Latest Patents
Eliot D. Simhon holds a patent for "MRI image enhancement using complexes of paramagnetic cations and amine ligands with three or more nitrogen atoms incorporated into a linear or cyclic backbone structure." This invention involves nitrogen atoms substituted with a combination of phosphonate groups and nonphosphonate groups, with at least two being phosphonate groups. The ligands are combined with paramagnetic metal cations and administered as pharmacologically acceptable salts. These agents are particularly useful for MRI contrast enhancement, as they tend to localize in bone tissue without the need for conjugation to bone-specific biomolecules. Preferred ligands include triazacyclononanes and tetraazacyclododecanes, which feature dihydroxyphosphorylmethyl or dihydroxyphosphorylethyl groups linked to the backbone nitrogens.
