Abstract: Haloaryl compounds are lithiated and thereafter metalated with one of the following organometallic groups: Sn(n-Bu).sub.3 or SnMe.sub.3. The resulting aryltin compound can be transmetalated in site-specific reaction with one of the following organometallic groups: HgX, Hg(OAc).sub.2, BX.sub.3, or BZ.sub.2, wherein X is Cl, Br, or I, and Z is alkyl or alkoxy. The metalated compounds are subsequently radiohalogenated via a demetalation reaction. A functional group suitable for conjugation to protein can be added subsequent or preferably prior to the radiohalogenation.Also compounds of the formula: R.sub.1 -Ar-R.sub.2, wherein R.sub.1 is either a radiohalogen or any one of the organometallic groups stated above, Ar is aromatic or heteroaromatic ring, and R.sub.2 is a short-chain substituent that does not activate the aromatic ring and that bears a functional group, or a precursor thereof, suitable for conjugation to protein under conditions that preserve the biological activity of the protein.

Y is a substituent containing any of the groups described for R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, except that Y cannot be hydrogen, and bearing a functional group suitable for binding to protein under conditions that preserve the biological activity of the protein. The compounds of formulas I and II can be coupled to proteins such as monoclonal antibodies to provide reagents for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Also metalated precursors of compounds I and II, as well as radiopharmaceutical reagent kits containing any of the subject small molecules.

Abstract: A process for recovering At-211 from a target and simultaneously producing an At-211-labeled radiopharmaceutical agent involves introducing volatilized At-211, produced by dry distillation of an irradiated Bi-209 target, into a solution containing a compound that binds the At-211 to form an At-211-labeled radiopharmaceutical agent. The radiopharmaceutical agent may have therapeutic use as is, or may be attached to a targeting protein such as an antibody prior to administation to a patient.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for minimally derivatizing a targeting protein with a radionuclide such that the predominant species of derivatized targeting protein contains one radionuclide group as a single radiolabeled ligand, and whereby the binding characteristics of the targeting protein are minimally affected. There is further disclosed ligands that can chelate a metal radionuclide or bind a halogen radionuclide while providing a means for separating radiolabeled ligand from unradiolabeled ligand.

Abstract: Modified cellular substrates are used as linking groups that are recognized as cellular substrates by intracellular metabolic enzymes. The linking groups function to attach a ligand, such as a drug or radionuclide, to a targeting protein, such as an antibody or antibody fragment. The false substrate structure of the linking groups causes increased cellular retention of the linking group/ligand conjugate because the enzymes used for catabolism of the substrate are inhibited by the false substrate structure of the linking group.

Abstract: Haloaryl compounds bearing a defined functional group or precursor are metalated with either Sn(n-Bu).sub.3 or SnMe.sub.3. The resulting aryltin compound may be transmetalated in site-specific reaction with one of the following organometallic groups: HgX.sub.2, Hg(OAc).sub.2, BX.sub.3, or BZ.sub.3, wherein X is Cl, Br, or I, and Z is alkyl or alkoxy. The stannylated or otherwise metalated compounds are subsequently radiohalogenated via a demetalation reaction.
