Title:
CHOLINE ANALOGS AS RADIOTRACER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/040138
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Novel radiotracer(s) for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) or Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging of disease states related to altered choline metabolism (e.g., tumor imaging of prostate, breast, brain, esophageal, ovarian, endometrial, lung and prostate cancer - primary tumor, nodal disease or metastases). The present invention also describes intermediate(s), pre-cursor(s), pharmaceutical composition(s), methods of making, and methods of use of the novel radiotracer(s).
