Abstract
Abstract Novel propylene amine oxime ligands have the formula where each of R,, R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 or R 8 may be hydrogen, hydrocarbon, carboxyl, amine, amide or nitrile, provided that, if R, is the same as R 9 and R 2 is the same as R 7 , then R a is not H. These unsymmetrical ligands form complexes with Technetium-99m which are capable, on injection into mammals, of crossing the blood-brain barrier and of being retained in the brain for a time to permit diagnosis.
