Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a technetium-99m complex of the general formula ##STR1## wherein Z is a sulphur atom or an amino group of the general formula R 17 --N--(R 18 ) k , in which k is 0 or 1 and R 17 and R 18 have the same meanings as the symbols R 1 -R 16 ; each of the symbols R 1 -R 16 is individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, straight or branched, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl having 1-4 carbon atoms, and ACOOH, wherein A is a straight or branched, unsubstituted or substituted alkly group having 0-4 carbon atoms; and R 5 together with R 6 or R 9 together with R 10 additionally may form an oxygen atom; Tc represents technetium-99m; t is 0 or 1; and n is 0 or 1; with the provisos that (a) if R 15 , R 16 , R 17 and/or R 18 are/is ACOOH, A is a straight or branched, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms; (b) at least one of the symbols R 1 -R 18 is ACOOH; and (c) if t is 1, at least two of the symbols R 1 -R 18 are ACOOH; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of this compound. The invention further relates to a radiopharmaceutical composition comprising said complex, to the use of this composition for examining the renal function, and to a kit for preparing such a composition.
