  • Patent number: 9150602
    Abstract: A precursor used for labeling hepatocyte receptors and applied to radiotracers for imaging or pharmaceutical compositions for liver cancers is revealed. The precursor is a bifunctional compound. The bifunctional group includes a trisaccharide structure and a diamide dimercaptide (N2S2) ligand. The trisaccharide has high affinity to asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGPR) on surfaces of hepatocytes while N2S2 ligand reacts with radioisotopes to form neutral complexes. Thus the precursor stays on surfaces of hepatocytes to provide radioisotope labeling or treatment effect of liver cancers.
