  • Title: Testing of methyleneiminodiacetic-catechol and other aromatic chelating agents for decorporation of 238Pu and 241Am in rats.
    Author: Luo MC, Volf V.
    Journal: Int J Radiat Biol; 1989 Apr; 55(4):679-88. PubMed ID: 2564876.
    Abstract:
    The removal of 238Pu and 241Am by five chelating agents prepared in China was compared in pilot experiments with removal by Ca-DTPA and LICAM(C). The most promising substance is quinamic acid (a methyliminodiacetic polyquinoline derivative, code name 811 or 703-73), especially in combination with Ca-DTPA. However, the best over-all reduction of both 238Pu and 241Am in all the organs studied was achieved by Ca-DTPA-administered at a ten-fold human equivalent dosage.
