Popis: Dinuclearbisphosphinogold(I) dithiocarbamato, BPDTC, was previously found to have antitumour activity in vitro. 198Au radiolabelled BPDTC (radiochemical yield of 70 ± 6 % and radiochemical purity of[95 %) was used to determine its in vivo biodistribution in Sprague-Dawley rats. Gamma scintigraphs were performed over a period of 48 h and final radioactivity measurements of harvested organs of the test animals after termination was performed at 2, 4 and 48 h. The study successfully showed the biodistribution of the gold complex, with the highest uptake of the compound being observed in the lungs, liver and spleen Nuclear Technologies in Medicine and the Biosciences Initiative (NTeMBI), a national technology platform developed and managed by the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) and funded by the Department of Science and Technology.
