Abstract

To develop a companion set of RGD-based agents for diagnostic and radiotherapeutic purposes, facile incorporation of 99mTc (CO) 3 or 188Re (CO) 3 into the same precursor produced, respectively, a structurally and functionally matched radiodiagnostic and radiotherapeutic—or theranostic—pair. This work presents the synthesis of two 99mTc- labeled RGD monomers (4 and 5) along with a 99mTc-labeled RGD dimer (6) and an ...
