The present inventors have developed new radiolabeled Darapladib and analogs thereof which can be used for the specific detection of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques by targeting lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) which is a biomarker of choice concerning inflammation and atherosclerosis progression. Thus, the present invention relates to radiolabeled Darapladib and analogs thereof and their use as imaging compounds.
目前的发明者已经开发出新的放射标记的达拉普利德及其类似物,可以通过靶向脂蛋白相关
磷脂酶A2(Lp-P
LA2)用于特异性检测易受损动脉粥样硬化斑块,该酶是关于炎症和动脉粥样硬化进展的首选
生物标志物。因此,本发明涉及放射标记的达拉普利德及其类似物以及它们作为成像化合物的用途。
