- COMPOSITIONS FOR TARGETED IMAGING AND THERAPY
-
The present invention relates to the field of radiochemistry, nuclear imaging, radionuclide therapy and chemical synthesis. More particularly, it concerns a strategy for radiolabeling target ligands. It further concerns methods of using those radiolabeled ligands for imaging, radionuclide therapy and tissue-specific disease imaging.

- Formation constants for complexes of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,7-diacetic acid and the crystal structure of its nickel(II) complex
-
The crystal structure of the nickel(II) complex of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,7-diacetic acid (H2doda) has been determined. The ligand binds in a cis-octahedral fashion through the four nitrogen atoms and two carboxylate groups and dimerizes via an apparently symmetrical hydrogen bond from the non-bonding oxygen of a carboxylate group to a lone hydrogen ion originating from a perchloric acid molecule of crystallization. Carbon-13 NMR studies of the corresponding zinc(II) complex indicated that it has a similar structure. pKa Measurements for doda, at 298.2 K in 0.1 mol dm-3 NEt4ClO4, suggested that the two secondary amines are the first to protonate followed by the two carboxylates and then the two tertiary nitrogen atoms. A marked disparity in the magnitude of the pKa values for the two carboxylic groups [4.00(1) and 2.36(3)] suggests that internal hydrogen bonding between the two stabilizes one of the protons. Formation constants for some divalent metal complexes (Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd or Pb) of H2doda have been determined. The results from this work are compared to data for analogous macrocycles having three or four carboxymethyl groups.

- A General Synthesis of 1,7-Disubstituted 1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecanes
-
1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane reacts regioselectively in acid solution with several chloroformates to give 1,7-diprotected derivatives which could be alkylated and deprotected to afford 1,7-disubstituted 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecanes.
