Abstract

Conjugates of the putative hypoxia-selective agent 2-nitroimida-zole with bifunctional complexing agents have been prepared and radiolabelled with 111In, 67Ga or 153Gd. Although some evidence for tumour localisation was found control experiments revealed that the gallium and indium labelled complexes of the simple ligand 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-triacetate are themselves promising tumour-imaging agents.
