Gallium citrate ga-67

Gallium citrate Ga 67 is the citrate salt of the radioisotope gallium Ga 67. Although the mechanism is unknown, gallium Ga 67 concentrates in lysosomes and is bound to a soluble intracellular protein in certain viable primary and metastatic tumors and focal sites of inflammation, allowing scintigraphic localization. Ga-67 scintigraphy (GS) cannot differentiate between tumor and acute inflammation. Its therapeutic use is listed as diagnostic agents. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a mineral/inorganic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Neoscan and Gallium-67 citrate. Its PubChem CID is 65430.
