, (2008/06/13)
A group of functionalized amine chelants having ortho ligating functionality that form complexes with rare-earth type metal ions are disclosed. The chelants possess the general formula STR1 wherein R'1, R'2, R'3, R'4, R'5 and R'6, Z' and X are all defined in the specification. In addition certain of the chelant-radionuclide complexes can be effectively employed in compositions useful as therapeutic and/or diagnostic agents for calcific tumors and/or relief of bone pain.
