The myocardial perfusion agent technetium (2-carbomethoxy-2-isocyano-propane)6+ (99mTc-CPI) is unique from other cationic technetium isonitrile complexes in that it exhibits moderate washout from the heart and rapid hepatobiliary clearance in animal models and human volunteers. Dynamic imaging and HPLC analysis were performed in humans and guinea pigs to outline the pharmacological basis of its pharmacokinetics. Enzymatic hydrolysis of the terminal ester groups in blood was found to occur at a moderate rate producing new species that have been shown not to accumulate in heart tissue. However, after extraction by the heart, liver or kidneys, the 99mTc-CPI complex undergoes metabolism at a much slower rate than observed in the blood. Differences in hydrolysis rate and products obtained indicate separate mechanisms of hydrolysis occurring in blood and other organs. It is proposed that the heart washout occurring after hydrolysis produces a neutral compound which is no longer retained by the negative cytosolic and mitochondrial membrane potentials in myocardial tissue.
