Radioiodinated rhodamine-123 (Rh123), potential tumor imaging agent, was injected in mice bearing experimentally-induced tumors to investigate its tissue distribution. Some accumulation of radioactivity was found in tumors; most of it cleared rapidly from the blood after injection. Also, the radioiodinated Rh123 had metabolized to water-soluble species which was excreted in urine and feces.Unlabeled Rh123, on the other hand, accumulated only marginally in the tumors. However, it was found to accumulate significantly in the heart; as much as seventy times the level in blood at 4h post-injection. Accumulation of unlabeled Rh123 increased steadily even at 24 h post-injection; whereas, it cleared rapidly from the blood via the kidney.This finding of selective accumulation of Rh123 in heart could be exploited in synthesizing C-11 and F-18-labeled Rh123 for use in PET studies of the myocardium.
