The aim of this study was to establish the in vivo uptake and tissue distribution of (sup)99mTc-MDP-encapsulated Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) post administration. Radioactive (sup)99mTc-MDP encapsulated into SLNs was administered to rats to trace their biodistribution through imaging and ex vivo studies. As expected IV injected (sup)99mTc-MDP exhibited predominant visual bone uptake and a high localisation of particles in the kidneys (3.87%ID/g) followed by bone (2.66%ID/g). IV administered 99mTc-MDP encapsulated by SLN showed similar uptake than (sup)99mTc-MDP. Orally administrated (sup)99mTc-MDP showed no uptake in any organs except the GI-tract while orally administered (sup)99mTc-MDP-SLN showed distinct transfer of (sup)99mTc-MDP from the GI tract with measurable levels in the kidneys and bone.
