Description:
Compounds for complexation of rare earth elements and/or s-, p-, d- block metals, their coordination compounds, peptide conjugates, method of their preparation and use thereof

State of Art

The present invention relates to new macrocyclic compounds suitable as cross-bridged chelators for complexation of rare earth elements and/or s-, p-, d- block metals, forming extremely stable coordination compounds. These coordination compounds are suitable for use as labels for quantitative detection of peptide conjugates, and/or as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. The invention further relates to a method of preparation of the chelators and to a method of tracing peptide/protein containing medicaments.

Background Art

Metal elements find biomedical applications such as imaging contrast agents, radiotherapeutic agents or bioanalytical labels. For most of these applications, it is necessary to bind the metal in a stable chelate that can be covalently linked to other molecules, such as targeting vectors based on peptides or antibodies. The most universal example of a chelator applicable to majority of metal elements is DOTA ( 1,4,7,10- tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid) and its derivatives. A broad range of other chelators have been developed specifically for particular metal elements. [Price E. W., Orvig C. (2014), Chem. Soc. Rev. 43(1), 260 - 290],

Rare earth elements (scandium - Sc, yttrium - Y, lanthanum - La, cerium - Ce, praseodymium - Pr, neodymium - Nd, promethium - Pm, samarium - Sm, europium - Eu, gadolinium - Gd, terbium - Tb, dysprosium - Dy, holmium - Ho, erbium - Er, thulium - Tm, ytterbium - Yb and lutetium - Lu) are a group of metals that offer a broad range of medical applications. Radiopharmaceuticals based on 90 Y, 153 Sm and 177 Lu are approved by FDA, clinical trials are ongoing with 166 Ho, and others show advantageous properties for Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) or therapy ( 44 Sc, 47 Sc, 86 Y, 149 Pm, 159 Gd, 149 Tb, 161 Tb, 165 Dy, 161 Ho, 169 Er and 175 Yb). Stable, non-radioactive Gd chelates are in clinical use as contrast agents for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Stable isotopes of rare earth elements also serve as labels for analytical purposes. Compounds of interest labeled in this way can be visualized, traced and quantified based on unique luminescence or isotope mass of the elements that have zero background in biological systems. The unique isotope mass is especially useful, as it allows many compounds to be quantified simultaneously in a single analysis (multiplexing), typically with the use of inductively -coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) [Bodenmiller B. et al. (2012), Nat. Biotechnol. 30(9), 858-867], Other metal elements from s-, p- and d-block of the periodic system, such as 89 Sr, 223 Ra, 117m Sn, 212 Pb, 213 Bi, 64 Cu, 225 Ac, find use in radiopharmaceutical compounds for imaging or therapy.

For practical use, metal chelates must be very stable, so that the metal ion cannot easily escape from the chelator and detach from the carrier molecule. In this respect, thermodynamic stability constant provides insufficient information, because most applications proceed under conditions far from thermodynamic equilibrium (e.g. in- vivo). Instead, kinetic inertness that characterizes the rate at which the metal ion escapes from the chelate under given conditions must be considered. Kinetic inertness strongly correlates with rigidity of the chelator. Acyclic chelators of the type DTP A (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) have more flexible structure and provide lower kinetic inertness than macrocyclic chelators of the type DOTA, which are more rigid. Chelates with high kinetic inertness are desirable particularly for in-vivo applications, where the metal chelate is challenged with excess of competing biogenic chelators and metal ions. For this reason, the rigid and kinetically inert macrocyclic chelators are preferred to the flexible acyclic ones. For example, practically all radiopharmaceuticals based on the radionuclide 177 Lu (half-life 6.7 days) that are approved or in development make use of the macrocyclic chelator DOTA, as the metal must remain bound to the targeting molecule in-vivo for weeks in order to have the desired curative effect. Similarly, in MRI contrast agents, macrocyclic chelates of gadolinium(III) are preferred to the acyclic DTP A type. It has been recently found that significant amount of free gadolinium is released in-vivo from the acyclic agents and deposited in human brain for long time. [Fur M. L., Caravan P. (2019), Metallomics 11(2), 240-254] In response to this finding and to prevent potential harm to patients, the use of the acyclic MRI contrast agents has been severely restricted around the globe by drug-regulating agencies. It is therefore likely that the importance of kinetic inertness of metal chelates will grow in medical and other applications, and chelators providing higher inertness will be needed.

Methods to further increase kinetic inertness rely on reinforcement and rigidification of the macrocyclic chelators with additional rings. For example, a cross-bridged macrocyclic chelator cb-TE2A (4,11- bis(carboxymethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazabicyclo[6.6.2]hexadecane ) provides much more inert chelates with copper(II) ion than the non-cross-bridged analogues [Boswell C. A. et al. (2004), J. Med. Chem. 47(6), 1465- 1474], Another similar chelator cb-TEDPA (6,6'-((1,4,8,11-Tetraazabicyclo[6.6.2]hexadecane-4,11- diyl)bis(methylene))dipicolinic acid) was shown to provide exceptionally inert lanthanide(III) chelates [Rodriguez-Rodriguez A. et al. (2016), Inorg. Chem. 55(5), 2227-2239], Another cyclen-based cross-bridged chelator provided extremely inert copper(II) chelates [Esteves, C. V. et al. (2013), Inorg. Chem. 52(9), 5138- 5153], A common feature of these chelators is that the bridge is independent from the coordinating pendant arms and is oriented on the opposite side from the pendant arms in the chelate. Chelators where the bridge connected the pendant arms themselves have also been made, but the effect on stability of the chelates was strongly negative [Vipond, J. et al. (2007), Inorg. Chem. 46(7), 2584-2595], There are also practical limitations when too high kinetic inertness becomes counterproductive. This is because the energy barrier that the metal ion must overcome on the way out of the chelate is similar to the barrier that it has to overcome on the way in during chelate formation. Generally, the more inert a chelate is, the more difficult it is to make. The formation kinetics can be accelerated with high temperature and long reaction times. However, such reaction conditions are often incompatible with sensitive targeting vectors (e.g. antibodies) and/or half-life of metal radionuclides in preparation of radiopharmaceuticals.

There remains a strong need for new types of chelators, which would form highly kinetically inert metal complexes quickly and under mild synthetic conditions.

Disclosure of Invention

We have circumvented problems of the background art with a new type of chelators, which form a bridge after complexation of the metal ion that rigidifies the structure and increases kinetic inertness. The bridge is formed between two coordinating pendant arms based on cycloaddition reaction between alkyne and azide substituents on the opposite pendant arms. This reaction does not require catalyzation by Cu(I) ions as is usually the case, and occurs spontaneously after formation of a non-bridged chelate. The chelator therefore acts as a one-way trap for the metal ion. Initial formation of the non-bridged chelate is relatively fast. Then, a bridge is formed that traps the metal inside the chelator. For rare earth elements, the resulting bridged chelates show extremely high kinetic inertness that is up to 6 orders of magnitude higher than for the analogous chelates with DOTA. Such unusually high inertness allows new uses of the chelates as analytical labels that can withstand harsh hydrolytic conditions in concentrated acids and can be quantified in the lysate as intact chelates with liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The use of LC-MS is advantageous, as it is much more common instrument than ICP-MS. The extremely high inertness is also advantageous for potential in-vivo use of the chelates, such as MRI contrast agents or radiopharmaceuticals, as no free metal is released in-vivo from the coordination compounds, therefore no metal deposit occurs in human or animal body.

The compounds according to the present invention are capable of acting as extremely efficient molecular traps, which can coordinate metal ions in an extremely stable, rigid and well defined manner. The ligands can be prepared in relatively a few number of steps of organic synthesis. After coordination of the metal ion, the click reaction is performed between the azide group and a triple bond present in opposite pendant arms of the macrocycle, forming a triazole bridge, and enclosing the metal ion within the cage (forming the so-called click- zipped complex). The formation of triazole is irreversible and is depicted in Scheme 1 below.

Lanthanides (Ln) are defined as chemical elements comprising 15 metallic chemical elements with atomic numbers in the range of from 57 to 71 (from lanthanum through lutetium).

Preferably, the coordination compound has a general formula (VIII)

(VIII); wherein M is the metal cation, R 1 , R 4 , R 5 and A are as defined above, and n is selected from 1, 2, 3 and 4; more preferably, the coordination compound has a general formula (Villa)

(VIlla).

The coordination compounds according to the present invention comprise also solvates and salts of pharmaceutically acceptable acids. The positive charge of the metal cation is counterbalanced by two negative charges arising from A pendant arms (e.g. acetates). Therefore, the overall charge of the coordination compound is -1 (for monovalent metal ions), 0 (for divalent metal ions) or +1 (trivalent metal ions). The counterion, compensating for the overall charge of the coordination compound, is selected from the group, comprising anions derived from the following pharmaceutically acceptable acids:

1 -hydroxy -2 -naphthoic acid; 2,2-dichloroacetic acid; 2 -hydroxyethanesulfonic acid; 2-oxoglutaric acid; 4- acetamidobenzoic acid; 4-aminosalicylic acid; acetic acid; adipic acid; ascorbic acid (L); aspartic acid (L); benzenesulfonic acid; benzoic acid; camphoric acid (+); camphor- 10-sulfonic acid (+); capric acid (decanoic acid); caproic acid (hexanoic acid); caprylic acid (octanoic acid); carbonic acid; cinnamic acid; citric acid; cyclamic acid; dodecylsulfuric acid; ethane- 1,2-disulfonic acid; ethanesulfonic acid; formic acid; fumaric acid; galactaric acid; gentisic acid; glucoheptonic acid (D); gluconic acid (D); glucuronic acid (D); glutamic acid; glutaric acid; glycerophosphoric acid; glycolic acid; hippuric acid; hydrobromic acid; hydrochloric acid; isobutyric acid; lactic acid (DL); lactobionic acid; lauric acid; maleic acid; malic acid (- L); malonic acid; mandelic acid (DL); methanesulfonic acid; naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid; naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid; nicotinic acid; nitric acid; oleic acid; oxalic acid; palmitic acid; pamoic acid; phosphoric acid; proprionic acid; pyroglutamic acid (- L); salicylic acid; sebacic acid; stearic acid; succinic acid; sulfuric acid; tartaric acid (+ L); thiocyanic acid; toluenesulfonic acid (p ); undecylenic acid; trifluoroacetic acid.

The coordination compounds can be prepared according to Scheme 1 above from the free ligand of general formula (I) (preferably the non-caged, therefore preferably without the trazole bridge) and a metal salt (typically water soluble metal salt, preferably selected from a group comprising chloride, nitrate, acetate, formate, trifluoroacetate, trifluoromethylsulfonate, more preferably chloride or nitrate salt). By stirring of these reactants in an aqueous environment (pH 5-7) at temperature in the range of from 25 °C to 100 °C, the metal cation coordinates into the compound of general formula (I) and the R 2 and R 3 substituents then “click-zip” the metal cation inside the cage by forming the triazole bridge (reaction temperatures and times are strongly dependent on the choice of ligand and metal cation).

However, the suitable ligands are not limited to the non-caged compounds of general formula (I), eventhough they are preferred because wider range of metal cations (such as lanthanides) may form the caged coordination compounds. The bridged (caged) compounds of general formula (I) with 1,5-triazole bridge are capable of forming coordination compounds with metal cations, typically selected from the group comprising Tl 3+ , Pb 2+ , Bi 3+ , In 3+ , Cd 2+ , Ca 2+ , Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , Mn 2+ , Pd 2+ , Na + . The bridged (caged) compounds of general formula (I) with 1,4-triazole bridge are capable of forming coordination compounds with metal cations, typically selected from the group comprising La 3+ , Ce 3+ , Pr 3+ , Nd 3+ , Sm 3+ , Eu 3+ , Gd 3+ , Tb 3+ , Dy 3+ , Ho 3+ , Er 3+ , Tm 3+ , Yb 3+ , Lu 3+ , Y 3+ , Tl 3+ , Pb 2+ , Bi 3+ , In 3+ , Cd 2+ , Ca 2+ , Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , Mn 2+ , Pd 2+ , Na + .

The resulting coordination compounds are very inert and stable, therefore suitable for various applications, such as MRI contract agents, radiodiagnostics or radiotherapy, peptide or protein containing drug tracing.

The coordination of the compound of general formula (I) to a metal cation takes place via the macrocyclic nitrogen atoms of the cyclene moiety, oxygen atoms present in groups A (pendant arms) and Y group (when Y is N-oxide), and via nitrogen atoms of Y group (when Y is nitrogen) and nitrogen atom present in Z group.

In one embodiment, the coordination compounds according to the present invention may undergo a post- clickzip transformation. It means that after the metal cation is coordinated within the cage of the compound of general formula (I) by either following the Scheme 1 or coordinating with the caged compound of general formula (I), some functional groups, if present, may undergo a further reaction. Typically, such functional group is a halogen, preferably Cl, NO 2 or SH, present within substituent R 1 or R 5 of the coordination compound, however, post-clickzip transformations may include reactions of R 1 , R 4 , R 5 and/or A groups (such as amidic coupling reactions of non-coordinated carboxylic or amino groups).

For example, when R 1 is halogen, preferably Cl; or R 1 is C 6 , to C 10 aryl, substituted with -CH 2 CI, then the coordination compound of general formula (VIII) may undergo post-click transformation using Pd(0) catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction with phenylboronic acids (3 -borono-5 -nitrobenzoic acid or 2-(4-(4,4,5,5- tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)acetic acid or 2-(4-boronophenyl)acetic acid), during which the halogen is replaced, thus the resulting coordination compound of general formula (VIII) would have R 1 = COOH or C 6 to C 10 aryl, substituted with -COOH or -CH 2 COOH. The resulting carboxylate moiety can be then utilized in amide coupling reaction for synthesis of peptide conjugates. Conjugates with oligoarginines are capable of crossing cell membrane, allowing metal cages to be incorporated to the cells. Another possible post-click transformation is the replacement of halogen present within R 1 , R 4 and/or R 5 substituent by -N 3 group by reaction with NaN 3 . The resulting azide can be used for coupling of the metal cage to another alkyne-bearing moiety using copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction.

Another possible post-click transformation is the hydrolysis of TIPS protecting group present in R 1 , R 4 and/or

R 5 substituent and protecting the triple bond (R 1 , R 3 and/or R 5 is ). The hydrolysis is performed using aqueous K 2 CO 3 , and results in R 1 , R 3 and/or R 5 being . The resulting deprotected triple bond is suitable for further conjugations via reaction with the alkyne, for example click reactions with azides and forming triazole bridges (e.g. CuAAC reaction).

In another embodiment, the post-click transformation may be addition reaction of methanol to R 1 , R 4 and/or

R 5 , wherein R 1 , R 3 and/or R 5 is thus transforming the triple bond to dimethyl acetal

(protected version of an aldehyde). This demonstrates conversion of one functional group (alkyne) to another (aldehyde). Aldehydes are usable for conjugation reactions based on formation of Schiff bases with amines, hydrazines and acid hydrazides.

In yet another embodiment, the post-click transformation may be deuteration reaction of CH 2 groups of the pendant arms in D 2 O in presence of DBU, transforming them into CD 2 groups. This conversion does not alter the physico-chemical properties of the molecule (in terms of stability or reactivity), but changes the overall mass of the molecule, to be entirely distinguishable from the parent non-deuterated molecule using mass spectrometry. This means, that the metal ion cage with one particular metal can be used as two different mass tags.

In yet another embodiment, the post-click transformation may be a selective reduction of pyridyl cycle of

Z substituent, wherein Z is and R 3 and R 5 are as defined above, using NaBH 4 or NaBD 4 as the reducing agent, thus transforming the Z group into respectively. Similiarly to the deuteration of CH 2 groups, this conversion changes the mass of the molecule for metal tags purposes.

In yet another embodiment, the post-click transformation may be reaction of NH 2 group, if present, of R 1 and/or R 4 and/or R 5 and/or A, wherein R 1 and/or R 4 and/or R 5 contains -NH 2 or -(CH 2 ) n NH 2 , with FmocCl, resulting in transformation of-NH 2 group into -NHFmoc group. Fmoc group is the most commonly encountered amine protecting group used in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Introducing of Fmoc group therefore facilitates use of the metal cages for SPPS.

In yet another embodiment, the post-click transformation may be reaction of NH 2 group, if present, of R 1 and/or R 4 and/or R 5 and/or A, with a carboxyl group of another molecule of general formula (I) or of its metal complex as defined above, resulting in conjugation of two or more compounds of general formula (I) or of their metal complexes into conjugates bound via a peptide (amide) bond.

In yet another embodiment, the post-click transformation may be reaction of non-coordinating -COOH group, if present, in R 1 and/or R 4 and/or R 5 and/or A, with an amino group of an aminoacid or peptide, thus forming a peptide bond for conjugation purposes.

In yet another embodiment, the post-click transformation may be S -alkylation reaction of a halogen, preferably Cl, of R 1 , R 4 and/or R 5 substituent with a thiol, resulting in trasforming the halogen into sulfide. The thiol may be e.g. Na 2 S, NaSH, N-Boc-cysteine or a cysteine-containing peptide and the reaction may take place in presence of DIPEA. Incorporating cysteine (aminoacid) into the structure of the coordination compound according to the present invention opens futher possibilities for amide bonds (e.g. peptide attachment).

In yet another embodiment, the post-click transformation may be reaction of group of R 1 , R 3 and/or R 5 , wherein R 1 , R 3 and/or R 5 contains , with an azide, preferably with alkyl- or arylazide, thereby forming a triazole bridge connecting the alkyl- or aryl- to R 1 , R 3 and/or R 5 group. The arylazide is preferably C6 to C10 arylazide, e.g. benzyl azide, optionally substituted with -COOH or -CH 2 COOH. The alkyl azide is preferably C1 to C7 alkyl azide, wherein the alkyl may be linear or branched. In yet another embodiment, the post-click transformation may be reaction of-N 3 group of R 1 or R 5 , wherein R 1 or R 5 contains -N 3 group, with a substituent comprising a carbon-carbon triple bond, thereby forming a triazole bridge connecting the substituent with the coordination compound. The substituent comprising a triple bond may be for example C7 to C10 arylalkynyl, optionally substituted with -COOH or -CH 2 COOH, e.g. phenylacetylene, wherein the phenyl moiety may optionally be substituted with -COOH or -CH 2 COOH.

In yet another embodiment, the post-clickzip transformation may be reaction of -SH group of R 1 and/or R 5 , with a substituent comprising maleimide, thereby forming thiosuccinimide linkage connecting the substituent with the coordination compound; or reaction of -SH group of R 1 and/or R 5 , with a substituent comprising another -SH group, thereby forming a disulfide bridge connecting the substituent with the coordination compound; or reaction of-SH group of R 1 and/or R 5 , with alkyl- or arylhalogenide, thereby forming a thioether linkage connecting the alkyl- or aryl- to the coordination compound.

In yet another embodiment, the post-clickzip transformation may be reaction of -NO 2 group of R 1 and/or R 5 , with a substituent comprising -SH group, thereby forming a thioether linkage connecting the substituent with the coordination compound.

In one embodiment, the post-click transformation may include reaction with another coordination compound of the present invention, thereby forming a chain or a dimer. The coordination compound chain or dimer may contain the same metal cation in both click -zipped cages or it may contain different metal cations in each of the chelates. The advantage of the chains and dimers lies in the possibility to combine properties of the two caged chelates, such as their unique weights to produce mass tags with higher variability of weights.

Typically, the coordination compounds are bound into the chain by forming a triazole bridge between R 1 or R 5 group of the first coordination compound and R 1 or R 5 group of the following coordination compound (the use of R 5 group is only possible for Z being

The general basic structure of the coordination compound chain is thus (IXa) or (IXb)

(IXa)

(IXb).

In one embodiment, the coordination compounds are bound into the chain by amide bonds formed between a substituent of one coordination compound containing an amine group (R 1 and/or R 4 and/or R 5 and/or A) and a substituent of another coordination compound containing a carboxyl group (R 1 and/or R 4 and/or R 5 and/or A).

The chain usually contains two coordination compounds according to the present invention, however it may contain three, four or more coordination compounds.

In yet another embodiment the two types of linkage, described above, are possible in one chain, for example two neighbouring coordination compounds may be linked by one triazole bridge, leaving R 5 or R 1 substituent available for linking another coordination compound according to the present invention, either via a triazole bridge or, if amino or carboxyl groups are present, via an amide bond.

In one embodiment, the coordination compounds are bound into the chain by disulfide bonds (-S-S-) formed between a substituent R 1 or R 5 of one coordination compound containing -SH group, and a substituent R 1 or R 5 of another coordination compound containing -SH group. The coordination compound dimer contains two coordination compounds according to the present invention, bound together by forming a triazole bridge between R 1 group of the first coordination compound and R 5 group of the second coordination compound, and, at the same time, by forming a triazole bridge between R 5 group of the first coordination compound and R 1 group of the second coordination compound.

The general structure of the coordination compound dimer is thus (X)

(X).

The synthesis of the coordination compound chain or dimer is based on a click reaction between an azido group of the first coordination compound and a triple bond of the second coordination compound, thereby forming a triazole bridge, linking the two coordination compound into a dimer. The triazole bridge is selected from the group comprising:

1,2,3 -triazole group of formula formed between -N 3 group of R 1 or R 4 or R 5 of first coordination compound and the triple bond of R 1 or R 4 or R 5 of the second coordination compound. Preferably, the metal cations are different, for example the metal cations are selected from Tb 3+ and 176 Yb 3+ .

Yet another object of the present invention is a conjugate suitable for use as markers for drug tracing. Many drugs are based on peptides or proteins, and their biodistribution can be traced by attachment of a fluorescent or radioactive marker to the peptide or protein structure. The coordination compounds and dimers of the present invention are suitable for their attachment to the peptide or protein of a drug to be traced. The isolated cell culture or a tissue can then be analysed for the presence of the metal complex using conventional methods, such as LC-MS, which is commonly used and relatively inexpensive instrument. The cells or tissues can be entirely hydrolyzed in a strong acid without any decomposition of the coordination compound according to the present invention. The coordination compound can then be detected in a hydrolyzed sample. Such method is unexpensive and reliable thanks to the extremely high stability of the coordination compounds. LC-MS method also allows for using a plurality of different coordination compounds with different metal isotops (multiplexing), which may then be all analyzed during one LC-MS analysis.

The conjugate according to the present invention contains the coordination compound according to the present invention as defined above or the coordination compound dimer or chain as defined above, conjugated to a peptide or to a protein. The conjugation takes place via an amide bond, formed between the amino group of the peptide or the protein and a carboxyl group of the coordination compound or of the chain or dimer or vice versa. Thus, the coordination compound or the chain or dimer need to contain either -NH 2 or -COOH group prior to peptide or protein conjugation. Preferably, the -NH 2 or -COOH group is part of the R 1 and/or R 4 and/or R 5 group, therefore the conjugates are formed from coordination compounds or coordination compound dimers, which have R 1 and/or R 4 and/or R 5 group selected from the group comprising -NH 2 ; -(CH 2 ) n NH 2 ; -COOH; - (CH 2 ) n COOH; C 6 to C 10 aryl, substituted with -NH 2 , -COOH, -(CH 2 ) n NH 2 , or -(CH 2 ) n COOH; wherein n is an integer in the range of from 1 to 3.

The conjugation reaction conditions are known to the person skilled in the art, typically the reaction takes place at 25 °C in DMSO, using commonly used peptide coupling agents (preferebaly HATU, PyAOP) in the presence of organic base (triethylamine, ethyldiisopropylamine). Reaction are usually completed within several minutes. The peptide is preferably selected from the group comprising oligopeptides of 3 to 20 aminoacids;

The protein is preferably selected from the group comprising antibodies, preferably monoclonal antibodies.

Another object of the present invention is a method of drug tracing, preferably of tracing of peptide-based or protein-based drugs, which comprises the following steps: i) providing a cell culture or a tissue to be analyzed, containing at least one conjugate defined above, wherein the peptide or the protein is of the peptide-based or protein-based drug to be traced; ii) hydrolyzing the cell culture or tissue from step i) using a strong acid, preferably non-oxidizing aq. HCl, obtaining a hydrolyzate; iii) qualitative and/or quantitative analysis of the hydrolyzate of step ii) for the presence of the coordination compound or of the coordination compound dimer according to the present invention, preferably using LC- MS.

Further object of the present invention is the in vitro use of the coordination compound or of the coordination compound dimer or of the conjugate according to the present invention in pharmacy, preferably for development and testing of new drugs, more preferably for drug marking and tracing.

Another object of the present invention is the use of the coordination compounds or of the coordination compound dimers according to the present invention in medical diagnostics, preferably as MRI contrast agents. Preferably, Gd 3+ coordination compounds or dimers shall be used as MRI contrast agents, as Gd has a very high relaxivity. The extremely high kinetic inertness of the coordination compounds (approximately WOx higher than for GdDOTA, a commonly used MRI contrast agent) allows for using even higher dosages and no free gadolinium, which itself is toxic for humans or animals, is released from the coordination compounds according to the present invention. The claimed coordination compounds are thus expected to be safe for use in human or animal beings.

Another object of the present invention is the use of the coordination compound or the coordination compound chain or the coordination compound dimer according to the present invention, wherein M is a radionuclide, preferably selected from the group comprising 44 Sc, 47 Sc, 64 Cu, 67 Cu, 86 Y, 90 Y, 140 Nd, 149 Pm, 151 Pm, 153 Sm, 159 Gd, 1 49 Tb, 161 Tb, 165 Dy, 161 Ho, 166 Ho, 169 Er, 167 Tm, 175 Yb, 177 Lu, in medicine as radiodiagnostic and/or radiopharmaceutic agents. Alternatively, a radionuclide may also be present in the side chain of the coordination compound such as a radioizotope of a halogen, e.g. R 1 and/or R 5 may be 18 F.

The present invention is further demostrated by the following examples.
