Towards nuclear imaging with polynuclear radiotracers : the development of monomeric and dendritic scaffolds for radiometals

A series of 1,4-diaminobutane poly(propylene amine) (DAB-PPI) dendrimer-based ligands were prepared with the aim of developing ligands that will permit the synthesis of multinuclear technetium-99m (99mTc) radiolabeled complexes. The ligands were synthesized by incorporating N,N-donor atom functional...
