Iofetamine is a radiopharmaceutical used in nuclear medicine for diagnostic imaging. It is a derivative of amphetamine, with a radioisotope of iodine (typically iodine-123) attached to the molecule. It acts as a tracer for the dopamine transporter (DAT), a protein that is responsible for transporting dopamine back into presynaptic neurons. By binding to DAT, iofetamine allows for the visualization of the distribution and function of dopamine pathways in the brain using techniques such as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Iofetamine is particularly important in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders. It can help to distinguish between Parkinson's disease and other conditions with similar symptoms, such as essential tremor. Iofetamine is also used to evaluate the response to treatment for Parkinson's disease. For example, if a patient's iofetamine uptake is lower after treatment with a dopamine agonist, this may indicate that the treatment is effective. '
Iofetamine: An amphetamine analog that is rapidly taken up by the lungs and from there redistributed primarily to the brain and liver. It is used in brain radionuclide scanning with I-123.
