Abstract

Biodistribution studies of a water-soluble radioactive metallofullerene compound have been conducted using BALB/c mice. To this end, a sample containing Ho x @C 82 (x = 1, 2) was purified and derivatized to prepare the water-soluble metallofullerol, Ho x @C 82 (OH) y . This metallofullerol was then neutron-activated ( 165 Ho[n,γ] 166 Ho) to prepare the 166 Ho x @C 82 (OH) y analog as a radiotracer, which was monitored, after intravenous administration, for up to 48 hours by using dissection radioanalysis, and its biodistribution was compared with a control compound, Na 2 [ 166 Ho(DTPA)(H 2 O)]. Results showed selective localization of the 166 Ho x @C 82 (OH) y tracer in the liver but with slow clearance, as well as uptake by bone without clearance. In contrast, excretion of the control compound was nearly quantitative after 1 hour. The fate of 166 Ho was also explored by a metabolism study of 166 Ho x @C 82 (OH) y in Fischer rats. Results indicated 20% excretion of intact 166 Ho x @C 82 (OH) y within 5 days. The present findings demonstrate the feasibility of using water-solubilized metallofullerene radiotracers to monitor the fate of fullerene-based materials in animals, and suggest that water-solubilized fullerene materials, in general, may be useful components in drug design.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
