Abstract
Metaiodobenzyl quanidine was synthesized from metaiodobenzyl amine hydrochloride and cyanamide at different temperatures. The yield was found to be 60-70%. The product was characterized by UV, IR, and NMR spectroscopic techniques. The characterized product was labelled with iodine -131 and labeling efficiency was determined by radio-TLC technique. Labeling yield up to 95% was achieved. Five patient with biopsy proven neuroblastoma were imaged. In two patients intrabdominal primary tumor was successfully localized and a thoracic metastatic site was detected in one of them. MIBG scanning was normal in remaining three patients.
