This disclosure relates to novel compounds comprising a zwitterionic trifluoroborate prosthetic group which target prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), e.g. in prostate cancer. The compounds have Formula I, wherein each Rl is an anionic group, L is a linker and R2BF3 is - N(R3)2CH2BF3, a pyridinium group substituted with BF3 or methyl BF3, or an azole group substituted with methyl BF3. Methods and uses of imaging and treating PSMA-expressing cancers are also disclosed. |
