Article Synopsis
  • New methods have been created to easily synthesize two cyclic bifunctional chelates, DOTHA2 and NOTHA2, which have hydroxamate groups.
  • These chelates effectively bind to the radioisotope (64)Cu at room temperature, demonstrating rapid reactions across different concentrations and pH levels.
  • The resulting radiochemical complexes are highly stable, show minimal leftover activity in tissues, clear quickly from normal mice, and can be attached to both small peptides and large proteins.
