A composition for use in the preparation of a bone-scanning agent comprises a mixture of a bis-phosphonic acid of formula (I), wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 may be the same or different group selected from H, --SO.sub.3 H and a lower aliphatic group which may optionally contain one or more hetero atoms and which contains at least one --SO.sub.3 H group; R.sup.2 is a group selected from H, --OH, --NH.sub.2, --NHMe, --NMe.sub.2 and lower alkyl optionally substituted by one or more polar groups; R.sup.4 is a group selected from H, --OH, --NH.sub.2 --NHMe, --NMe.sub.2, --SO.sub.3 H and a lower alkyl optionally substituted by one or more polar groups; and n is 0 or 1; with the proviso that when n is 0, R.sup.1 is not H and that when n is 1, R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 cannot both be H; or a non-toxic salt thereof, together with a reducing agent for pertechnetate ions. Technetium-99m, as an aqueous solution of pertechnetate ions, is added to the composition to form a complex of Tc-99m, and the bisphosphonate. The complex is useful as a bone-scanning agent and is rapidly taken up in bone to give scans of high definition.
用于制备骨扫描剂的一种组合物,包括式(I)的双膦酸混合物,其中R.sup.1和R.sup.3可以是相同或不同的基团,选自H,-SO.sub.3 H和可能含有一个或多个杂原子的低级脂肪基团,其中至少含有一个-SO.sub.3 H基团; R.sup.2是选自H,-OH,-NH.sub.2,-NHMe,-NMe.sub.2和低级烷基(可选地被一个或多个极性基团取代)的基团; R.sup.4是选自H,-OH,-NH.sub.2,-NHMe,-NMe.sub.2,-SO.sub.3 H和一个或多个极性基团取代的低级烷基的基团; n为0或1; 假设n为0时,R.sup.1不是H,当n为1时,R.sup.1和R.sup.3不能都是H; 或其无毒盐,以及还原剂对过碘酸根离子。将锝-99m作为过碘酸根离子的水溶液加入组合物中,形成Tc-99m和双膦酸盐的复合物。该复合物用作骨扫描剂,且迅速被骨吸收,产生高清晰度的扫描。
