    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of removal of metal ion impurities, such as calcium, from lanthanide metal complexes of macrocyclic chelators. The method uses a scavenger resin to remove metal ions, displaced from chelator, by an excess of lanthanide ions. Also provided is a method of preparation of MRI contrast agents, from the purified lanthanide metal complex, by the addition of a defined excess chelator.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of preparation of formulations of gadolinium metal complexes of the macrocyclic chelator DOTA, which further comprise a small excess of free DOTA. The method uses controlled conditions such that excess gadolinium is present as a precipitate of gadolinium oxide, with filtration to remove the excess, prior to the addition of a defined excess of DOTA chelator. Also provided is a method of preparation of MRI contrast agents based on Gd-DOTA.

    摘要: The present invention relates to in vivo imaging and in particular to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Provided by the present invention is a pharmaceutical formulation suitable for use in an MRI procedure and which offers advantages over known such formulations. A particular dose of the pharmaceutical formulation of the invention is also envisioned as well as the use of said dose in a method of in vivo imaging. This present invention provides for simultaneous administration of a liver specific agent and a second MR contrast agent that is capable of better/further enhancing the dynamic vascular phase in a patient. The method of the invention has the advantage of simplicity and patient comfort, compared to sequential injections. Furthermore, the method of the invention provides the advantage that it can enable a lower cumulative dose of contrast agents.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of preparation of formulations of lanthanide metal complexes of macrocyclic chelators which further comprise a small excess of free chelator. The method uses a solid phase-bound scavenger chelator to remove excess lanthanide metal ions, prior to the addition of a defined excess chelator. Also provided is a method of preparation of MRI contrast agents, together with solid-phase bound chelator meglumine salts useful in the methods.
