AMINO ACID-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS AND DERIVATIVES LABELED WITH HALIDES AND METHOD OF MAKING

摘要

A method of labeling amino acid-containing compounds and derivatives thereof with a halide moiety comprises reacting a nucleophilic moiety on such compounds with a halogenated electrophilic compound. Radioactive halide-labeled amino acid­-containing compounds can be targeted to diseased sites and provide a means to diagnose and/or treat the disease.
