摘要:
The present invention provides diagnostic imaging contrast agents which exhibit improved blood retention. The novel compounds comprise: a) an image-enhancing (or signal-generating) moiety (IEM); b) a plasma protein binding moiety (PPBM); and c) a blood half-life extending moiety (BHEM). This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to methods of using the compounds and compositions for blood half-life extension and contrast enhancement of diagnostic imaging. These contrast agents exhibit reduced rates of both renal and hepatocellular uptake and no apparent uptake by the RE system. The agents may be targeted to the blood pool or any other biological component. Since the agent is lost less rapidly from the bloodstream, lower doses can be used at a higher margin of safety. The approach is general to both large and small molecules.
摘要:
The present invention relates to amides that have activity as SlP receptor modulating agents and the use of such compounds to treat diseases associated with inappropriate SlP receptor activity. The compounds may be used as immunomodulators, e.g., for treating or preventing diseases such as autoimmune and related immune disorders including systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, type I diabetes, uveitis, psoriasis, myasthenia gravis, rheumatoid arthritis, non- glomerular nephrosis, hepatitis, Behcet's disease, glomerulonephritis, chronic thrombocytopenic purpura, hemolytic anemia, hepatitis and Wegner's granuloma; and for treating other conditions.
摘要:
Methods and contrast agents for imaging the lymph system are provided. The methods allow the diagnosis and staging of diseases of the lymph system, such as cancer and infections.

摘要:
The invention relates to the objects which are characterised in the patent claims, that is, metal complexes which contain perfluoroalkyl having N-alkyl groups of general formula (I), to a method for the production thereof and to the use thereof in NMR and X-ray diagnosis, radiodiagnosis and radiotherapy, and in MRT lymphography.
摘要:
Methods for assessing ischemic coronary artery disease are provided. The methods include administering a contrast agent that binds to a serum protein component to an animal and obtaining an MR image of the animal's myocardium during a period when the animal is experiencing hyperemia.
