Abstract

Ethylcystein dimer (ECD) was synthesized by dimerizatlon of L-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid in liquid ammania with sodium metal and successive esterification in ethanolic solution of hydrogen chlorde. The purified product was labeled with $^{99m}Tc$ in the presence of sodium glucarate(pH= 5.6) and stannous chloride. Best result was obtained from the preparation con sisting of 0.1mg ECD, $40{\mu}l$ of 0.4M sodium glucarate (pH=5.6), and $20{\mu}g$ of stannous chloride. The labeling efficiency was 90% with previous condition. The labeled $^{99m}Tc$-ECD was stable at least for 3 hours in PBS(pH=7.4) at room temperature. About 10mCi of $^{99m}Tc$-ECD was injected to normal volunteer, and SPECT image of brain was obtained by triple head camera 10 minutes after inection. The image showed similar distribution of radioactivity in brain with that of HMPAO image.
