Peptide vectors having high KDR binding affinity and processes for making such vectors are provided. The peptide vectors may be conjugated to phospholipids and included in ultrasound contrast agent compositions. Such ultrasound contrast agents are particularly useful in therapeutic and diagnostic methods, such as in imaging KDR-containing tissue and in the evaluation and treatment of angiogenic processes associated with neoplastic conditions. The present invention also provides processes for the large scale production of highly pure dimeric and monomeric peptide phospholipid conjugates as well as precursor materials used to form the conjugates. The present invention further provides processes for the large scale production of highly pure peptide phospholipid conjugates which contain very low levels of TFA.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel class of diagnostically or therapeutically effective compounds comprising novel peptides able to bind fibrin, to a process for their preparation and to compositions thereof for use in therapy and diagnostics. The compounds of the invention bind, in particular, to fibrin present in the extracellular matrix (EC) of tumor or connective tissue of stroma thus acting as targeting moieties able to bring and successfully bound an active moiety linked thereto to fibrin depositions inside solid tumors.
摘要:
New targeting or therapeutic compounds which can be incorporated into a composition of gas-filled microvesicles. The invention further relates to gas-filled microvesicles for diagnostic and/or therapeutic use comprising said compounds and to their method of use. The new compounds are compounds of formula M-S-T, wherein: M represents a component capable of associating with an envelope of a gas-filled microvesicle; T represents a component comprising a targeting ligand or a therapeutic agent; and S represents a component comprising at least two bissulfone groups.
摘要:
The present invention provides polypeptides, peptide dimer, and multimeric complexes comprising at least one binding moiety for KDR or VEGF/KDR complex, which have a variety of uses wherever treating, detecting, isolating or localizing angiogenesis is advantageous. Particularly disclosed are synthetic, isolated polypeptides capable of binding KDR or VEGF/KDR complex with high affinity (e.g., having a KD

摘要:
Cyclohexylidene compounds of the structure: ##STR1## where X.sup.1 and X.sup.2, which may be the same or different, is hydrogen or a hydroxy-protecting group, and Y is --POPh.sub.2, or --PO (OAlkyl).sub.2, or --SO.sub.2 Ar, or --Si(Alkyl).sub.3. The compounds are used as intermediates in the preparation of 19-nor-vitamin D compounds.
摘要:
The invention is drawn to a compound having the following formula ##STR1## in which X.sup.1 and X.sup.2, which may be the same or different, represent hydrogen or a hydroxy-protecting group, X.sup.4 is hydrogen, A is selected from --COOAlkyl and CH.sub.2 OH, and B is a hydroxy group, or A and B, when taken together, represent an oxo group. These compounds are useful as intermediates in the production of 19-nor vitamin D derivatives.
