Active ingredients in V09D

Active Ingredient Description
Selenium ⁷⁵Se tauroselcholic acid

Tauroselcholic acid is a bile acid analogue which shows identical physiological behaviour with naturally occurring bile acid conjugates. At the chemical concentrations and activities used for diagnostic procedures [75Se]tauroselcholic acid does not appear to exert any pharmacodynamic effects. It is used for the investigation of bile acid malabsorption and measurement of bile acid pool loss.

Technetium ⁹⁹ᵐTc etifenin
Technetium ⁹⁹ᵐTc mebrofenin

Mebrofenin is an iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) derivative with no known pharmacologic action at the recommended doses. Technetium Tc 99m mebrofenin is a radioconjugate composed of the iminodiacetic acid derivative mebrofenin bound to an isotope of the synthetic element technetium (Tc). It is used as a hepatobiliary imaging agent.

Technetium ⁹⁹ᵐTc nanocolloid

Technetium ⁹⁹ᵐTc nanocolloid is a colloid formulation of human serum albumin (HSA) labeled with Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) with diagnostic imaging properties. At the chemical concentrations and activities used for diagnostic examinations, nanocolloidal technetium (Tc-99m) albumin does not appear to have any pharmacodynamic activity.

Technetium ⁹⁹ᵐTc phytate
Technetium ⁹⁹ᵐTc rheniumsulfide colloid
Τechnetium ⁹⁹ᵐTc microcolloid
