12-ODPPA (8b) showed higher initial myocardial uptake (8.17% ID/g at 1 min postinjection) and good heart/blood ratio (2.58 at 30 min postinjection). 99mTc-11-dpa-OUFA (2b) as positively charged lipophilic compounds had reasonable heart uptake (5.59% ID/g at 1 min postinjection) and good retention (1.89% ID/g at 60 min postinjection). Unfortunately, no great improvement was obtained by the five 99mTc-labeled fatty acid analogues for the short myocardial retention and poor heart/liver ratios.
