| Abstract | The aim of this work is the development of new radiopharmaceuticals for imaging infection and inflammation in human. Gatifloxacin (fluoroquinolone derivative) and cefepime (cephalosporine derivative) are antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections were investigated to label with one of the most important radioactive isotopes (technetium-99m). The reaction parameters that affect the labeling yield such as substrate concentration, stannous chloride dihydrate concentration, pH of the reaction mixture, and reaction time were studied to optimize the labeling conditions. Maximum radiochemical yield of $^{99m}$Tc–gatifloxacin (90 ± 1.8%) complex was obtained by using 50 μg SnCl$_{2}$·2H$_{2}$O and 2.5 mg gatifloxacin at pH 10 while $^{99m}$Tc–cefepime was prepared at pH 8 with a maximum radiochemical yield of 98 ± 1.4% by adding $^{99m}$Tc to 5 mg cefepime in the presence of 50 μg SnCl$_{2}$·2H$_{2}$O. Biological distribution of $^{99m}$Tc–gatifloxacin and $^{99m}$Tc–cefepime was carried out in experimentally induced infection rats, in the left thigh, using Escherichia coli. Both thighs of the rats were dissected and counted and the ratio of bacterial infected thigh/contralateral thigh was then evaluated. T/NT for both $^{99m}$Tc–gatifloxacin and $^{99m}$Tc–cefepime was found to be 4.5 ± 0.3 and 8.4 ± 0.1, respectively, which was higher than that of the commercially available $^{99m}$Tc–ciprofloxacin. The abscess to normal muscle ratio indicated that $^{99m}$Tc–cefepime could be used for infection imaging. Besides, in vitro studies showed that $^{99m}$Tc–cefepime can differentiate between bacterial infection and sterile inflammation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
