A new hexaazamacrobicyclic cage ligand, 1-N-(4-aminobenzyl)-3,6,10,13,16,19-hexaazabicyclo[6.6.6]eicosane-1,8-diamine (SarAr) has been designed for conjugation to proteins. SarAr was synthesised and characterised by microanalyses, H-1 NMR and electrospray mass spectrometry. The complexation of selected transition metal ions (Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) at 10(-6) M) by SarAr was complete within 30 min over pH 6 to 8. The [Cu-64(SarAr)](2+) complex was investigated with a view to applications in radioimaging. The [Cu-64(sar)](2+) complex was found to be stable in human plasma for at least 174 h and biodistribution studies in mice, showed that the [Cu-64(SarAr)](2+)complex was rapidly excreted through the renal system unlike the free Cu-64(2+). Overall, the simple synthesis, ready complexation behaviour of SarAr, the kineticinertness of the [Cu(SarAr)](2+) complex to dissociation of Cu-64 and its facile elimination from mice make it an attractive prospect for use in nuclear medicine.
