The paper attributes the higher activity of TNT-b10 over TNT-a10 to changing the positions of the hydroxyl and amino groups; this is a matched structural comparison under the study's formulation conditions.

Literature-reported performance for the cited formulation
Additional reported findings
The optimized PEGylated formulation produced strong liver and spleen signal, with a spleen-biased signal after IV administration.
