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.

This invention relates to a class of heterocycles and their metal complexes, and is particularly concerned with the use of these compounds in the preparation of prodrugs or as prodrugs that may be activated under hypoxic conditions by enzymes or by therapeutic ionising radiation, in the treatment of cancer. The invention also relates to the use of these heterocycles and the corresponding metal complexes in the preparation of medicaments and to compositions including the heterocycles or their metal complexes and to methods for preparing these compounds.
摘要:
This invention involves synthesis and use of a class of compounds with chelation affinity and selectivity for first transition series elements. Administration of the free or conjugated compound, or physiological salts of the free or conjugated compound, results in decrease in the in vivo bioavailability of first transition series elements and/or removal from the body of first transition series elements and elements with similar chemical properties. These characteristics make such compounds useful in the management of diseases associated with a bodily excess of first transition series elements and elements with similar chemical properties. This invention demonstrates that such compounds inhibit mammalian, bacterial, and fungal cell replication and are therefore useful in the treatment of neoplasia, infection, inflammation, immune reponse, and in termination of pregnancy. Since these compounds are capable of descreasing the in vivo availability of tissue iron they are useful in management of free radical mediated tissue damage, and oxidation mediated tissue damage. When combined with radioisotopic or paramagnetic cations of first transition series elements, or elements with chemical properties similar to those of first transition series elements, prior to their administration, the resulting complexes are useful as diagnostic agents in nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
摘要:
The prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is increasingly recognized as a viable target for imaging and therapy of cancer. Various 99mTc/Re-labeled compounds were prepared by attaching known Tc/Re chelating agents to an amino-functionalized PSMA inhibitor with or without a variable length linker moiety. Ex vivo biodistribution and in vivo imaging demonstrated the degree of specific binding to engineered PSMA+PC3 PIP tumors.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of Cyclen. in its turn widely employed in the manufacturing of a variety of macrocyclic gadolinium complexes for use as MRI contrast agents. The said process comprises an efficient coupling of glyoxal with triethylene tetramine and the subsequent reduction of the obtained intermediate derivative with an aluminium based reducing agent. The process is particularly advantageous for the industrial scale as it avoids the use and/or formation of hazardous compounds and further provides for Cyclen manufacturing in high yields and purity.
