99mTc bone scanning agents--I. Influence of experimental conditions on the formation and gel chromatography of 99mTc(Sn)pyrophosphate complexes. 1985

J Kroesbergen, and W J Gelsema, and C L De Ligny

The conversion of 99mTcO4- to 99mTc(Sn)pyrophosphate complexes was investigated under various experimental conditions. An increase of the Sn(II) concentration had a beneficial effect, whereas the ligand concentration had little effect. The pH had only a small influence over the range 2-8. Raising the pH to 10 resulted in the partial decomposition of the complexes, which could be reversed by lowering the pH. Furthermore, the occurrence of various complexes was investigated by means of gel chromatography on Biogel P-4 as a function of pH and of the Sn(II) and pyrophosphate concentrations. Four major fractions were found. A single preparation contained, however, no more than two major fractions. The formation of the different complexes was mainly governed by the pH and the ligand concentration. The influence of the eluent on the decomposition and interconversion of the complexes during chromatography was also studied. It appeared to be necessary that the eluent should have the same composition (except for 99mTcO4-) as the reaction mixture.
