Ad. Fortineau et al., Tri-n-octyl[P-32]phosphine oxide. Synthesis and biodistribution via the hepatic artery of rats, J LABEL C R, 42(6), 1999, pp. 527-536
The purpose of this study was to analyse the biodistribution of tri-n-octyl
[P-32]phosphine oxide ([P-32]TOPO) in rats following intrahepatic arterial
injection so as to assess its potential as a radiopharmaceutical for the tr
eatment of hepatic tumours in humans, The retention of [P-32]TOPO remained
high in liver and decreased rapidly in kidney, bone marrow and blood, The s
ynthesis of [P-32]TOPO was performed in a one step procedure from [P-32]POC
l3 and n-octyl magnesium chloride in diethyl ether at 0 degrees C.
