Ethanaminium, 2-((hydroxy((18-(4-(iodo-131I)phenyl)octadecyl)oxy)phosphinyl)oxy)-N,N,N-trimethyl-, inner salt
Iodine I 131 Iopofosine is 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.
