1
UNII Q461L7AK4R - IOBENGUANE I-131
 

Iobenguane is similar in structure to the neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE) and is subject to the same uptake and accumulation pathways as NE. Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) are tumors of neural crest origin that express high levels of the NE transporter on their cell surfaces. Following intravenous administration, iobenguane ¹³¹I is taken up and accumulates within pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma cells, and radiation resulting from radioactive decay of ¹³¹I causes cell death and tumor necrosis.
