Abstract
Ligands for radiopharmaceutical use are capable of chelating radiometal species and of being bound to biological targeting molecules. The ligands have formula (a) and (b), where A, A'=--SZ or Y, B.dbd.O or S, Y.dbd. (c), Z.dbd.H or a thiol protecting group, m=2 or 3, n=2 or 3, q=0 or 1, R.dbd.H or unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbon and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, provided that at least one CR.sub.2 group represents CO and forms, together with an adjacent N atom, a --CONR-- amide group. ##STR1##
