Title: Iodine-125-labeled estradiol: a gamma-emitting analog estradiol that binds to the estrogen receptor

Journal Article · · Science; (United States)

17..beta..-(16..cap alpha..-/sup 125/I)Iodoestradiol has been synthesized by exchange of 16..beta..-bromoestradiol with Na/sup 125/I. The iodinated product is readily separated from the bromo reactant by column chromatography. It concentrates in the rat uterus in vivo and binds avidly and specifically to the uterine estrogen receptor in vitro.
