To find a /sub 99m/Tc agent with a high renal extraction efficiency similar to (/sup 131/)hippuran, 21 analogs of DADS were labeled and evaluated. Preliminary screening by serial gamma camera imaging in rabbits showed that most analogs had a higher liver uptake and/or slower renal clearance, than hippuran. Three agents (P-DADS, AP-DADS, and CAP-DADS), exhibiting a relatively rapid blood clearance and lower liver uptake in the rabbit, were studied in greater detail in comparison with hippuran and CO/sub 2/-DADS-A, the best analog to date. In the rat, the plasma clearance of the four DADS analogs was slower that that of hippuran. In the dog, there was marked hepatic retention of the four DADS compounds. In volunteers, serial posterior images obtained with these (/sup 99m/Tc)DADS complexes showed significant hepatic as well as renal activity. The 1-hr plasma clearance and urinary excretion were much lower than with simultaneously injected hippuran. Although these /sup 99m/Tc agents are satisfactory for imaging the kidneys, they closely mimic the biodistribution of hippuran only in the rabbit, and not in the rate, dog, or man.
