NCIt definition : An I 131 radioiodinated synthetic analogue of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine,
manufactured with a proprietary process, with radioisotopic and potential antineoplastic
activities. Cold contaminant-free iobenguane I 131 (MIBG) localizes to adrenergic
tissue and may be used to image or eradicate tumor cells that accumulate and metabolize
norepinephrine. This agent is manufactured using a technology that avoids the production
of unwanted cold contaminants (i.e., carrier molecules), which may cause undesirable
side effects and compete with MIBG for binding on target receptor sites.;
