Summary for Patent: 4,789,736

Title:	Complexes of technetium-99m with propylene amine oximes
Abstract:	A family of propylene amine oxime ligands has the formula 2 ##STR1## wherein preferably R.sup.1 is Cl-C4 alkyl or phenyl and each of R, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 is H or Cl-C4 alkyl. The technetium-99m complexes of these ligands are lipophilic neutral complexes useful as diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals and particularly for brain scanning. The ligands show stereoisomerism. The preparation and properties of the dl- and meso-stereoisomers, and of the d- and l-enantiomers, are described. The l-enantiomer and the dl-stereoisomer of the preferred compound (2, R=R.sup.1 =R.sup.2 =CH.sub.3, R.sup.3 =R.sup.4 =H) show good retention in the brain.
Inventor(s):	Canning; Lewis R. (Herts, GB2), Nowotnik; David P. (Bucks, GB2), Neirinckx; Rudi D. (Bucks, GB2), Piper; Ian M. (Herts, GB2)
Assignee:	Amersham International plc (Bucks, GB2)
Application Number:	06/838,558
Patent Claims:	1. A lipophilic macrocyclic complex, useful as a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical, of technetium-99m with a propylene amine oxime ligand having the formula: ##STR9## said complex being in the form of a single stereoisomer or a mixture of stereoisomers. 2. The complex according to claim 1 wherein the ligand is the dl-diastereoisomer. 3. The complex according to claim 1 wherein the ligand is the l-enantiomer. 4. The complex according to claim 1 wherein the ligand is the d-enantiomer. 5. A propylene amine oxime ligand having the formula: ##STR10## said ligand being in the form of a single stereoisomer or a mixture of stereoisomers. 6. The ligand according to claim 5 which is the dl-diastereoisomer. 7. The ligand according to claim 5 which is the l-enantiomer. 8. The ligand as claimed in claim 5 which is the d-enantiomer. 9. The complex according to claim 1, having the formula: ##STR11##
