Potential tumor- or organ-imaging agents. XXIV: Chylomicron remnants as carriers for hepatographic agents
This paper describes the possible utility of plasma lipoproteins for the site-specific delivery of diagnostic agents. The class of lipoproteins known as chylomicrons was selected for this preliminary study, since they are known to be rapidly metabolized a
Potential tumor- or organ-imaging agents. 23. Sterol esters of iopanoic acid
A series of sterol esters of iopanoic acid was synthesized and evaluated for their potential to selectively localize in liver and steroid-secreting tissues for possible application in either computed tomography or nuclear medicine imaging. Unlike free iop
