A rapid iodination method has been developed for the synthesis of the new STI-labeled phosphonium cation ((E)-1-iodo-1-penten-5-yl)triphenylphosphonium iodide by I treatment of the corresponding trans-vinylboronic acid. This new model myocardial perfusion agent is obtained after purification in 25-50% yield in <1 h. High myocardial uptake (5 min, 2.38% dose/g) with prolonged retention (3 h, 2.21% dose/g) was observed in rats. In addition, heart/blood ratios were high and continued to increase over a 1-day period (5 min, 17:1; 60 min, 23:1; 3 h, 27:1, 1 day, 158:1). In rats, the liver uptake was moderate (5 min, 1.40% dose/g; 60 min; 0.25% dose/g). Excellent myocardial images were obtained in a dog. 22 references, 1 figure, 2 tables.
