Abstract:
Novel phosphate-bearing prodrugs of sulfonyl hydrazines have the formulas I, II, III and IV. Pharmaceutical compositions and uses thereof in the treatment of cancer are claimed. The aforementioned prodrugs include enantiomers, stereoisomers and tautomers thereof, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates and metabolites from all stages. The aforementioned prodrugs are preferentially activated in hypoxic tumors and can be given either alone, or in combination with other anticancer agents or with phototheraphy or radiotherapy. Where R=C1-10 alkyl, or C1-10 haloalkyl (preferably containing no more than 5 halogen groups, preferably 2-chloroethyl); R′ and R″ are independently C1-10 alkyl, or C5-20 aryl or heteroaryl (preferably methyl); R1 is H, C1-10 alkyl, C1-10 alkoxyl, C5-20 aryl or heteroaryl or C5-20 aroxyl or heteroaroxyl (preferably methyl and ethyl); X is O, NH, or NR (preferably O); Y is (CH2)n, O(CH2)n, NH(CH2)n, NR(CH2)n, OCOO(CH2)n, NHCOO(CH2)n; n is 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (preferably n=2 and 3); or Y=aryl or heteroaryl (preferably para-phenyl); A=CH, or N (preferably CH); and B=CH═CH, O, S, NH, or NR (preferably CH═CH); or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, polymorphs or metabolites, thereof.
Abstract:
A magnetic resonance imaging scanner includes a generally cylindrical main magnet assembly (10) that defines a cylinder axis (16). A first set of shims (60) are rigidly positioned inside the magnet assembly (10) at about a first distance (d1) relative to the cylinder axis (16). A second set of shims (62) are rigidly positioned inside the main magnet assembly (10) at about a second distance (d2) relative to the cylinder axis (16). The second distance (d2) is different from the first distance (d1). A generally cylindrical radio frequency coil (26) is arranged inside the main magnet assembly (10) at about a third distance (d3) relative to the cylinder axis (16). A plurality of gradient coils (20) are arranged inside the main magnet assembly (10) at about a fourth distance (d4) relative to the cylinder axis (16).
