This report describes synthesis and evaluation of cationic complexes, [Tc-99m(CO)(3)(L)](+) (L = N-methoxyethyl-N,N-bis[2-(bis(3-ethoxypropyl)phosphino)ethyl]amine (L1), N-[(15-crown-5)-2-yl]-N,N-bis[2-(bis(3-ethoxypropyl)phosphino)ethyl]amine (L2) and N-[(18-crown-6)-2-yl]-N,N-bis[2-(bis(3-ethoxypropyl)phosphino)ethyl]amine (L3)) as potential radiotracers for heart imaging. Preliminary results from biodistribution studies in female adult BALB-c mice indicated that the cationic Tc-99m(I)-tricarbonyl complex, [Tc-99m(CO)(3)(L2)](+), has a significant localization in the heart at 60 min post-injection. To understand the coordination chemistry of these bisphosphine ligands with the Tc-99m(I)-tricarbonyl core, we prepared [Re(CO)(3)(L-4)]Br (L4: N,N-bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)ethyl]methoxyethylamine) as a model compound. [Re(CO)3(L4)]Br has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ESI-MS, NMR (H-1, C-13, H-1-H-1 COSY, and H-1-C-13 HMQC) methods, and X-ray crystallography. In solid state, [Re(CO)3(L4)]+ has a distorted octahedron coordination geometry with PNP occupying one facial plane. The chelator backbone adopts a "chair" conformation with phosphine-P atoms at equatorial positions and the amine-N at the apical site. In solution, [Re(CO)(3)(L4)](+) is able to maintain its cationic nature with no dissociation of carbonyl ligands or any of the three PNP donors. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
