Td. Harris et al., TC-99M-LABELED FIBRINOGEN RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS - DESIGN AND SYNTHESISOF CYCLIC RGD PEPTIDES FOR THE DETECTION OF THROMBI, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 6(15), 1996, pp. 1741-1746
Tc-99m labeled derivatives of N-Me-Arg-Gly-Asp containing cyclic pepti
de GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists are potential radiopharmaceuticals
for the diagnosis of thrombosis. The design and synthesis of these pe
ptides are described. These compounds are incorporated in rapidly grow
ing thrombi under both arterial and venous conditions in canine models
. Thrombi are clearly visible in images acquired at 50 min. Copyright
