SULFUR-PROTECTED MERCAPTOACETYLGLYCYLGLYCYLGLYCINE

摘要

Novel sulfur-protected mercaptoacetylglyclglycl-amino acid ligands are provided that are useful in synthesizing radiopharmaceuticals that can be utilized as renal imaging agents in nuclear medicine. In one aspect, sulfur-protected mercaptoacetylglyclglyclglycine ligands are disclosed. The sulfur-protecting agents are selected from transition metal cations and organic moieties.
