W. Stahl et al., TECHNETIUM-99M LABELING OF ANTIBODIES USING METHYLPHOSPHONYLATED, BIFUNCTIONAL CYCLAMS AS CHELATORS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(21), 1994, pp. 2597-2600
Cyclam based bifunctional chelators are used for antibody labelling. T
he antibody conjugate 7, containing the unmodified macrocycle, shows o
nly slow complexation kinetics. The introduction of methylphosphonic a
cid groups into the cyclam (9) significantly enhances the complexation
kinetics.
