Abstract
An improved method for the preparation of 99mTc-radiopharmaceuticals containing the TcN multiple bond, in sterile and apyrogen conditions, is described. This method is based on the reaction of [99mTc]pertechnetate with ligands derived from S-methyl dithiocarbazate [H2NN(R)C(S)SCH3 [R = H, CH3], in the presence of HCl and tertiary phosphines. It was found that these derivatives can behave both as sources of nitride nitrogen ions (N3-) and as coordinating ligands. The reaction leads to the formation of intermediate technetium-nitrido complexes in high yield. These intermediate species can be used as suitable prereduced substrates for the preparation of technetium-nitrido radiopharmaceuticals through simple substitution reactions with appropriate exchanging ligands. © 1992.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
