Development of a hydroxamamide-based bifunctional chelating agent to prepare technetium-99m-labeled bivalent ligand probes

Abstract Hydroxamamide (Ham) is a thiol-free chelating agent that forms technetium-99m (99mTc)-complexes with a metal-to-ligand ratio of 1:2 under moderate reaction conditions. Therefore, Ham-based chelating agents will produce 99mTc-labeled compounds with a bivalent targeting scaffold. For their un...
