Q1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Sm and in dtpa derivatives with high hepatic specificity: in vivo and in vitro studies" ?
Two DTPA derivatives, a mono-amide derivative containing an iodinated synthon, DTPA-IOPsp ( L ) and the ligand DTPA ( BOM ) 1 3 153 31 111 31 ( BOM5benzyloxymethyl ) ( L ), radiolabelled with Sm and In, were studied as potential hepatospecific gamma scintigraphic 2 agents. In vivo studies with Wistar rats show that the main excretory pathway for all the chelates studied is the hepatobiliary system. The La 31 1 and In chelates of L and L show some structural and dynamic differences in aqueous solution, as studied by H NMR spectroscopy.
