| abstract |
There are provided polychelants and their metal chelates which are useful in diagnostic imaging and in radiotherapy and which comprise a plurality of macrocyclic chelant moieties, e.g, DOTA residues, conjugated to a polyamine backbone molecule, e.g, polylysine. To produce a site-specific polychelate, one or more of the macrocyclic chelant carrying backbone molecules may be conjugated to a site-directed macromolecule, e.g. a protein. |
