RADIOISOTOPE LABELLED ANTAGONISTS OF THE PLATELET RECEPTOR GPIIB/IIIA AS VISUALISING AGENTS IN DIAGNOSING THROMBOTIC/EMBOLIC DISEASES

摘要

This invention provides novel radiopharmaceuticals that are radiolabeled cyclic compounds containing carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring systems which act as antagonists of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex; to the methods of using said radiopharmaceuticals as imaging agents for the diagnosis of arterial and venous thrombi; to novel reagents for the preparation of said radiopharmaceuticals; and to kits comprising said reagents.
