A family of hexadentate Fe(II) chelators having marked antiproliferative activity against tumor cells is disclosed. The cytotoxic metal chelators and complexes of the present invention are represented by the general formula below: wherein: X1, X3, and X5 are N, O or S, wherein the X1, X3, and X5 atoms are at the 1, 3, and 5 positions of a cyclohexyl group and are in a cis, cis disposition; B, B′, and B″ are aliphatic, branched aliphatic, or aryl groups, or any combination thereof, wherein the number of atoms between X and Y is about 2 to about 4; Y, Y′ and Y″ contain N, O, or S atoms that originate from either aliphatic, branched aliphatic, aryl, or heterocyclic groups, or any combination thereof, and/or Y, Y′ and Y″ are NH2 or NHR, OH, or SH, CO2H, P(O)(OH)2, RP(O)OH, ROP(O)OH groups or a combination thereof, and R is H, aliphatic, branched aliphatic, or aryl groups, or any combination thereof that may or may not be identical in Y, Y′ and Y″; s, s′, and s″ are 0 to about 2; and t, t′, and t″ are 0 to about 2. Application of the metal chelators of the present invention as chemotherapeutic agents is also disclosed.
摘要:
Small dendrimer-based MRI contrast agents are disclosed to accumulate in renal tubules. The accumulation enables visualization of renal structure and function, permitting assessment of structural and functional damage to the kidneys. In a disclosed embodiment, six, small dendrimer-based MRI contrast agents were synthesized, and their pharmacokinetics, whole body retention, and renal MRI images were evaluated in mice. Surprisingly, despite having unequal renal clearance properties, all of the dendrimer agents clearly visualized the renal anatomy and proximal straight tubules of the mice better than Gd-[DTPA]-dimeglumine. Dendrimer conjugate contrast agents prepared from PAMAM-G2D, DAB-G3D, and DAB-G2D dendrimers were excreted rapidly and may be acceptable for use in clinical applications.

摘要:
Disclosed are methods of preparing a macromolecular conjugated ligand and a metal complex thereof. The metal complex is targeted for use as a contrast agent, for example, in MRI. The method of preparing a macromolecular conjugated ligand comprises: (a) providing a compound of formula (I) wherein R, A, and Pg are as defined herein, (b) reacting the compound of formula (I) with a macromolecular compound (e.g., dendrimer) in an organic solvent medium which is substantially free of water to obtain a macromolecular conjugated compound, and (c) removing the carboxyl-protecting groups to obtain a carboxyl-deprotected macromolecular conjugated compound. The metal complex can be prepared by reacting the carboxyl-deprotected macromolecular conjugated compound with an ion (e.g., Gd(III)). Also disclosed are two carboxyl-protected 1B4M-DTPA intermediate compounds.
