  • 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.

  • Patent number: 9096623
    Abstract: A method for preparing a radiotracer precursor SnADAM is revealed. The method overcomes shortcomings of conventional synthesis methods including lower yield rate and time-consuming. Moreover, Pd/C catalyst and hydrogen gas are used to catalyze reduction reaction for avoiding the generation of a large amount of intermediate products with similar structures. Thus there is no need to perform isolation and purification processes. The yield rate of the intermediate products is also increased so that its impact on the low yield rate of the final product SnADAM is minimized. A part of the reaction is significantly accelerated by using tris(dibenzylideneacetone)-dipalladium(0) (Pd2(dba)3) as a catalyst. Thus the production time of SnADAM is shortened.

  • Patent number: 8877943
    Abstract: A precursor SnBZM for a dopamine receptor radiotracer and a method for preparing the same are revealed. The precursor includes a tributyltin group (Bu3Sn) that is easy to be replaced. Thus a dopamine receptor radiotracer 123I-IBZM can be produced at high yield rate by a substitution reaction of the precursor. At the same time, both the method for preparing the precursor SnBZM and a method for preparing a reference standard IBZM are simplified. Moreover, stability of each product is improved.
