Bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals are potential therapeutic tools for bone marrow ablation in patients with multiple myeloma. In this procedure, estimation of radiation absorbed dose received by the target and non-target organs is one of the most important parameters that should be undertaken. This research revolves around the absorbed dose to human organs after 90Y-BPAMD injection.
90Y-(4-{[(bis(phosphonomethyl))carbamoyl]methyl}-7,10-bis(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododec-1-yl) acetic acid (90Y-BPAMD) complex was successfully prepared under optimised conditions. The human absorbed dose of the complex was estimated based on the biodistribution data on rats using the radiation-absorbed dose-assessment resource method. The target to non-target absorbed dose ratios for the complex was compared with the ratios for 166Ho-DOTMP, as the main radiopharmaceutical for bone marrow ablation.
As expected, the highest amounts of absorbed dose were observed in the bone surface and the bone marrow with 2·52 and 2·29 mGy/MBq, respectively. The red marrow to the most organ absorbed dose ratios for 90Y-BPAMD are much higher than the ratios for 166Ho-DOTMP.
90Y-BPAMD has interesting characteristics compared with 166Ho-DOTMP and can be considered as a high potential agent for bone marrow ablative therapy of the patient with multiple myeloma.
