  • Publication number: 20110065904
    Abstract: H3LMN series compounds used as radioactive agents for treatment of liver cancer and a manufacturing method thereof are revealed. 2-thioethylamine hydrochloride is reacted with triphenylmethanol for protection of thiol to obtain 2-[(triphenylmethyl)thio]ethylamine. Then obtain N-[2-((triphenylmethyl)thio)ethyl]chloroacetamide by a transamidation reaction between 2-[(triphenylmethyl)thio]ethylamine and chloroactyl chloride. Next produce a amine-amide-thiol ligand-N-[2-((triphenylmethyl)thio)ethyl][2-((triphenylmethyl)thio)ethylamino]acetamide by a substitution reaction of N-[2-((triphenylmethyl)thio)ethyl]chloroacetamide and 2-[(triphenylmethyl)thio]ethylamine. After respective reaction with 1-bromotetradecane, 1-bromohexadecane and ethyl 16-bromohexadecanoate, H3LMN series compounds are obtained. These amine-amide-dithiols quadridentate ligands can react with MO3+ (M=Tc or Re) to produce electrically neutral complexes.

  • Publication number: 20110040119
    Abstract: A method for preparing a precursor of radioactive 3-iodobenzylguanidine-N,N?-bis(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-3-(tri-n-butyltin)benzylguanidine) (MSnBG) is revealed. The MSnBG is a precursor of [*I]MIBG that is used as radioactive imaging agents and antineoplastic drugs. The method includes following steps. Firstly, obtain 3-iodobenzylguanidine bicarbonate by an addition reaction between 3-iodobenzylamine hydrochloride and cyanamide. Use di-tert-butyl dicarbonate as a protecting agent for NH group and convert 3-iodobenzylguanidine bicarbonate into N,N?-bis(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-N-(3-iodobenzyl) guanidine. At last, under catalysis of bis(triphenylphosphine) palladium dichloride, obtain a final product MSnBG by a substitution reaction between N,N?-bis(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-N-(3-iodobenzyl) guanidine and bis(tri-n-butyltin). MSnBG is used in no-carrier-added synthesis of [*I]MIBG.

  • Publication number: 20110040123
    Abstract: A bifunctional compound containing an amino group and diaminedithiol ligand and a manufacturing method thereof are revealed, the bifunctional compound includes at least one amino group and a diaminedithiol (N2S2) ligand. The amino groups is for reacting with compounds containing carboxylic acids or halogens while the N2S2 ligand binds with technetium or rhenium so as to form an anion complex. The thiol group in the N2S2 ligand is protected by a protecting group for prevention of oxidation and easy storage. This protecting group is released easily during complex reactions. Due to the bifunctional property, the compound is applied to preparation of radiopharmaceuticals such as imaging agents and targeted agents.

  • Publication number: 20100183508
    Abstract: A radioactive mixture and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The radioactive mixture (188Re-MN/Lipiodol mixture) is formed by chelating reaction of MN series compounds that are amine-amide-disulfide amine quadric-dentate chelate ligands with TcO4?/or ReO4?, and then dissolved in Lipiodol. Moreover, the 99mTc/or 188Re of the TcO4?/or ReO4? avoids bone marrow injuries caused by free 90Y. By the feature of the Lipiodol that stays in liver tumors for a long period, the radioactive mixture is applied to treat liver cancers by injection so that injuries caused by surgical operations can be prevented. 188Re-MN/Lipiodol is used for liver cancer, breast cancer or other solid tumors treatment. Re-188 MN or Re-188 MN/Lipiodol can be mixed with anticancer drugs, hydrogel, liposome, micelle or other nano-particles to form the multifunctional therapeutic modality.

  • Publication number: 20100056804
    Abstract: A compound containing carboxylate ester and N2S2 ligand bi-functional groups and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The S in the N2S2 ligand of the compound containing carboxylate ester and N2S2 ligand bi-functional groups includes a protective group so as to avoid to be oxidized and easy storage. In a complex reaction, the protective group is automatically released As to the active carboxylate ester, it is for reacting with compounds having amino groups such as amines, amino acids, peptides, or protein etc while the N2S2 ligand is for bonding with technetium or rhenium so as to form neutral complex. The compound containing carboxylate ester and N2S2 ligand bi-functional groups is applied to radiopharmaceuticals such as contrast agents for tissues and target agents.
