Title:
CHELATING POLYMERS AS CONTRAST AGENTS FOR MEDICAL IMAGING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1996040274
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention provides polymeric polychelants containing polymer repeat units of formula [L-Ch-L-B] (where Ch is a polydentate chelant moiety; L is an amide or ester linkage; B is a hydrophobic group providing a carbon chain of at least 4 carbon atoms between the L linkages it interconnects) or a salt or chelate thereof, with the proviso that where Ch is 2,5-biscarboxymethyl-2,5-diazahex-1,6-diyl, the polychelant is metallated with lanthanide or manganese ions or B provides a carbon chain of at least 10 carbon atoms between the L linkages it interconnects and their salts and chelates. The paramagnetic polychelates of the polychelants of the invention have remarkably high R1 relaxivities.
