Popis: The acid-base equilibria of a novel hepatobiliary imaging agent, 2,4-diiodo-6-methylphenylcarbamoylmethyl iminodiacetic acid (DIIODIDA) were studied. The potentiometrically determined acidity constants of the second carboxylic group, amino and amide groups were pK2 = 2.52 ± 0.02; pK3 = 5.86 ± 0.06 and pK4 = 10.9 ± 0.1. The determinations were performed at 25 ºC and an ionic strength of 0.1 mol/dm3 (NaCl). The acidity constants (pK1 = 1.3 ± 0.4) corresponding to the first carboxylic group was determined indirectly, on the basis of equilibrium constants obtained in a heterogeneous system, at 25 ºC and an ionic strength 1 mol/dm3 (HCl, NaCl). DIIODIDA was labeled with technetium-99m, and the influence of pH on the yield of labeling was investigated. It was found that labeling within the pH range from 5.5 to 6.5 provided a radiopharmaceutical of high radiochemical purity (>98 %).
