The present invention relates to a class of compounds having affinity for certain cancer cells, e.g. lung carcinomas, colon carcinomas, renal carcinomas, prostate carcinomas, breast carcinomas, malignant melanomas, gliomas, neuroblastomas and pheochromocytomas. The compounds of the present invention can also bind with high specificity to cell surface sigma receptors and can therefore be used for diagnostic imaging of any tissue having an abundance of cells with sigma receptors. The present invention provides such compounds as agents for diagnostic imaging and for detecting and treating tumors containing the cancer cells described above.
本发明涉及一类具有亲和力的化合物,例如肺癌细胞、结肠癌细胞、肾癌细胞、前列腺癌细胞、乳腺癌细胞、恶性黑色素瘤细胞、胶质母细胞瘤、神经母细胞瘤和嗜铬细胞瘤等癌细胞。本发明的化合物还可以与细胞表面的西格玛受体高度特异性结合,因此可以用于对具有丰富西格玛受体细胞的任何组织进行诊断成像。本发明提供了这种化合物作为诊断成像和检测和治疗含有上述癌细胞的肿瘤的药剂。
