Technetium Tc-99m medronate

Identification

Summary

Technetium Tc-99m medronate is a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical agent used as a bone imaging agent to delineate areas of altered osteogenesis.

Generic Name
Technetium Tc-99m medronate
DrugBank Accession Number
DB09138
Background

Technetium (99mTc) medronic acid is a pharmaceutical product used in nuclear medicine imaging. It is composed of a technetium ion complexed with medronic acid, a type of bisphosphonate. Like other bisphosphonates used in the treatment of osteoporosis, medronic acid binds to the hydroxyapatite crystals within bone, and in this way localizes the drug to bone for delineation of areas of altered osteogenesis. Following intravenous injection, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is performed to detect the gamma ray emmitted by the decay of Technetium-99m to Technetium-99.

Pharmacodynamics

Not Available

Mechanism of action
Not Available
Absorption

When injected intravenously, Technetium Tc 99m Medronate is rapidly cleared from the blood; about 50% of the dose is accumulated and retained by the skeleton, while the remaining 50% is excreted in the urine within 24 hours. About 10% of the injected dose remains in the blood at 1 hour post-injection, 5% at 2 hours, and less than 1% remains at 24 hours. Following intravenous administration of Technetium Tc 99m Medronate, skeletal uptake occurs as a function of blood flow to bone and bone efficiency in extracting the complex.
