Abstract:
The present invention provides nucleic acid aptamers binding to the Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1), derivatives and conjugates thereof and their use as diagnostic tools, particularly for the imaging of organs and tissues expressing ICAM-1, or as therapeutic agents for prevention or treatment of ICAM-1-related diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention provides new polypeptide derivatives binding to Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) and their conjugates thereof, and to their use as a diagnostic agent, particularly for early detection, patient stratification and treatment monitoring of forms of cancer characterized by over-expression of HER2.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a NIR fluorescent probe comprising an aza-bicycloalkane based cyclic peptide labelled with a Cy5.5 dye moiety in the fluorescence- guided surgery of pathologic regions and to an optical imaging method that comprises using this fluorescent probe for the identification and demarcation of tumor margins during the surgical resection.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a macrocyclic gadolinium complex and a water-soluble polyarylene additive useful in diagnostic imaging as diagnostic agents, in particular as contrast agents, specifically in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) comprising: a) a solid lipid core comprising at least a glyceride and/or at least a fatty add; b) a mixture of amphiphilic components forming a shell around said core a); c) an alkaline-earth complex with a compound of formula I and/or II: d) at least a fluorescent dye selected from: a cyanine fluorescent dye and/or a polyetherocyclic compound selected from: coumarin, pyrano, quinoline, pyranoquinoline, indole and pyranoindele derivates in acid form or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. These nanoparticles allow a prolonged blood circulation half-life, show enhanced photostability and improved fluorescence signal. The dye is preserved from degradation and improves the fluorescent quantum yield.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a sample for dynamic nuclear polarization which comprises submitting a solid substrate to a milling process in the presence of a polarizing agent at a temperature lower than the glass-transition temperature (Tg) of said substrate. Preferably said substrate may be in crystalline form.

Abstract:
The present invention provides nucleic acid aptamers binding to the Carbonic Anhydrase IX (CA-IX) enzyme, derivatives and conjugates thereof and their use as diagnostic tools, particularly for the imaging of organs and tissues expressing CA-IX, or as therapeutic agents for prevention or treatment of CA-IX related diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel substituted ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid bisamide derivatives, their complexes with Mn(II) ion and the use thereof as contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) analysis.
