Abstract
The present invention relates to zwitterionic metal chelators and their use as imaging, diagnostic, chemical processing, and treatment agents. These zwitterionic metal chelators have desirable properties that maximize solubility in aqueous environments, minimize non-specific interactions, and retain the ability to target thus resulting in an improved performance in a variety of medical, agricultural, and chemical processes. In in vivo and medical applications, zwitterionic metal chelators improve the signal-to-background ratio and therapeutic window as compared to other metal chelators while retaining high stability.
