This report describes the first successful preparation of a 123mTe-labeled alpha-amino acid as a potential pancreatic imaging agent. Tellurium-123m labeled DL-alpha-amino-gamma-(phenyltelluro)butyric acid was prepared by basic hydrolysis of the radiolabeled 5-[beta-(phenyltelluro)ethyl]hydantoin. The hydantoin was prepared by the reacitron of 123mTe-labeled phenyltellurol, generated by sodium borohydride reduction of diphenyl ditelluride, with 5-(beta-bromoethyl)hydantoin. Tissue distribution studies in rats with the 123mTe-labeled amino acid for periods varying from 30 min to 24 h demonstrated only marginal pancreatic accumulation of radioactivity. The significant result of these studies is that a general synthetic method has been developed for the preparation of 123mTe-labeled amino acids.
