Summary

Using gel chromatography two different 99mTc-PPi complexes (complex I and II) were observed under various pH-values. In neutral medium complex II was the main product while in acidic or alkaline media complexes

I and II were formed. Our results related to the organ distribution in mice revealed that complex II

is a bone-seeking agent whereas complex I concentrates in the kidneys.

Zusammenfassung

Bei Anwendung der Gelchromatographie wurden zwei verschiedene 99mTc-PPi-Komplexe (Komplex I und II) bei verschiedenen pH-Werten beobachtet. Im neutralen Bereich war Komplex II das Hauptprodukt, während im sauren oder alkalischen Bereich Komplex I und II gebildet wurde. Anhand der Organverteilung in der Maus konnte gezeigt werden, daß der Komplex II ein knochensuchendes Agens ist, während Komplex I sich in der Niere anreichert.
