A cyclic peptide GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist containing the N-Me A
rg-Gly-Asp motif has been derivatized with the technetium chelating hy
drazinonicotinyl group (Hynic). The Hynic derivative, and the Tc-99 di
azenido complex, retain the high receptor affinity of the parent pepti
de. The Tc-99m complex shows high thrombus uptake, and rapid clearance
of background, producing excellent images in under 1 h. (C) 1997 The
