Description

16-(123I)Iodohexadecanoic Acid is a radiolabeled fatty acid analog specifically designed for diagnostic imaging applications. This compound is critical for non-invasive assessment of myocardial metabolism and function in clinical and research settings. It is primarily utilized by radiopharmacies, nuclear medicine departments, and research institutions specializing in cardiology and metabolic studies.

Application

• Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI): Used as a radiopharmaceutical tracer with Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) to evaluate blood flow to the heart muscle.
• Cardiac Metabolic Studies: Enables the investigation of fatty acid metabolism in the myocardium under normal and pathological conditions, such as ischemia.
• Research Tool in Cardiology: Serves as a key reagent in preclinical research for developing and validating new diagnostic approaches for heart disease.
• Radiopharmaceutical Synthesis: Acts as a crucial intermediate or final active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the preparation of diagnostic kits.
• Clinical Diagnostics: Supports the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiomyopathies.
