  • Patent number: 11186609
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing S-Bz-MAG3 as a precursor of contrast media. Thioglycolic acid and benzoyl chloride are taken for the thiol protection reaction. Next, N,N?-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide are converted to corresponding ester compounds. The corresponding ester compounds then react with triglycine by amide bonding reaction. The product of the reaction is recrystallized using acetone, filtered, and finally flushed using flushing agent to give the final product. This is a bifunctional chelator and can be bridged with 99mTc and 186/188Re effectively and applied to nuclear medicine imaging and tumor radiotherapy. By taking advantage of fewer synthesis steps and ease of operations, complicated separation and purification reactions can be reduced and thus achieving highly productivity of S-Bz-MAG3.

  • Publication number: 20190276416
    Abstract: A method for preparing a NOTA derivative is revealed. The method includes a plurality of steps. First take 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride and diethylenetriamine to carry out tosylation reaction and obtain a first product. Then the first substitution reaction takes place upon addition of the first product with sodium methoxide to get the second product. Next take 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride to react with ethylene glycol for preparing a third product by tosylation reaction therebewteen. Then a coupling reaction between the third product and the second product is carried out to produce a fourth product. The second substitution reaction occurs involving the fourth product in the presence of sulfuric acid. Lastly take the reaction product and hydrochloric acid to have bonding reaction and obtain a final product. The method solves the water-absorption problem of the cyclic organic compound TACN, a NOTA derivative.

First dissolve di-tert-butyl 2,2?-(1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4-diyl)diacetate, benzyl-2-bromoacetate and an alkaline compound in a first solvent to perform a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction and get a product. Then dissolve the product in a second solvent to get a solution and adjust the pH value of the solution. Next add an organic solvent when the solution becomes acid and then remove a first organic layer that contains the organic solvent. Adjust the solution to become an alkaline solution and add the organic solvent again to get a second organic layer containing the organic solvent. The second organic layer contains the final product, di-tert-butyl 2,2?-{7-[2-(benzyloxy)-2-oxyethyl-(1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4-diyl}-diacetate.

  • Publication number: 20180059072
    Abstract: A high performance liquid chromatography method for analysis of a MN diagnostic and therapeutic ligand and precursors is revealed. Polarity of eluents used during elution is changed to remove impurities. First use a first eluent with a lower ratio of acetonitrile as a mobile phase to elute analytes. Then a second eluent in which a ratio of acetonitrile is increased into 97˜99% is used to elute the analytes for at least 20 minutes. Next use the first eluent to elute the analytes for at least 60 minutes. Thus no residual impurities are left in the column and the analytes remain in the column stably. Therefore a more accurate and reproductive result is obtained.
