Distribution of pimonidazole and RSU 1069 in tumour and normal tissues.

The tritium-labelled analogues of pimonidazole and RSU 1069 were injected into mice bearing the KHT murine sarcoma which has a hypoxic cell fraction of approximately 10%. The distribution of activity at 24 h was recorded using autoradiography and measurement of tissue activity. Autoradiographs with...

Sumario:The tritium-labelled analogues of pimonidazole and RSU 1069 were injected into mice bearing the KHT murine sarcoma which has a hypoxic cell fraction of approximately 10%. The distribution of activity at 24 h was recorded using autoradiography and measurement of tissue activity. Autoradiographs with both drugs showed high activity in particular cells within tumour, eye (melanin-associated cells), eyelid (Meibomian gland), liver (centrilobular area), skin (sebaceous gland and melanin), stomach (squamous area), footpad, oesophagus, labial gland, Zymbal's gland, preputial gland, parotid gland (intralobular ducts) and airway epithelium. These tissues had previously been identified as sites of binding of misonidazole. The measurement of total tissue radioactivity showed significantly higher activity in liver, eyelid (Meibomian gland), oesophageal lining, kidney and labial gland than was found in the tumour.
