β¦ Synopsis
Recently, technetium-99m (99mTc) labeling of proteins through the use of a bifunctional chelating agent (BCA) has been reported. In previous work, a BCA containing a di(N-methylthiosemicarbazone) (DTS) moiety for 99mTc has offered good potential; however, conjugation with bulky proteins has induced some steric interference in the 99mTc labeling step using the stannous chloride method. In order to minimize this effect, changes in the hydrocarbon chain length (spacer) between the DTS and the protein binding site (carboxyl group), as well as the chemical state of the reducing agent, stannous chloride, were considered of interest. DTS molecules with variable spacer length (n = 0, 2, 4) were synthesized, coupled with human serum albumin and labeled with 99mTc. Also, stannous chloride prepared in different media was evaluated. Validity of the present approach is tested and discussed.

## Abstract A novel and efficient method for preparing ^99m^Tcβcomplexes of radiopharmaceuticals has been developed by reacting [^99m^Tc]pertechnetate with a ligand in the presence of borohydride exchange resin (BER) as a reducing agent. The latter is stable over a wide range of pH (2β11) and thus
Certain 99mTc-labeled derivatives of ethylene diamine substituted in NN', when labeled with 99mTc, have been proposed for studying renal excretion, and others for brain imaging. Ethambutol, a well known antituberculosis drug, possesses a structure very similar to these derivatives. We prepared a com
