99m Tc is the radionuclide of choice for nuclear medicine imaging by SPECT. Because of the nuclear properties,<br />

complexes containing the monovalent 99m Tc(CO)3 + core and chelating organic ligands received special attention<br />

as radiopharmaceutical precursors [1]. The aim of this study is to find novel ligands, which form stable<br />

complexes with the Tc(CO)3 + cation and after further functionalization could serve as precursors for the<br />

synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals of the 2 nd generation.<br />

In the presentation we show our preliminary results on application of the tricarbonyltechnetium(I) complexes as<br />

therapeutic agents. Recently it was found, that technetium-99m nuclide is an Auger electron emitter and if<br />

located in the close proximity of the cancer cell nucleus can induce the DNA strand breaks [2]. Such<br />

requirements fulfill group of compounds being so called ‘2+1' or ‘3+0' complexes (see, Scheme 1).Please<br />

margins on the A4 page.<br />

Scheme 1. 99mTc(CO)3+ ‘2+1' complex containing the biguanide ligand<br />

Presented work describes our recent studies on rhenium (non radioactive congener of technetium) and<br />

technetium-99m complexes with the biguanide and thiourea derivatives as the ligands in order to prepare new<br />

agents for targeted radiotherapy.<br />
