Description: TITLE TERNARY LIGAND COMPLEXES USEFUL AS RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS FIELD OF INVENTION The present invention provides novel radiopharmaceuticals useful for imaging the heart, brain, lungs, liver or kidneys, kits useful for preparing the radiopharmaceuticals, and methods of imaging the heart, brain, lungs, liver or kidneys in a patient in need of such imaging . BACKG DTTm DF THE INVENTION Radiopharmaceuticals form the chemical basis for the medical specialty of nuclear medicine, a group of techniques used for diagnosis and therapy of a variety of diseases. In vivo diagnostic information is obtained by intravenous injection of the radiopharmaceutical and determining its biological distribution using a gamma camera. The distribution usually takes a form that is organ or lesion specific. From the distribution of the radiopharmaceutical and its behavior over time, it is possible to obtain information about the presence, progression and state of a disease. Radiopharmaceuticals useful for imaging the heart based on homoleptic Tc-99m-isonitrile complexes have been described by Jones et. al. in U.S. Patent 4,452,774 and Bergstein et. al. in U.S. Patent 4,988,827. Radiopharmaceuticals based on technetium-99m complexes of binary ligand systems have been described by Bergstein et. al. in U.S. Patent 5,279,811 for imaging the brain, Kelly et. al. in U.S. Patent 5,045,302 for imaging the heart, Nosco in U.S. Patent 5,330,738 for imaging the kidneys , as well as others . A recent review of radiopharmaceuticals based on metal radionuclide complexes is provided by Jurisson et. al., Chem. Rev. 1993, 93, 1137. The biological properties of metal radionuclide complexes are determined by their chemical and physical properties, such as lipophilicity and charge, as opposed to conjugates of a metal radionuclide complex and a biologically active molecule in which the biological properties of the conjugate are determined by the biologically active molecule. The chemical and physical properties of the complexes are determined by the ligand system used and the choice of the substituents on the ligand or ligands. Therefore, for any particular ligand system, the choice of substituents will control the biological properties of the complex and the ultimate utility as a radiopharmaceutical. An example of this effect is the fact that the Tc-99m complex of N,N'-1,2- ethylenediyl-bis-L-cysteine diethyl ester (ECD) is a brain imaging agent while the Tc-99m complex of N,N'-1,2- ethylenediyl-bis-L-cysteine (EC) , in which the two ester groups are replaced by carboxylic acid groups, is a renal imaging agent. For metal radionuclide complexes with a homoleptic ligand system, such as the Tc-99m-isonitriles, Tc(CNR) 6 + , a change in the substituent, R, is replicated six times, making it difficult to precisely control the chemical and physical properties of the complexes . For complexes comprised of a binary ligand system the substituents can be independently changed on the two types of ligands, giving somewhat better control . Superior control of the properties should be achievable for complexes comprised of a ternary ligand system in which the substituents on the three types of ligands can be independently varied. However, as the order of the ligand system increases the probability of forming complexes of one single stoichiometry is expected to decrease. Archer et. al . , European Patent Application 90914225.9 describes a series of technetium-99m complexes having a ternary ligand system comprised of a hydrazido or diazenido ligand, a phosphine ligand and a halide, in which the substituents on the hydrazido or diazenido ligand and those on the phosphine ligand can be independently varied; the halide ligand has no substituents. This disclosure does not teach or suggest how to achieve the superior control of biological properties that would result from a ternary ligand system in which the substituents on the three types of ligands can be independently varied. Another important consideration for any radiopharmaceutical is specific activity, the amount of the radiopharmaceutical present in a dosage to the amount of unlabeled excess ligand or ligands used to synthesize the radiopharmaceutical. High specific activity is required when one or more of the ligands are either potentially toxic, very expensive to manufacture, or may compete with the radiopharmaceutical for a binding site in vivo, to minimize the amount of excess ligand in the dosage administered. The radiopharmaceuticals described by Archer et. al. are formed in low specific activity. Therefore, there remains a need for new radiopharmaceuticals comprised of a ternary ligand system for which the substituents on all three ligands can be independently varied and that can be formed in high specific activity. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides novel radiopharmaceuticals useful for imaging the heart, brain, lungs, liver or kidneys, kits useful for preparing the radiopharmaceuticals, and methods of imaging the heart, brain, lungs, liver or kidneys in a patient in need of such imaging.

The radiopharmaceuticals can be formed in high specific activity, ate stable in vitro, and their biological properties can be tailored by the selection of substituents on the three ligands .

A "reducing agent" is a compound that reacts with the radionuclide, which is typically obtained as a relatively unreactive, high oxidation state compound, to lower its oxidation state by transferring electron (s) to the radionuclide, thereby making it more reactive. Reducing agents useful in the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals and in diagnostic kits useful for the preparation of said radiopharmaceuticals include but are not limited to stannous chloride, stannous fluoride, formamidine sulfinic acid, ascorbic acid, cysteine, phosphines, and cuprous or ferrous salts. Other reducing agents are described in Brodack et. al., PCT Application 94/22496, which is incorporated herein by reference. The term "ligand" as used herein refers to a molecule or group of atoms that bonds to a metal ion through one of more of its constituent atoms, termed donor atoms. The term "donor atom" refers to the atom directly attached to a metal by a chemical bond. The term "ligand precursor" as used herein refers to a ligand in which one or more of its donor atoms bear a protecting group. A hydrazone is a precursor for a hydrazine ligand. A "diagnostic kit" or "kit" comprises a collection of components, termed the formulation, in one or more vials which are used by the practicing end user in a clinical or pharmacy setting to synthesize the radiopharmaceutical. The kit provides all the requisite components to synthesize and use the radiopharmaceutical except those that are commonly available to the practicing end user, such as water or saline for injection, a solution of the radionuclide, equipment for heating the kit during the synthesis of the radiopharmaceutical, if required, equipment necessary for administering the radiopharmaceutical to the patient such as syringes and shielding, and imaging equipment. A "buffer" is a compound that is used to control the pH of the kit during its manufacture and during the synthesis of the radiopharmaceutical . A "lyophilization aid" is a component that has favorable physical properties for lyophilization, such as the glass transition temperature, and is added to the diagnostic kit to improve the physical properties of the combination of ail the components of the kit for lyophilization. A "stabilization aid" is a component that is added to the radiopharmaceutical or to the diagnostic kit either to stabilize the radiopharmaceutical once it is synthesized or to prolong the shelf-life of the kit before it must be used. Stabilization aids can be antioxidants, reducing agents or radical scavengers and can provide improved stability by reacting preferentially with species that degrade other components or the radiopharmaceutical. A "solubilization aid" is a component that improves the solubility of one or more other components in the medium required for the synthesis of the radiopharmaceutical. A "bacteriostat" is a component that inhibits the growth of bacteria in the diagnostic kit either during its storage before use of after the kit is used to synthesize the radiopharmaceutical . The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" as used herein means that a component is sufficiently sterile, apyrogenic and of such a chemical and physical form to be safely administered to a mammal, preferably a human. The radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention have the formula ML 1 L 2 L 3 , wherein M represents the transition metal radionuclide and L 1 , L 2 and L 3 represent three different ligands that are coordinated to the metal radionuclide. These complexes are thus comprised of a ternary ligand system with a 1:1:1 ligand stoichiometry. These complexes can be formed in high specific activity, have high stability in vitro, and their chemical and biological properties can be readily tailored to the desired radiopharmaceutical application by the selection of the ligands L 1 , L 2 and L 3 . The transition metal radionuclide is selected from the group: technetium-99m, rhenium-186 and rhenium-188. For diagnostic purposes Tc-99m is the preferred isotope. Its 6 hour half-life and 140 keV gamma ray emission energy are almost ideal for gamma scintigraphy using equipment and procedures well established for those skilled in the art. The rhenium isotopes also have gamma ray emission energies that are compatible with gamma scintigraphy, however, they also emit high energy beta particles that are more damaging to living tissues . These beta particle emissions can be utilized for therapeutic purposes, for example, cancer radiotherapy. The coordination sphere of the radionuclide includes all the ligands or groups bound to the radionuclide. For a transition metal radionuclide to be stable it typically has a coordination number (number of donor atoms) comprised of an integer greater than or equal to 4 and less than or equal to 8; that is there are 4 to 8 atoms bound to the metal and it is said to have a complete coordination sphere. The requisite coordination number for a stable radionuclide complex is determined by the identity of the radionuclide, its oxidation state, and the type of donor atoms. If one ligand does not provide all of the atoms necessary to stabilize the metal radionuclide by completing its coordination sphere, the coordination sphere is completed by donor atoms from other ligands, termed co-ligands, which can also be either terminal or chelating. The radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention are comprised of three ligands, L 1 , L 2 and L 3 . The ligand L 1 is a hydrazido or diazenido ligand having the formula =N-NR 1 R 2 or =N + =NR 1 and results from the coordination of a hydrazine to the metal. A diazenido group can be either terminal (only one atom of the group is bound to the radionuclide) or chelating. In order to have a chelating diazenido group at least one other atom of the group must also be bound to the radionuclide. The ligand L 2 is comprised of two or more hard donor atoms such as oxygen and amine nitrogen (sp 3 hybridized) . The donor atoms occupy at least two of the sites in the coordination sphere of the radionuclide metal. The ligand L 3 is comprised of one to three soft donor atoms selected from the group: phosphine phosphorus, arsine arsenic, imine nitrogen (sp 2 hybridized), sulfur (sp 2 hybridized) and carbon (sp hybridized) ; atoms which have pi- acid character. Ligands L 3 can be monodentate, bidentate or tridentate, the denticity is defined by the number of donor atoms in the ligand. The chemical and physical properties of the radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention, such as their charge and lipophilicity, can be modified by the choice of substituents on the ligands, L 1 , L 2 and L 3 . Substituents that increase the lipophilicity of the complexes are comprised of predominantly carbon-carbon bonds, for example, alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl and cycloalkyl groups. Substituents that increase the hydrophilicity of the complexes are comprised predominantly of nitrogen or oxygen heteroatoms, for example, carboxyl, hydroxyl, sulfonate, phosphonate, as well as others . Substituents that effect the charge of the complexes are comprised of groups that are charged under physiological conditions, for example, carboxyl, sulfonate, phosphonate, and ammonium. The lipophilicity and charge of radiopharmaceuticals determine to a large extent their biological properties , such as the organs in which they concentrate, the rate of clearance from the blood and the route of excretion from the body. For example, Deutsch et. al., U.S. Patent 4,387,087 describes cationic, binary ligand complexes with a lipophilicity measured by the 1-octanol-water partition coefficient of > 0.05 that are useful as hepatobiliary and myocardial imaging agents. Bergstein et. al., U.S. Patent 5,279,811 describes a series of neutral and lipophilic complexes of technetium-9 m useful as brain imaging agents. Also, the relationship between lipophilicity, as measured by HPLC retention time, and route of excretion has been described by Nunn in Nucl. Med. Biol., 1989, 16, 187-190, herein incorporated by reference in its entirety, for a series of Tc-99m labeled iminodiacetic acid derivatives. The ternary ligand complexes of the present invention provide three independent means for affecting their lipophilicity and charge by the choice of the substituents on the three ligands . The ligands L 1 in their uncoordinated or "free ligand" state can be obtained for use in the synthesis of the radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention from commercial sources in the form of a hydrazine or hydrazine derivative or acid salt thereof. In addition, methods for synthesizing hydrazines and their derivatives are well known to those skilled in the art. A number of synthesis methods can be found in March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3rd edition, Wiley-Interscience, herein incorporated by reference. Preferred ligands L 1 are hydrazines wherein the substituent R 1 is aryl or heterocycle. Protected hydrazines or hydrazine derivatives can also be synthesized in the form of a hydrazone. The hydrazone protecting group can be removed either prior to or concomitantly with the synthesis of the radiopharmaceuticals. Exemplary hydrazones include aldehyde or ketone hydrazones having substituents, designated R 26 and R 27 in this application, selected from hydrogen, alkyl, aryl and heterocycle, which can be conveniently synthesized by condensation of the aldehyde or ketone with the hydrazine. When one of the substituents R 26 and R 27 is selected from the group: nitrile, carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid esters, carboxamides , 1-alkenes, 1-alkynes, aryl, unsaturated heterocycle, and unsaturated carbocycle; or the two substituents R 26 and R 27 are taken together to form a ring system, the hydrazones have improved stability. The substituents in the group serve to stabilize the hydrazone by providing a conjugated pi-electron system either as a carbon- carbon double bond or an aromatic ring. Enhanced stability can also be provided by the chelate effect if the substituents are taken together in a ring system. The synthesis and use of hydrazine- derivatized biologically active molecules having these preferred hydrazones with enhanced stability as the protecting group for the hydrazines are described in co-pending U.S.S.N. 08/476,296, herein incorporated by reference. The ligands, L 2 , in their uncoordinated or "free ligand" state are functionalized aminoalcohols or aminocarboxylates having at least one amine nitrogen donor atom. At least one additional nitrogen or oxygen donor atom must be present in the ligand in substituents R 7 through R 13 . A large number of ligands L 2 can be obtained from commercial sources . Examples of ligands, L 2 , include the series of functionalized aminocarboxylates disclosed by Bridger et. al . in U.S. Patent 5,350,837, herein incorporated by reference, that result in improved rates of formation of technetium labeled hydrazino modified proteins. We have determined that certain of these aminocarboxylates result in improved yields and higher specific activity of the radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention. The preferred ligands L 2 are functionalized aminocarboxylates that are derivatives of glycine; the most preferred is tricine (tris (hydroxymethyl)methylglycine) . The ligands L 3 that are comprised of phosphine or arsine donor atoms are trisubstituted phosphines, trisubstituted arsines, tetrasubstituted diphosphines and tetrasubstituted diarsines. The ligands L 3 that are comprised of imine nitrogen are unsaturated or aromatic nitrogen-containing, 5 or 6-membered heterocycles. The ligands that are comprised of sulfur (sp 2 hybridized) donor atoms are thiocarbonyls , comprised of the moiety C=S. The ligands comprised of carbon (sp hybridized) donor atoms are isonitriles, comprised of the moiety CNR, where R is an organic radical. A large number of such ligands are available from commercial sources or can be synthesized by a variety of means known to those skilled in the art. A number of methods for synthesizing phosphines can be found in Kosolapoff and Maier, Organic Phosphorus Com p ounds : Wiley-Interscience: New York, 1972; Vol. 1. Isonitriles can be synthesized as described in European Patent 0107734 and in U.S. Patent 4,988,827, herein incorporated by reference. Preferred ligands L 3 are trisubstituted phosphines and unsaturated or aromatic 5 or 6 membered heterocycles . References for the synthesis of specific preferred ligands can be obtained as follows: Tris (3- sulfonatophenyl) phosphine, sodium salt (TPPTS) was synthesized as described in Bartik et. al., Inorg. Chem., 1992, 31, 2667. Bis (3-sulfonatophenyl)phenylphosphine, sodium salt (TPPDS) and ( 3-sulfonatophenyl) diphenylphosphine, sodium salt (TPPMS) were synthesized as described in Kuntz, E., U.S. Patent 4,248,802. We have disclosed in co-pending U.S.S.N. 08/415,908, and U.S.S.N. 60/013360 and 08/646,886, the disclosures of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety, that radiopharmaceuticals comprised of a biologically active molecule, Q, bearing a chelator or metal bonding unit and one or more ancillary or co-ligands L 3 are more stable compared to radiopharmaceuticals that are not comprised of one or more ancillary ligands, L 3 ; that is, they have a minimal number of isomeric forms, the relative ratios of which do not change significantly with time, and that remain substantially intact upon dilution. The radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention differ from those claimed in these co-pending applications by the absence of the biologically active group, Q, on ligand L 1 . The radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention can be easily prepared by admixing a salt of a radionuclide, a ligand L 1 as a hydrazine or hydrazone, a ligand L 2 , a ligand L 3 , and a reducing agent, in an aqueous solution at temperatures from 0 to 100 °C. When the ligand, L 1 , is a hydrazone, then it must first be converted to a hydrazine, which may or may not be protonated, prior to complexation with the metal radionuclide. The conversion of the hydrazone group to the hydrazine can occur either prior to reaction with the radionuclide or in the presence of the radionuclide In the latter case, the pH of the reaction mixture must be neutral or acidic. Alternatively, the radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention can be prepared by first admixing a salt of a radionuclide, a ligand L 2 , and a reducing agent in an aqueous solution at temperatures from 0 to 100 °C to form an intermediate radionuclide complex with the ligand L 2 then adding the ligands L 1 and L 3 and reacting further at temperatures from 0 to 100 °C. Alternatively, the radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention can be prepared by first admixing a salt of a radionuclide, a ligand L and a ligand L 2 , and a reducing agent in an aqueous solution at temperatures from 0 to 100 °C to form an intermediate radionuclide complex, and then adding a ligand L 3 and reacting further at temperatures from 0 to 100 °C. The total time of preparation will vary depending on the identity of the radionuclide, the identities and amounts of the reactants and the procedure used for the preparation. The preparations may be complete, resulting in > 80% yield of the radiopharmaceutical, in 1 minute or may require more time. If higher purity radiopharmaceuticals are needed or desired, the products can be purified by any of a number of techniques well known to those skilled in the art such as liquid chromatography, solid phase extraction, solvent extraction, dialysis or ultrafiltration. The technetium and rhenium radionuclides are preferably in the chemical form of pertechnetate or perrhenate and a pharmaceutically acceptable cation. The pertechnetate salt form is preferably sodium pertechnetate such as obtained from commercial Tc-99m generators. The amount of pertechnetate used to prepare the radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention can range from 0.1 mCi to 1 Ci , or more preferably from 1 to 200 mCi. The amount of the ligand L 1 used to prepare the radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention can range from 0.01 μg to 10 mg, or more preferably from 0.5 μg to 200 μg. The amount of the ligand L 2 used can range from 0.1 mg to 1 g, or more preferably from 1 mg to 100 mg. The amounts of the ligand L 3 used can range from 0.001 mg to 1 g, or more preferably from 0.01 mg to 10 mg. The amount used will be dictated by the amounts of the other reactants and the identity of the radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention to be prepared. Suitable reducing agents for the synthesis of the radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention include stannous salts, dithionite or bisulfite salts, borohydride salts, and formamidinesulfinic acid, wherein the salts are of any pharmaceutically acceptable form. The preferred reducing agent is a stannous salt. The amount of a reducing agent used can range from 0.001 mg to 10 mg, or more preferably from 0.005 mg to 1 mg. The use of a reducing agent can be omitted if the ligand L 3 can serve as both a reducing agent and a ligand. Ligands, L 3 , that can serve both functions are those comprised of phosphorus or arsenic donor atoms. Another aspect of the present invention are diagnostic kits for the preparation of the radiopharmaceuticals useful as imaging agents. Diagnostic kits of the present invention comprise one or more vials containing the sterile, non- pyrogenic, formulation comprised of a predetermined amount of the ligands L 1 , L 2 and L 3 and optionally other components such as reducing agents, buffers, lyophilization aids, stabilization aids, solubilization aids and bacteriostats . The inclusion of one or more optional components in the formulation will frequently improve the ease of synthesis of the radiopharmaceutical by the practicing end user, the ease of manufacturing the kit, the shelf-life of the kit, or the stability and shelf-life of the radiopharmaceutical. The one or more vials that contain all or part of the formulation can independently be in the form of a sterile solution or a lyophilized solid. Buffers useful in the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals and in diagnostic kits useful for the preparation of said radiopharmaceuticals include but are not limited to phosphate, citrate, sulfosalicylate, and acetate. A more complete list can be found in the United States Pharmacopoeia . Lyophilization aids useful in the preparation of diagnostic kits useful for the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals include but are not limited to mannitol, lactose, sorbitol, dextran, Ficoll, and polyvinylpyrrolidine (PVP) . Stabilization aids useful in the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals and in diagnostic kits useful for the preparation of said radiopharmaceuticals include but are not limited to ascorbic acid, cysteine, monothioglycerol , sodium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, gentisic acid, and inositol. Solubilization aids useful in the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals and in diagnostic kits useful for the preparation of said radiopharmaceuticals include but are not limited to ethanol, glycerin, polyethylene glycol, propyiene glycol, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, sorbitan monooleate, polysorbates , poly (oxyethylene) poly (oxypropylene) poly (oxyethylene) block copolymers (Pluronics) and lecithin. Preferred solubilizing aids are polyethylene glycol, and Pluronics. Bacteriostats useful in the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals and in diagnostic kits useful for the preparation of said radiopharmaceuticals include but are not limited to benzyl alcohol, benzalkonium chloride, chlorbutanol, and methyl, propyl or butyl paraben. The amounts of each component in the formulation are determined by a variety of considerations that are in some cases specific for that component and in other cases dependent on the amount of another component or the presence and amount of an optional component. In general, the minimal amount of each component is used that will give the desired effect of the formulation. The desired effect of the formulation is that the practicing end user can synthesize the radiopharmaceutical and have a high degree of certainty that the radiopharmaceutical can be safely injected into a patient and will provide diagnostic information about the disease state of that patient. The radiopharmaceuticals are administered by intravenous injection, usually in saline solution, at a dose of 1 to 100 mCi per 70 kg body weight, or preferably at a dose of 5 to 50 mCi . Imaging is performed using known procedures . Detailed procedures for imaging various organs in the body, including the heart, brain, lungs, liver and kidneys, and diagnosing diseases affecting those organs from the images can be found in Early and Sodee, Principles and Practice of Nuclear Medicine, 2nd edition, Mosby-Year Book, Inc., 1995, herein incorporated by reference.

Utility The radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention are useful as imaging agents for the heart, brain, lungs, liver and kidneys . A canine imaging and biodistribution model was used to evaluate the radiopharmaceuticals of Examples 5 and 7. Canine Imaσinσ Model Adult beagle dogs of either sex (9-13 kg) were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (35 mg/kg, i.v.) and ventilated with room air via an endotracheal tube (12 strokes/min, 25 ml/kg) . For arterial pressure determination, the right femoral artery was cannulated with a saline-filled polyethylene catheter (PE-240) and connected to a Statham pressure transducer (P23ID; Oxnard,CA) . Mean arterial blood pressure was determined via damping the pulsatile pressure signal. Heart rate was monitored using a cardiotachometer (Biotach, Grass Quincy, MA) triggered from a lead II electrocardiogram generated by limb leads. All parameters were monitored continuously on a polygraph recorder (model 7D Grass) at a paper speed of 10 mm/min or 25 mm/sec. The right femoral vein was cannulated (PE-240) for drug administration. A control blood sample was collected for hematology analysis on an MCA210 (APTT, PT) , K1000 (cell number) , and Chrono Log Aggregometer (collagen induced platelet aggregation) . Blood samples were also collected immediately after infusion, 30, 60, and 120 minutes post infusion. Samples of blood were retained for blood clearance determination at control, immediately following infusion, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes post infusion. Administration of test article was given no earlier than 20 minutes post surgery. The test article was administered as a lOcc slow infusion over 5 minutes . Images were acquired by a gamma camera over 5 minutes and taken during infusion, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes post infusion (Digital Dyna Camera, Picker International, Cleveland, OH) . At the end of the protocol the animal was euthanized with an overdose of pentobarbital and a biodistribution performed. The samples collected for biodistribution (muscle, liver, kidney, bile, spleen, heart, lung thyroid, and urine) and the blood clearance samples were weighed and the amount of activity determined via a gamma well counter (LKB 1282, Wallac Inc) . The radiopharmaceutical of Example 7 was evaluated in the canine imaging model . The rapid clearance from the blood of the radiopharmaceutical is readily apparent as is the predominantly renal excretion. At 120 min post-injection, the vast majority of the radiopharmaceutical is located in the bladder and very little remaining in the blood, the muscle or other organs. This pattern of distribution and excretion is very favorable for renal function studies. The radiopharmaceutical of Example 5 was also evaluated in the canine imaging model . Rapid blood clearance is again readily apparent but the excretion is predominantly hepatobiliary, a pattern very favorable for imaging the hepatobiliary system. The radiopharmaceutical of Example 5 differs from that of Example 7 in that the sulfonate substituents on the phosphine ligand, L 3 , and the carboxamide substituent on the ligand, L 1 , are absent. The absence of the sulfonate substituents renders the radiopharmaceutical neutral in charge and the absence of both the sulfonate groups and the carboxamide group renders it more lipophilic than the anionic radiopharmaceutical of Example 7. These differences account for the dramatically different biological properties of the two complexes, and thus demonstrates the superior ability to control the biological properties of the radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention. Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims , the invention may be practiced otherwise that as specifically described herein.
