iodine I 131 iopofosine

A radioconjugate composed of iopofosine, a phospholipid ether analog, labeled with the radioactive isotope iodine I 131, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, iodine I 131 iopofosine selectively accumulates in and retains within tumor cells for a prolonged period of time due to the decreased activity of a phospholipase D (PLD) in tumor cells compared to normal cells, thereby delivering cytotoxic radiation specifically to tumor cells. PLD is an enzyme found in the cell membrane of normal cells that degrades phospholipids.
