  • Publication number: 20110280803
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the synthesis of radioiodinated compounds which is advantageous over prior art methods. Using a hydrazine or an aminoxy in place of a primary amine for indirect radioiodination facilitates a much quicker reaction thus reducing reaction time and increasing the yield. In addition, where there are primary amines in the molecule to be radioiodinated, such as the N-terminus of a peptide or lysine residues, reaction at the hydrazine or aminoxy is greatly favoured.

  • Publication number: 20080286201
    Abstract: The present invention relates to diagnostic imaging agents for in vivo imaging. The imaging agents comprise a synthetic caspase-3 substrate peptide labelled with an imaging moiety suitable for diagnostic imaging in vivo. The invention also provides radiopharmaceutical compositions comprising the imaging agents, together with kits for the preparation of the radiopharmaceuticals. Also described are non-radioactive precursors suitable for the preparation of the imaging agents. The imaging agents are useful for the diagnostic imaging and or therapy monitoring in vivo of various disease states where caspase-3 is involved.
