  • Patent number: 11931431
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer, capable of targeting PSMA, and a compound provided by one aspect of the present invention has a glutamine-urea-lysine compound to which a radioactive metal-coupled chelator is structurally coupled and to which an aryl group that can additionally bind to PSMA protein is coupled. Coupling between the glutamine-urea-lysine compound and the chelator includes a polar spacer so as to serve the role of reducing in vivo nonspecific coupling and exhibit an effect of being rapidly removed from vital organs, but not from prostate cancer. These characteristics lower the radiation exposure, which is caused by a therapeutic radioisotope-coupled compound, to normal tissue and organs, and thus reduce side effects. In addition, a compound that contains a phenyl group having a coupling force with albumin has an increased residence time in the blood, thereby becoming more accumulated in prostate cancer.

    Abstract: Methods for adjusting the solubility of a botanical oil in water, along with the resulting modified botanical oil and related products (e.g., treatment compositions, wipes, absorbent articles, etc.) are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes reacting the botanical oil to form a reactive product (e.g., having a hydroxyl group); and attaching a hydrophilic end group (e.g., a carboxylic acid, a carboxylic acid salt, a sugar, etc.) on the reactive product to form a modified botanical oil. The modified botanical oil generally, in most embodiments, has a greater solubility in water than the botanical oil (e.g., a solubility in water of about 10 grams per 100 grams of water or greater, such as completely soluble in water). The botanical oil includes, in one particular embodiment, an essential oil, such as those essential oil that include at least one terpene compound.

  • Patent number: 10646598
    Abstract: Disclosed is a class of versatile Sarcophagine based bifunctional chelators (BFCs) containing a hexa-aza cage for labeling with metals having either imaging, therapeutic or contrast applications radiolabeling and one or more linkers (A) and (B). The compounds have the general formula where A is a functional group selected from group consisting of an amine, a carboxylic acid, an ester, a carbonyl, a thiol, an azide and an alkene, and B is a functional group selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an amine, a carboxylic acid, and ester, a carbonyl, a thiol, an azide and an alkene. Also disclosed are conjugate of the BFC and a targeting moiety, which may be a peptide or antibody. Also disclosed are metal complexes of the BFC/targeting moiety conjugates that are useful as radiopharmaceuticals, imaging agents or contrast agents.

  • Patent number: 10537651
    Abstract: Tin-117m somatostatin analogues or antagonist are used to treat tumors and symptoms associated with these tumors which express somatostatin receptors, such as gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. The tin-117m somatostatin receptor binding compounds can be administered at a dosage which is effectively apoptotic and not necrotic. Also, if desired, it can be administered at a dose that is necrotic and/or induces necrosis, but only to cells within 290 microns of the tin-117m atom. A novel somatostatin analogue is also disclosed, as well as novel methods to produce the tin labeled analogues and antagonists.
