The design and synthesis of several novel X-ray contrast agents 1–3, developed for targeting bone structures, and in particularly microcracks in bones, using CT (Computer Tomography) detection is described. These contrast agents are based on the use of the well known triiodobenzene platform, which was conjugated into one or more phenyliminodiacetate moieties, which can be used to ‘lock’ onto bone matrices. Compounds 1–3 were all tested for their ability to visualise cracks in bone structures (bovine bones) using μ-CT imaging.
描述了几种新型X射线对比剂1-3的设计与合成,这些对比剂旨在靶向骨结构,特别是骨中的微裂纹,采用计算机断层扫描(CT)检测。这些对比剂基于著名的三
碘苯平台,该平台通过与一个或多个苯
亚氨基二乙酸酯基团结合,以“锁定”骨基质。化合物1-3均经过测试,评估其在使用微CT成像时可视化骨结构(牛骨)裂纹的能力。
