Description

In an attempt to prepare a new class of tracers for SLND, the radiolabelling of mannosylated dextran derivatives containing the tridentate pz diamine and cysteine chelators for stabilization of the organometallic core fac-[99mTc(CO)3]+ are reported. This chapter demonstrates the optimization of the labelling conditions to achieve high radiochemical purity and specific activity. These results are of paramount importance for the biological properties of the compounds, namely their mannose receptor targeting properties. (author)
