How Holmium Ho-166 DOTMP works

There are two important components of 166Ho-DOTMP. The first is DOTMP, a chemical that collects in bones. The other component of 166Ho-DOTMP is radioactive holmium, abbreviated 166Ho. 166Ho is a radioactive particle that is bound to the DOTMP. Certain types of cells in the body, such as many cancer cells, are sensitive to radioactivity and can be killed if they are close to a radioactive particle such as 166Ho. These properties make 166Ho-DOTMP a potentially useful drug for the treatment of cancers in the bone. When the drug collects in the bone, it will expose cells there to 166Ho, killing cancer cells.
