Pancreas accumulation of radioiodinated HIPDM in mice and rats

High pancreatic affinity for /sup 131/I-labeled HIPDM was observed in mice and rats. Although the brain uptake of (/sup 131/I)HIPDM is very fast, the pancreatic uptake is rather slow. The pancreas to liver ratios are higher than those obtained with routinely used pancreatic agent (/sup 75/Se)selenomethionine. An increase in liver uptake and decrease in pancreatic uptake was observed at higher dose of carrier HIPDM, which resulted in lower pancrease to liver ratios. HIPDM is a new type of compound which shows predilection for pancreas. Our results suggest that (/sup 123/I)HIPDM might be a useful agent for pancreas imaging.
