3 Radiopharmaceutical vs. Decorporation Agent Decorporation Agent Injection of Decorporation Agent Radiation Dose risk, effect Unintended Intake of Radionuclide Metabolism Biokinetics

4 Radiopharmaceutical vs. Decorporation Agent Decorporation Agent Injection of Decorporation Agent Lower Radiation Dose risk, effect Unintended Intake of Radionuclide Modified Metabolism Biokinetics

8 Incorporation of Plutonium and Actinides Plutonium and Actinides mainly encountered in the nuclear fuel cycle Other uses: nuclear batteries (Pu-238), smoke detectors (Am-241), Most Isotopes are long-lived alpha-emitters high equivalent doses after incorporation Incorporation during routine handling procedures (workers) Routine monitoring via radiobioassay (24h urine, 24h feces, lung counting) after releases to environment (population) Emergeny monitoring??? Plutonium and Actinides mainly accumulate in Liver and Skeleton ICRP reference biokinetic models for Respiratory tract and Alimentary tract (generic models) Systemic behaviour Dr. Bastian Breustedt Towards a model of DTPA decorporation therapy

9 Incorporation of Plutonium and Actinides Biokinetic models Example: Inhalation of Plutonium Respiratory Tract (ICRP66) Alimentary Tract (ICRP30) m Systemic Model (ICRP67) Dr. Bastian Breustedt Towards a model of DTPA decorporation therapy Taken from: A.C. James et al., Radiat Prot Dosim, Vol.127, Nos 1-4, p (2007)

James et al., Radiat Prot Dosim, Vol.127, Nos 1-4, p (2007)

11 Decorporation Therapy with DTPA DTPA (Diethylene Triamine Pentaacetic Acid) Principle: masking of metal ions In-vivo formation of stable complexes (chelates) Chelates are rapidly eliminated via urine Application: Intakes of Plutonium and Transuranium Elements i.v. infusion of salts of Ca-DTPA or Zn-DTPA Enhancement of urinary excretion for several days reduction of body burden

17 Biokinetic modeling of DTPA therapy Requirements: Understanding of Undisturbed Radionuclide biokinetics Physiological (interpretation of biokinetic) models Biokinetics of injected forms of DTPA and chelates In-vivo chelation process Location (Intracellular Decorporation?) Competitors (bioligands and metals) and their influence Future Research Needs Studies of (undisturbed) biokinetics of radionuclides Understanding and modeling of physiological processes behind biokinetics Dedicated in-vitro and animal studies (e.g. CEA studies with rats) Studies of in-vivo chelation process Data from inside the system autopsy data (e.g. USTUR) Future option: Optimization of ligands for chelation therapy
