Technetium 99m (
99mTc)-NC100692 is being developed as a marker of vitronectin receptor expression. The purpose of this study was to confirm the binding affinity [dissociation constant (Kd)] of
99mTc-NC100692 for a range of integrin receptors including
vβ
3 and
vβ
5 as well as to establish the biodistribution and metabolic stability of
99mTc-NC100692 in Wistar rats.
