Abstract
Two new technetium complexes containing a piperidine template have been synthesized and evaluated as possible leads for the development of dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging agents. Binding data for the corresponding rhenium complexes containing either a monoaminomonoamide (MAMA') or a diaminodithiol (DADT) chelating unit exhibited significant affinity for the DAT. Initial biodistribution studies in rats revealed only a low brain uptake.
