The compounds of the present invention comprise a tropane compound or ligand that selectively binds to tropane recognition sites, e.g., neuron transporters such as the DAT. The tropane ligand is radiolabeled with a radioactive technetium or rhenium by a chelating ligand which is attached to the tropane ligand by a linker.Tropane compounds or ligands useful in the pratice of the present invention can generally be represented by formula II where R1 and R2 are defined as above and where R1 can also be substituted at the C4 position of the tropane ring:Any tropane compound of the general formula II is useful in the present invention so long as it binds to DAT.Useful tropane analogs have a 3α-group, i.e., are of the boat configuration.Intermediates for the synthesis of the radiolabeled tropanes are claimed.
本发明的化合物包括一种特定结合到特罗班识别位点的特罗班化合物或配体,例如神经元转运体如DAT。特罗班配体通过连接剂连接到特罗班配体的螯合配体上,用放射性锝或铼进行放射标记。本发明实施中有用的特罗班化合物或配体通常可用以下公式表示,其中R1和R2如上定义,且R1也可取代于特罗班环的C4位置:只要结合到DAT,任何符合上述一般公式II的特罗班化合物在本发明中均有用。有用的特罗班类似物具有3α-基团,即处于船状构型。本发明要求合成放射标记特罗班的中间体。
