Technetium (99mTc) exametazime (trade name Ceretec) is a drug used for the detection of altered regional cerebral perfusion in stroke[1] and other cerebrovascular diseases, and for the labelling of leucocytes to localise intra-abdominal infections[2] and inflammatory bowel disease[3].
The drug consists of two of the three stereoisomers of exametazime (hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime, HMPAO), the one shown and its enantiomer.[4] (The third is the meso form.) Exametazime acts as a chelating agent for the radioisotope technetium-99m.
