Pharmaceutical development and practical approach to synthesis of tropantiol radiopharmaceutical ([^99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-1) for diagnostic of neurodegenerative diseases (revie... by E. P. Pavlenko, A. O. Malysheva, A. A. Larenkov

“…Among the formulations based on 99mTc and tropane derivatives proposed for dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging, [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-1 (technetium-99m-labeled tropantiol) is the most effective. Currently, various compositions of the freeze-dried kits for the synthesis of [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-1 have been proposed, facilitating the process of its production in situ, which, together with the availability of technetium-99m generator in a healthcare facility, as well as favorable pharmacokinetics, makes [99mTc]Tc-TRODAT-1 a drug of choice for routine use in clinical practice.Text. …”
