Abstract
Novel propylene amine oxime ligands have the formula ##STR1## where each of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7 or R.sub.8 may be hydrogen, hydrocarbon, carboxyl, amine, amide or nitrile, provided that, if R.sub.1 is the same as R.sub.9 and R.sub.2 is the same as R.sub.7, then R.sub.8 is not H. These unsymmetrical ligands form complexes with Technetium-99m which are capable, on injection into mammals, of crossing the blood-brain barrier and of being retained in the brain for a time to permit diagnosis.
