Abstract: Phenylacetate has been reported to have a potent anti-proliferative and anti-differentiating effect in
haematological malignancies and in solid tumours at non-toxic concentrations. This study is a preliminary investigation of
131I-radiolabelled 4-iodophenylacetic acid as a potential radiopharmaceutical equivalent. Radiolabelling by isotope
exchange gave a radiochemical yield of 53 ± 6 %, and a radiochemical purity of 97.8 ± 1.2 %, as qualified by HPLC. The
labelled product was used in Sprague Dawley rats and athymic nude (balb/c) mice xenografted with WHCO1 cells (an
oesophageal cancer cell line). Dynamic and static scans were carried out on rats with a SPECT camera to determine the
biodistribution of 4-[131I]-iodophenylacetic acid. No target organ was found after 5 h with fast excretion from all organs
via the kidney into the urine. Ex vivo studies (termination 5 h after injection) were performed in 12 xenograft mice
carrying tumours of 5-8 mm on their right flank. Tumour uptake of 4 + 0.4 % ID/g was recorded with a tumour to
background ratio of 2. As the blood pool still contains high levels of activity after 5 h in mice, increased tumour uptake
may occur at later time points, which might warrant further investigation
