 99MTC(III) myocardial imaging agents and method of use

Details
Inventors: Woulfe, Steven R.; Deutsch, Edward A.; Dyszlewski, Mary M.; Neumann, William L.;
Assignee: Mallinckrodt Medical, Inc. (St. Louis, MO)
Primary Examiner: Maples; John S.

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Hey; David A.

A myocardial imaging agent for use in humans comprising a Tc(III) complex ligated in a planar position by a tetradentate ligand having incorporated therein four hard atoms and two furanone rings and in the axial positions by phosphines containing dioxanyl or ether moieties. The agent exhibits improved biodistribution, improved labeling and extremely rapid blood clearance following administration to a human. The agent has high myocardial uptake accompanied with exceptionally rapid hepatobilary clearance and extensive renal clearance to give sufficiently high heart/liver and heart/lung ratio that provide nearly ideal myocardial images in humans.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The technetium compounds of the present invention which have been found most useful as myocardial imaging agents in humans comprise hexadentate technetium complexes having an overall cationic charge.
More specifically the agents comprise technetium complexes in the 3+oxidation state coordinatively bonded to six atoms as shown in FormuIa 1.
