Concn.-dependent coordination to H2dedpa of either 68Ga or 67Ga showed quant. conversion to the desired products with ligand concns. as low as 10-7 M. With 68Ga, specific activities as high as 9.8 mCi nmol-1 were obtained without purifn. In a 2 h competition expt. against human apo-transferrin, [67Ga(dedpa)]+ showed no decompn. Two bifunctional versions of H2dedpa are also described, and these both coordinate to 67Ga at RT within 10 min. Complete syntheses, characterizations, labeling studies, and biodistribution profiles of the 67Ga complexes are presented for the new platform chelates.
