NCIt synonyms : 99mTc-NTP 15-5; [99m]Tc-NTP 15-5; 99mTc-N-(triethylammonium)-3-propyl-[15]ane-N5; Technetium Tc 99m NTP 15-5;
NCIt definition : A radioconjugate consisting of N-(triethylammonium)-3-propyl-[15]ane-N5 (NTP 15-5),
labeled with the gamma-emitting, metastable radioisotope technetium Tc-99 (99mTc),
with potential imaging activity upon SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography).
Upon administration of technetium Tc-99m NTP 15-5, NTP 15-5 targets and binds to proteoglycans
(PGs) present in cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM). This may allow the visualization
of cartilage neoplasms and/or cartilage remodeling in arthritis upon imaging.;
