The organic cation, (E-1-iodo-1-penten-5-yl)triphenylphosphonium iodide (I), shows attractive myocardial uptake and retention in rats and dogs. The effect of modification of lypophilic groups attached to phosphorus and replacement of phosphorus by arsenic on myocardial specificity and retention of radioiodinated cations has now been evaluated. Triphenylarsonium (II, M=As), dicyclohexylphenylphosphonium (III, M=P) and dimethyl-n-octylphosphonium (IV, M=P) cations ((R/sub 3/M/sup +/-(CH/sub 2/)/sub 3/-CH=CH*I)I/sup -/) attached to the E-1-(/sup 125/I)iodo-1-pentenyl group were prepared via NaI-chloramine T iodination of the corresponding vinylboronic acid cation substrates. Compounds I-IV and the respective precursors were analyzed (TLC, NMR, and CandH) and /sup 125/I analogs I-IV were evaluated in rats (5/group). All four agents showed good uptake and retention demonstrating that these structural alterations do not greatly affect the myocardial specificity of these interesting new agents.
