The synthesis of a bifunctional chelating agent (BCA), 1, based on the diaminedithiol (DADT) ligand system, is described. The six-step synthetic sequencehas been accomplished in 16% overall yield, affording 1, which contains a thiolactone as a reactive moiety, which permits direct coupling to nucleo-philes without the formation of byproducts. The reactivity of 1 toward benzylamine and subsequent labeling of the ligand with technetium-99m has beenevaluated as a model for preparation of various bioconjugates. Both coupling and exchange labeling occur in high yield under mild conditions, and competition reactions with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) indicate the superior stabil-ity of the technetium-99m-DADT complex. Preparation of BCA 1 thus provides a new avenue into technetium-labeled radiopharmaceuticals.Technetium-99 m (99mTc) possesses the best character-istics for scintigraphic imaging among currently avail-able radionuclides (1, 2). Its high photon yield per dis-integration ensures good counting statistics and its monoen-ergetic photons (140 KeV) are ideally suited for planar and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) instrumentation. The short half-life of 6.02 h and lack of particulate emissions generallyresult in a low absorbed radiation dose to patients. In addition, 99mTc is inexpensive and is widely available in generator form. Due to these properties, there is considerable interest in developing protein-based radiopharmaceuticals con-taining this radionuclide. Initial methods relied on the native protein to offer direct stabilization for reduced technetium; however, weak nonspecific labeling, colloidal contamination, protein denaturation, and loss of label in vivo can be problematic (2-6). The bifunctional che-late approach, which provides certain advantages (7-9), has been under investigation for the labeling of proteins with 99mTc. However, the bifunctional chelating agents (BCAs) available for use with otherradionuclides have had only limited success with 99mTc. For example, attempts to utilize diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) coupled proteins (10-13) result in labeled prod-ucts which lack sufficient in vitro and in vivo stability
