Abstract

Abstract A composition of matter having the following general formula ##STR1## wherein L represents 2-hydroxy isobutyric acid. This composition of matter is useful in improving the reaction efficiency or yield when bonding rhenium to a chelating ligand preferably a polydentate sulfur, selenium, phosphorous or nitrogen ligand. This provides a method to bond radioactive rhenium to various chelating ligands for a radiopharmaceutical. Further, this also provides a method to bond a radioactive rhenium to a protein such as a monoclonal antibody. This in turn provides a method to provide beta emitting radiation to cancer cells.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 78 words
A method of bonding rhenium 186 or rhenium-188 to a chelating ligand comprising forming a complex Re(O)L 1 -L 4 - X + wherein L 1 -L 4 represent 2-hydroxy isobutyric acid and X is an anion and reacting said Re(O)L 1 -L 4 - X + with a chelating ligand selected from the group consisting of multidentate ligands having chelating moieties selected from the group consisting of sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorous, arsenic, selenium, isonitrile, oxygen and combinations thereof.
