  • Patent number: 10245328
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent containing a gadolinium complex, and more specically, to a DO3A-tranexamic acid compound having a structure of a chemical formula 1, or an ester compound thereof, and gadolinium complexes thereof. The DO3A-tranexamic acid compound or the ester compound thereof may be used to prepare gadolinium complexes. The gadolinium complexes exhibit thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities, and show the relaxation rate equal to that of the clinical contrast agent which is currently commercially available. Therefore, the gadolinium complexes can be widely used as an MRI contrast agent.

  • Patent number: 8901294
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent including a gadolinium complex, more particularly to a DO3A-tranexamic acid or its ester compound, which is represented by the Chemical Formula 1. A DO3A-tranexamic acid or its ester compound may be prepared according to the present invention and a gadolinium complex may be prepared using the compound. An MRI contrast agent including the gadolinium complex prepared according to the present invention as an active ingredient has higher relaxivity as compared to the currently commercially available contrast agent. In addition, the MRI contrast agent according to the present invention has bifunctionality of liver-specific and blood-pool contrasting effect.

  • Patent number: 8822697
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a paramagnetic polynuclear metal complex having enhanced self-relaxation rate and thermodynamic stability, and more particularly, to a synthetic method of a novel DTPA-bis-amide-histidine ligand and DTPA-bis-amide-aspartic acid ligand, a novel gadolinium complex ([Gd(L)H2O]) using the ligand, and a paramagnetic polynuclear metal complex using the gadolinium complex. The paramagnetic polynuclear metal complex is able to fix three or more metals (one gadolinium and two metal ions), thereby providing more excellent self-relaxation rate than the commercially available contrast agents. Thus, it can be widely applied to an MRI contrast agent because of meeting the high self-relaxation rate required as a contrast agent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
