Abstract

Compounds according to Formula I and Formula II are potent inhibitors of PSMA. Pharmaceutical compositions may include a complex of a radionuclide and a Formula I compound or a Formula II compound. Methods include using the radionuclide complex of a Formula I compound or a Formula II compound for treating or diagnosis of a disease or a condition associated with PSMA activity.
