Weakly Basic 2-Nitroimidazoles For The Non-Invasive Detection Of Tissue Hypoxia

US Patent:
2008008, Apr 10, 2008
Filed:
Oct 6, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/544698
Inventors:
James A. Raleigh - Chapel Hill NC, US
David Y-W Lee - Cambridge MA, US
Xiaoshen Ji - Acton MA, US
International Classification:
A61K 51/00
US Classification:
424 111, 534 11
Abstract:
The present invention incorporates weakly basic substituents (pKa about 8 or greater) such as pyrrolidine, piperidine, piperazine and azapane moieties in halogenated 2-nitromidazoles as a major improvement over prior art for the non-invasive detection of cellular hypoxia in normal and malignant tissues. The invention features the use of [18F] positron emission tomography, [19F] magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and [19F] magnetic resonance imaging. Improvements over prior art compounds are six-fold. 1) Salts of weakly basic reagents are highly water-soluble which facilitates administration. 2) Unreacted reagents are rapidly cleared from systemic circulation thereby decreasing background noise. 3) Reagents with weakly basic substituents are concentrated in tissue ˜3 fold above plasma levels thereby increasing binding intensity and enhancing signal detection. 4) Conjugate bases of weakly basic reagents have intermediate octanol-water partition coefficients that facilitate their penetration into all tissues including brain. 5) Cellular adducts of reagents containing weakly basic substituents are more stable than reagents of prior art. 6) Reagents with weakly basic substituents are effective for the detection of transient hypoxia in solid tissue.

Hypoxia-Selective, Weakly Basic 2-Nitroimidazole Delivery Agents And Methods Of Use Thereof

US Patent:
8518371, Aug 27, 2013
Filed:
Nov 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/955720
Inventors:
David Y-W Lee - Cambridge MA, US
James A. Raleigh - Chapel Hill NC, US
Assignee:
Natural Pharmacia International, Inc. - Burlington MA
International Classification:
A61K 51/00, A61M 36/14
US Classification:
424 189, 424 111, 424 165, 424 181, 424 185, 424 91, 424 94, 514183, 544224
Abstract:
The invention features a class of 2-nitroimidazole compounds with a secondary basic nitrogen atom and a linker bearing one or more therapeutic agents, cytotoxic agents, detectable labels, or chelating groups. In particular, the invention provides 2-nitroimidazole compounds containing a cluster of boron atoms for use in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The 2-nitroimidazole compounds can be used to treat hypoxic conditions, including, e. g. , cancer, inflammation, and ischemia. The weakly basic 2-nitroimidazole compounds target to hypoxic tissue and provide increased tissue concentration overall.
