Gallium triacetate（Cat No.:M144198） is a coordination compound with the formula Ga(CH3COO)3. It is derived from gallium, a rare metal with chemical properties similar to aluminum. Gallium triacetate is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It is used in medicine as a gallium-68 radioisotope complex for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. This complex is known as gallium-68 triacetate and is used for imaging neuroendocrine tumors. Gallium triacetate is also being studied for its potential therapeutic applications, including its use in cancer treatment due to gallium’s ability to inhibit tumor growth.
