Abstract
A number of d-glucose analogues labelled with either the positron emitter 75 Br (T1/2 =1.6 h) or the single photon emitter 123 I (T1/2 =13.3 h) were studied as potential tracers for glucose utilisation in heart and brain. Of these, 3-deoxy-3-bromo-d-glucose, 3-deoxy-3-iodo-d-glucose, methyl 2-deoxy-2-bromo-ß-d-glucoside and methyl 2-deoxy-2-iodo-ß-d-glucoside showed little uptake of radio-activity into brain and an unfavourable ratio of heart-to-blood and heart-to-lung concentrations.
