The present invention is directed to novel radiopharmaceutical imaging agents incorporating Tc-99m as a radiolabel. In particular, the novel imaging agents disclosed herein have relatively high renal extraction efficiencies, and hence are useful for conducting renal function imaging procedures. The novel Tc-99m compounds of a present invention have the following general formula:
wherein X is S or N; and wherein Y is -H2 or wherein Y is
and where R, is -H, -CH3, or -CH2CH3; R2 is -H, -CH2CO2H, -CH2CONH2, -CH2CH2C02H, -CH2CH2CONH2, -CH3, -CH2CH3, CH2C6H5, or -CH20H; and Z is -H, -CO2H, -CONH2, -S03H, -SO2NH2, or -CONHCH2C02H; and the Tc is Tc-99m; and water-soluble salts thereof. Of the foregoing, the presently preferred Tc-99m compound of the present invention is Tc-99m-mercaptoacetylglycylglycylglycine (Tc-99m-MAGGG). The present invention is also directed to novel chelating agents that may be reacted with Tc-99m to form the foregoing compounds. Such novel chelating agents have the following general formula.
where X and Y have the same definitions as above, and wherein Y' is -H2 when X is N, or wherein Y' is -H, or a suitable protective group such as -COCH3, -COC6H5, -CH2NHCOCH3, -COCF3, or -COCH20H when X is S. The present invention also provides methods for preparing and using the novel Tc-99m compounds.
本发明涉及以 Tc-99m 为放射性标记的新型放射性药物成像剂。特别是,本发明公开的新型成像剂具有相对较高的肾提取效率,因此可用于进行肾功能成像程序。本发明的新型 Tc-99m 化合物具有以下通式:
其中 X 是 S 或 N;Y 是 -H2 或 Y 是
其中 R 是-H、-CH3 或-CH2CH3;R2 是-H、-CH2CO2H、-CH2CONH2、-CH2CH2C02H、-CH2CH2CONH2、-CH3、-CH2CH3、CH2C6H5 或-CH20H;Z是-H、-CO2H、-CONH2、-S03H、-SO2NH2或-CONHCH2C02H;Tc是Tc-99m;以及它们的水溶性盐。在上述化合物中,本发明目前优选的 Tc-99m 化合物是 Tc-99m-巯基乙酰甘氨酰甘氨酸(Tc-99m-MAGGG)。本发明还涉及可与 Tc-99m 反应生成上述化合物的新型螯合剂。此类新型螯合剂具有以下通式。
其中 X 和 Y 的定义同上,当 X 为 N 时,Y'为-H2;当 X 为 S 时,Y'为-H 或合适的保护基团,如-COCH3、-COC6H5、-CH2NHCOCH3、-COCF3 或-COCH20H。 本发明还提供了制备和使用新型 Tc-99m 化合物的方法。
