Siderophores are used as complexing agents. The siderophores are recovered within the process. The method can be used in particular even in the case of low non-ferrous metal concentrations. The method is efficient, environmentally friendly and economical.

Abstract: The present invention describes novel chelators (multidentate ligands) and precompounds for complexation of radiometals and non-radioactive counterparts, for use in radiopharmacy. The invention includes a process and a kit involving such chelators. Active moieties directing to a pharmaceutical target (such as peptides or proteins) can be attached to the chelator very easily via the so called “click-chemistry” forming a triazole-ring moiety. The aromatic triazole-nitrogen itself acts as a new and “soft” nucleophilic site enabling for complexation of various radiometals or non-radioactive counterparts. The chelators are capable of fast complexation at low temperature.
