Abstract: The objective of this study is to develop a new potential cardiac blood pool imaging agent. An isonitrile ligand cyclooctylisonitrile(COI) is synthesized and a copper salt[Cu(Ⅰ)(COI) 4BF4] of this ligand is also prepared, the isonitrile and it′s copper salt are characterized by IR and elemental analysis. The complex 99mTcN-COI is prepared by ligand exchange reaction while the complex 99mTc-COI is prepared by a direct labeling method. The results of stability study indicated that both complexes are stable over a period of 6 h at room temperature. The biodistribution of these new complexes in mice indicated that they had significantly different uptake properties in most tissues. But they are all mainly accumulated in blood and maintained in it very good. Especially the T/NT ratios of 99mTc-COI in mice are excellent as a cardiac blood pool imaging agent. Based on its promising properties, the complex 99mTc-COI maybe suitable for cardiac blood pool imaging.
