摘要:
There are provided polychelants and their metal chelates which are useful in diagnostic imaging and in radiotherapy and which comprise a plurality of macrocyclic chelant moieties, e.g, DOTA residues, conjugated to a polyamine backbone molecule, e.g, polylysine. To produce a site-specific polychelate, one or more of the macrocyclic chelant carrying backbone molecules may be conjugated to a site-directed macromolecule, e.g. a protein.

Magnetic resonance imaging contrast media used to affect the relaxation times of atoms in body tissues undergoing NMR diagnosis are disclosed. Such media comprise (1) a paramagnetic, physiologically compatible complex of (a) a chelant consisting of a N-carboxy methylated tetraazacyclododecane, and (b) a paramagnetic ion of a lanthanide element of atomic numbers 59-70, or of a transition metal of atomic numbers 21-29, 42 or 44, or a physiologically compatible salt of such a complex, and (2) a toxicity-reducing amount of labile calcium ions. The labile calcium ions can be derived from a source other than a salt of said chelant, e.g. an inorganic or organic calcium salt. NMR image-enhancing compositions comprising NMR image-enhancing effective amounts of said contrast media and pharmaceutically acceptable diluents are also disclosed.
