摘要:
The invention provides compounds comprising a linear, branched or dendrimeric polymer backbone with linked thereto at least one reporter moiety, said polymer backbone comprising a plurality of amine-containing acids. Such compounds may be linked to one or more targeting agents and are useful as therapeutic and diagnostic agents, in particular in medical imaging techniques.
摘要:
Contrast agents comprising microbubble-generating carbohydrate microparticles having a surfactant admixed within the microparticulate structure, with the proviso that the surfactant is not a C10-20 fatty acid, are disclosed. Processes for preparing contrast agents also are disclosed.
摘要:
This invention relates to a set of aqueous marker compositions, each composition having a selected 1/Ti value which is substantially invariant over an at least 10null C. temperature range between 15 and 40null C. and preferably over an at least null2% magnetic field strength range about a selected field strength value between 0.01 and 5T and comprising an aqueous matrix material having a non-zero 1/Ti temperature dependence within said temperature range with distributed therein a first paramagnetic material having a Ti relaxivity which is substantially invariant within said range(s) and/or a second paramagnetic material having within said ranges(s) and T1 relaxivity which has a non-zero temperature dependence of opposite polarity to the temperature dependence of 1/Ti of said matrix material, said set containing a plurality of said compositions with different selected 1/Ti values preferably encompassing at least the range 1.0 to 2.5 snull1, said set preferably comprising at least one said composition containing said second paramagnetic material and at least one said composition containing said first paramagnetic material, where i in Ti is 1 or 2.
摘要:
The invention provides a composition of matter of the formula (I): VnullLnullR where V is an organic group having binding affinity for an angiotensin II receptor site, L is a linker moiety or a bond, and R is a moiety detectable in in vivo imaging of a human or animal body, with the provisos that where V is angiotensin or a peptidic angiotensin derivative or analog then VnullLnullR is other than a non-metal radionuclide substituted peptide (e.g. 125I substituted angiotensin II) and LnullV is other than simply a peptide with a chelating agent amide bonded to a side chain thereof. This composition of matter may be used to image cardiovascular diseases and disorders.
摘要:
A process for the crystallisation of a sterically hindered organic compound from a saturated or supersaturated solution of said compound in a solvent therefor, characterised in that crystallisation is effected under elevated pressure at a temperature above the boiling point of said solution at atmospheric pressure and up to the boiling point of said solution at said elevated pressure.
