摘要:
Radiopharmaceuticals consisting essentially of a lipophilic, charge neutral radionuclide complex of a diaminedithiol ligand having 1-4 ester groups of the formula --A--COOR where A is a straight or branched chain alkylene of 0-10 carbon atoms and R is an alkyl group of 1-10 carbon atoms are useful in radioimaging brain perfusion in primates. Ester-substituted diaminedithiols in sterile, pharmaceutically acceptable form, and kits of the diaminedithiols and sterile, non-pyrogenic reducing agents for reducing preselected radionuclides are also provided. Technetium-99m is a preferred radionuclide.

摘要:
The present invention describes novel compounds of the formula: (Q)d—Ln—Ch, useful for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, methods of imaging tumors in a patient, and methods of treating cancer in a patient. The present invention also provides novel compounds useful for monitoring therapeutic angiogenesis treatment and destruction of new angiogenic vasculature. The present invention further provides novel compounds useful for imaging atherosclerosis, restenosis, cardiac ischemia and myocardial reperfusion injury. The present invention still further provides novel compounds useful for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The pharmaceuticals are comprised of a targeting moiety that binds to a receptor that is upregulated during angiogenesis, an optional linking group, and a therapeutically effective radioisotope or diagnostically effective imageable moiety. The imageable moiety is a gamma ray or positron emitting radioisotope, a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent, an X-ray contrast agent, or an ultrasound contrast agent.
摘要:
Targeted ultrasound contrast agents are described. The contrast agents are porous particles of an inorganic material containing an entrapped gas or liquid and having an average particle diameter of about 0.05 to 500 microns. The outer surfaces of the particles incorporate a targeting ligand to target delivery of the contrast agent.

摘要:
The present invention provides novel radiopharmaceuticals useful for the diagnosis of infection and inflammation, reagents and kits useful for preparing the radiopharmaceuticals, methods of imaging sites of infection and/or inflammation in a patient, and methods of diagnosing diseases associated with infection or inflammation in patients in need of such diagnosis. The radiopharmaceuticals bind in vivo to the leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor on the surface of leukocytes which accumulate at the site of infection and inflammation. The reagents provided by this invention are also useful for the treatment of diseases associated with infection and inflammation.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates to novel synthetic methods, systems, kits, salts, and precursors useful in medical imaging. In some embodiments, the present invention provides compositions comprising an imaging agent precursor, which may be formed using the synthetic methods described herein. An imaging agent may be converted to an imaging agent using the methods described herein. In some cases, the imaging agent is enriched in 18F.
