Abstract
Description
Abstract A compound comprising formula I: (I) or formula II: (II); wherein A is aryl or heteroaryl, B is aryl, heteroaryl, or alkyl, and R at each position is independently hydrogen-based, alkyl, or haloalkyl, or two R groups are linked to form a ring. A probe comprising P-FRG or P-HS, wherein P is a probe group, HS is a hydrazone sulfonyl group, and FRG is a first reactive group. A method for diagnosing an individual disease, the method comprising: administering one or more probes; (i) if the one or more probes comprise a hydrazone sulfonyl group, administering one or more compounds comprising an alkenyl or alkynyl group and one or more PET radionuclide groups; or (ii) if the one or more probes comprise a first reactive group, administering one or more compounds comprising a hydrazone sulfonyl group and one or more PET radionuclide groups, and performing PET imaging on the individual.
