2129036 9315771 PCTABS00024 Amide-thiolate ligands having improved metal chelate formation kinetics are disclosed. The ligands include an amine to facilitate rapid formation of an amine-amide-thiolate intermediate complex, followed by transfer of the metal to or conversion of the ligand to a thermodynamically stable amide-thiolate complex. In one embodiment of the invention, the amine is a tertiary amine, or its equivalent, strategically located to facilitate complex formation. In another embodiment of the invention, the amine is part of pyridine containing a lower alkoxy substituent in the 2 or 4 ring position. O-dealkylation occurs upon complexation causing the amine to become a vinylogous amide as part of a thermodynamically stable amide-thiolate complex. The amide-thiolate ligands of the present invention may be used for post formed labeling of biological substances for use in the fields of diagnosis and therapy.
