Iodothiouracil
Iodothiouracil exhibits high selectivity for melanoma, remains stable in the melanin in melanoma cells, and localizes remote secondary metastases of melanoma. Iodothiouracil can be used for melanoma imaging when labeled with iodine-123, and can be used for radiation therapy when labeled with iodine-131[1].
