Optimization of the Pharmacokinetic Profile of [<sup>99m</sup>Tc]Tc-N<sub>4</sub>-Bombesin Derivatives by Modification of the Pharmacophoric Gln-Trp Sequence

Current radiolabeled gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) ligands usually suffer from high accumulation in GRPR-positive organs (pancreas, stomach), limiting tumor-to-background contrast in the abdomen. In novel N<sub>4</sub>-bombesin derivatives this was addressed by substitutions...
