摘要:
Novel paramagnetic metal ion chelates and their use as contrast agents in the diagnostic technique known as "magnetic resonance imaging" (M.R.I.) of the gastrointestinal tract and particularly of the liver, are described. The novel compounds result from the conjugation of a bile acid with a chelating agent and are capable of chelating the ions of bivalent and trivalent metals. The compounds have formula A-L-B in which A is the residue of a bile acid and derivatives of a bile acid, B is the residue of a chelating agent of a bivalent or trivalent metal ion having an atomic number of 20 to 31, 39, 42, 43, 44, 49, 57 to 83, L is a ligand between A and B.
摘要:
A new and improved method for extending the half life of pharmaceutical compounds for use in diagnostic imaging or therapy uses a novel linker to attach a diagnostic or therapeutic moiety to a targeting peptide or another diagnostic or therapeutic moiety. The resulting compound may have the general formula M-N—O—P-Q, wherein M is the diagnostic or therapeutic moiety, N—O—P is the linker of the present invention, and Q is the targeting peptide. In another embodiment the compounds may have the formula M-N—O—P-M, wherein M is independently a diagnostic or therapeutic moiety and N—O—P is the linker of the invention. Methods for imaging or treating a patient using the compounds of the invention are also provided. Methods and kits for preparing a diagnostic imaging agent from the compound are further provided. Methods for radiotherapy of a patient using the compounds are further provided, as are methods for preparing a radiotherapeutic agent from the compounds.
