Abstract
Metallothioneins are a special group of low-molecular-weight proteins with metal-binding properties, which make them promising chelators for the development of targeted radiopharmaceuticals, as well as with technetium-99m. The aim of this work was to investigate the biodistribution of 99mTc-metallothionein conjugate (99mTc-MT) in intact mice and compared it with unbound technetium-99m (Na99mTcO4). Low uptake of 99mTc-MT in the thyroid gland (1.20 ± 0.30%/g versus 267.2 ± 59.0%/g for Na99mTcO4) demonstrated high stability of 99mTc-MT in vivo. The 99mTc-MT complex was rapidly eliminated from the bloodstream through the kidneys and was characterized by a reduced uptake in most organs and tissues compared to Na99mTcO4.
