  • 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.

  • Patent number: 9751844
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid precursor in the form of an organic salt, the solid precursor having a solid support, a method for manufacturing same, and an application thereof. The solid precursor of the present invention enables omission of the [18F]fluoride refining process using additional cartridge, and the use of excessive phase-transfer catalyst, and can easily remove remaining substance after reaction through the solid support inside the precursor. The solid precursor of the present invention is very appropriate for an automated synthesis device as an all-in-one system that can carry out overall process of [18F]fluorosis reaction, when used by charging in a cartridge.

  • Patent number: 9505799
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a precursor of positron emission tomography (PET) radioactive medical supplies, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof, and more specifically, to a precursor having a tetravalent organic salt leaving group, a preparation method, and a method for preparing desired PET radioactive medical supplies in a high radiochemical yield within a short preparation time by introducing 18F using the same through a single step. The precursor having a tetravalent organic salt leaving group of the present invention can simplify the known complex multistep preparation of radioactive medical supplies into a single step, can save production costs because an excessive amount of a phase transfer catalyst is not required, facilitates separation of a compound after reaction, and enables rapid reaction velocity. The features are appropriate for the mass production of PET radioactive medical supplies by an automated synthesis system.

  • Patent number: 9133143
    Abstract: The present invention relates to (3-fluoro-2-hydroxy)propyl-functionalized aryl derivatives or to the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to a method for preparing same, and to a pharmaceutical composition containing same as active ingredients for the diagnosis or treatment of neurodegenerative brain diseases. The aryl derivatives of the present invention are (3-fluoro-2-hydroxy)propyl-functionalized to increase the polarity thereof, and therefore the drugs containing the aryl derivatives can easily permeate into the cerebrovascular membrane, thus increasing the effectiveness of the drugs. As the aryl derivatives of the present invention strongly bind to ?-amyloid, the aryl derivatives, when labeled with radioisotope, can be used as a diagnostic agent for non-invasively diagnosing early Alzheimer's disease.

  • Patent number: 8841085
    Abstract: Disclosed are a nanoparticle sensor for measuring protease activity, for protease imaging, and a method for preparing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a nanoparticle sensor for measuring protease activity in which a fluorophore- and a quencher-conjugated peptide substrate is conjugated to a biocompatible polymer nanoparticle. The peptide substrate is specifically lysed by a protease. The sensor according to the present invention is capable of inhibiting emission of fluorescence with high extinctive activity of the quencher on a fluorescent material. But strong fluorescence is specifically emitted only if the peptide substrate is lysed by a specific protease. Therefore, the sensor is especially useful as a method for screening a novel drug such as a protease overexpression inhibitor, and early diagnosis of incurable diseases and various diseases such as autoimmune diseases including cancer, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and dementia.
