From: Discovery of Radioiodinated Monomeric Anthraquinones as a Novel Class of Necrosis Avid Agents for Early Imaging of Necrotic Myocardium

Figure 4

TTC staining images and autoradiographs of eight tracers from mice sacrificed 24 h after administration.

On the TTC-stained images, the necrotic muscles remained pale whereas normal muscles were stained brick red. The high radioactivity uptakes (in red) primarily appeared in necrotic regions on autoradiograms, which were in accordance with pale areas on TTC staining images. (a–h) were represented 131I-1-hydroxyanthraquinone, 131I-alizarin, 131I-danthron, 131I-rhein, 131I-aloe-emodin, 131I-chrysophanol, 131I-emodin and 131I-physcion, respectively.
