摘要:
The present invention provides novel radiopharmaceuticals useful for the diagnosis of infection and inflammation, reagents and kits useful for preparing the radiopharmaceuticals, methods of imaging sites of infection and/or inflammation in a patient, and methods of diagnosing diseases associated with infection or inflammation in patients in need of such diagnosis. The radiopharmaceuticals bind in vivo to the tuftsin receptor on the surface of white cells which accumulate at the site of infection and inflammation. The radiopharmaceuticals are also useful for imaging tumors and treating the cancer by delivering a cytotoxic dose of radiation to the tumors. The radiopharmaceuticals of the present invention are comprised of one to three pentapeptides, X?1X2X3X4X5¿, independently attached to a metal chelator or bonding moiety, C¿h?, to which is attached a Tc-99m, Re-186, or Re-188, optionally further comprising a linking group, Ln, between the peptides and the chelator or bonding moiety. The pentapeptide sequence binds to the tuftsin receptor and is attached at the N-terminus to Ln or Ch. The interaction of the pentapeptide recognition sequences of the radiopharmaceuticals with the tuftsin receptor on white blood cells results in localization of the radiopharmaceuticals in sites of infection and inflammation, and in tumors.

摘要:
This invention relates to the detection of patients at risk for developing integrin antagonist/agonist mediated disease states. This invention also relates to assays useful for the detection in a patient bodily fluid sample of drug-dependent antibodies (DDABs) that bind to integrins in the presence of an integrin agonist and/or antagonist, and to procedures for identifying integrin antagonists/agonists that are less prone to elicit integrin antagonist/agonist mediated disease states. This invention also relates to procedures which increase the recovery of integrin-directed antibodies in body fluids, resulting in an increased sensitivity and specificity of DDAB detection assays and to procedures for treating blood samples, which dissociate antibodies to GPIIb/IIIa from the platelet surface, thereby increasing the recovery from the platelet supernatant. This invention also relates to the use of different GPIIb/IIIa preparations to identify patients at risk for early-onset thrombocytopenia upon treatment with GPIIb/IIIa antagonist/agonists, thereby increasing the specificity of antibody detection.

摘要:
The present invention concerns an improved process for the preparation of asymmetric cyclic ureas as well as intermediates in the preparation of asymmetric cyclic ureas of formula (VI): wherein: R7 is selected from the following: C¿1?-C8 alkyl substituted with 0-3 R?11; C¿2-C8 alkenyl substituted with 0-3 R11; C2-C8 alkynyl substituted with 0-3 R11; and a C¿3?-C14 carbocyclic ring system substituted with 0-3 R?11; R10 is C1-C10¿ alkyl, benzyl, naphthylmethyl, 3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl, or C¿1?-C4 alkyl substituted with phenyl wherein said phenyl is substituted with 0-3 R?10a¿; G taken together along with the oxygen atoms to which G is attached forms a group selected from: -O-C(-CH¿2?CH2CH2CH2CH2-)-O-, -O-C(CH2CH3)2-O-, -O-C(CH3)(CH2CH3)-O-, -O-C(CH2CH2CH2CH3)2-O-, -O-C(CH3)(CH2CH(CH3)CH3)-O-, -O-CH(phenyl)-O-, OCH2O-, -OC(CH3)2O- and -OC(OCH3)(CH2CH2CH3)O-. In the process, a diamine of formula (I-a) is selectively monoacylated to give an asymmetric monoacylated diamine which can be converted into asymmetric intermediates. The asymmetric intermediates can be further alkylated, cyclized, and/or modified to give compounds which are useful as HIV protease inhibitors for the treatment of HIV infection. The invention allows for scalable preparation of a wide variety of asymmetrical cyclic ureas.
