[EN] WATER-SOLUBLE NERVE DYES FOR IN VIVO NERVE-SPECIFIC IMAGING [FR] COLORANTS POUR NERFS SOLUBLES DANS L'EAU POUR IMAGERIE SPÉCIFIQUE DES NERFS IN VIVO
摘要:
Provided herein are libraries of nerve-specific fluorescent contrast agents of substituted 8-methyl-phenoxazine compounds of Formula (I) with excitation and emission profile comparable to US FDA approved methylene blue (MB) and indocyanine green (ICG), respectively, allowing for real-time intraoperative imaging using clinical-grade surgical systems. Also provided 700 nm lead candidates with substantially improved water-solubility, fully negating the need for formulation development with the added advantage of improved safety profiles for patient use in the clinic as well as decreased overall cost of clinical translation.
The present invention provides a PET tracer that has improved properties for imaging the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) as compared with known such PET tracers. The present invention also provides a precursor compound useful in the preparation of the PET tracer of the invention and methods for the preparation of said precursor compound and said PET tracer. Also provided by the present invention is a radiopharmaceutical composition comprising the PET tracer of the invention. Methods for using the PET tracer and the radiopharmaceutical composition are also provided.
