Rhenium and technetium complexes containing a hypoxia-localizing moiety

摘要

Novel methods, processes and metal complexes attached to a hypoxia-localizing moiety comprisinga metal, preferably radionuclide of rhenium or technetium;a hypoxia-localizing moiety; and,a complexing ligand, wherein said ligand and said radionuclide combined have cell membrane permeabilities greater than that of sucrose, are disclosed.
