The effects of replacement of radioiodide with radiobromide on the biological properties of a model vinyl halide substituted tellurium fatty acid have been evaluated. The use of a facile radiobromination method involving the reaction of (/sup 82/Br)Br/sub 2/ with vinylmercuric bromide substrates has been investigated. Unexpectedly, both the cis- and trans- vinyl bromide products are formed as confirmed by chromatographic and spectral studies. With use of this technique, (E,Z)-1-(/sup 82/Br)bromo-13- iodo-1-tridecene was prepared and used as the substrate to prepare (E,Z)- 18-(/sup 82/Br)bromo-5-tellura-17-octadecenoic acid (13-E,Z), which was evaluated in rats. Both (/sup 82/Br)-13-E,Z and (/sup 82/Br)-13-Z, prepared by an established procedure using N-chorosuccinimide-Br- reaction with the trans-boronovinyl substrates, showed tissue distribution properties similar to those of (E)-18-(/sup 125/I)iodo-5-tellura-17-octadecenoic acid. These results demonstrate that replacement of I with Br and also the stereochemistry about the olefinic bond do not drastically affect heart uptake and retention.
