The present invention provides a compound represented by general formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, precursor, or solvate thereof, and a use thereof in the preparation of a
drug for diagnosing
diabetic nephropathy. General formula (I), wherein X is selected from carbon or
nitrogen; R1 is selected from
hydrogen or
alkyl; R2 is one or more substituents on the
benzene ring or the
pyridine ring, and R2 is independently selected from one or more of
hydrogen,
halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, nitro, amino, C1-C6
alkyl, C3-C6 cycloalkyl, C2-C6 alkenyl, C2-C6 alkynyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, C3-C6 cycloalkoxy, C1-C6 alkylamino, C3-C6 cycloalkylamino, halo C1-C6
alkyl, halo C3-C6 cycloalkyl, halo C1-C6 alkoxy, halo C3-C6 cycloalkoxy, halo C1-C6 alkylamino, halo C3-C6 cycloalkylamino, C6-C8
aryl, or C5-C8 heteroaryl, and in these substituents represented by R2, at least one atom or the entire
substituent is replaced by a
radionuclide. The
drug and method for diagnosing
diabetic nephropathy according to the present invention relate to non-invasive diagnosis technology and have the advantages of causing less pain to a subject and having less contraindications.
