Definitions
- the invention is in the field of contrast agents for imaging diagnostics and describes new contrast agents for displaying lymph node changes and inflammatory processes as well as pathological changes which are associated with the specific expression of endothelial and / or leukocytic ligands.
- Magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging, imaging using X-rays (X-ray or computer tomography), scintigraphic imaging using radionuclides (gamma camera imaging, SPECT, PET) and imaging using near-infrared radiation (NIR radiation) can serve as imaging methods.
- Lymph node changes have so far been diagnosed using imaging using X-rays (computed tomography) due to the increase in volume or in magnetic resonance imaging by the administration of contrast agents that are recorded non-specifically by macrophage populations of the lymph node (magnetites or high-molecular gadohnium-containing contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging become disentheron-resonance processes demonstrated by the detection of the increased discharge of plasma fluid into the inflamed tissue directly or with the help of contrast-enhancing agents. Alternatively, such processes can also be diagnosed by leukocyte populations that have previously been compared with suitable ones Signal molecules were labeled in vitro or in vivo. Specific radionuclide-labeled antibodies to serve as signal molecules
- Leukocyte surface antigens or magnetites that of certain
- Leukocyte populations were phagocytosed in vitro. Try all of these procedures. Indicate lymph node changes and inflammatory processes indirectly.
- Au gaoe of the present invention is besides. to provide these speci ⁇ scnen contrast media and methods for their preparation. This task becomes with the new contrast media and the procedures for their
- the new contrast agents contain a receptor. e.g. Adhesion molecules like the L-selectin molecule. in its biologically correct spatial orientation so that the contrast agent can specifically and selectively bind to endothelial ligands.
- Biologically correct alignment means that the N-terminal protein end with the ligin-binding lectin domain points outwards, away from the cell or from a carrier or the signal unit, while the C-terminal protein end of the complete or a shortened protein sequence into the cell or points inwards to the cell or to a carrier or to the signal unit.
- the term receptor is understood to mean a molecular unit which specifically binds to the endothelial and leukocytic ligands defined above.
- the contrast agent binds particularly well to its target structure when the receptor is present as a multimer was particularly surprising. This means that the contrast agent preferentially binds to the endothelial ligands if at least two adhesion molecules, e.g. two L-selectin molecules, defined and directed coupled to a signal unit.
- the invention therefore relates to contrast agents for the representation of
- Lymph node changes of inflammatory processes or of pathological changes which are associated with the specific expression of endothelial ligands and which are characterized in that a receptor, a receptor fragment or a group of receptors for specifically expressed endothelial and / or leukocytic ligands in a defined orientation are coupled to a signal unit.
- the receptor is preferably an L-selectin molecule, an L-selectin derivative or a fragment of L-selectin.
- the signal units vary depending on the intended use: for magnetic resonance imaging, the signal unit must consist of paramagnetic or superparamagnetic particles; superparamagnetic iron oxide particles are preferred.
- Gadolinium complexes or other paramagnetic metal complexes can also be used for this purpose become. Iodine-containing molecules or those with heavy metal atoms are preferably used for imaging by means of X-rays. Stabilized gas bubbles are used for ultrasound imaging. Radionuclides are used as a signaling unit in radio diagnostics. Finally, near-infrared fabes can be used as signal units for contrast agents in near-infrared diagnostics.
- the receptor can be multimerized in two ways. First, several receptors (e.g. L-Selectin) can be defined and coupled to one signal unit. Secondly, multimerized receptors (e.g. multimeric L-selectin) can be coupled to the signal unit.
- L-Selectin e.g. L-Selectin
- multimerized receptors e.g. multimeric L-selectin
- a coupling structure that optimally fulfills the requirements of high affinity and small size is the polyhistidine tag (multi-His, for example consisting of 4 or more histidine molecules), which is combined with Ni or Co-complexed chelators (hereinafter simply referred to as nickel chelators). interacts.
- the directional coupling can be done by a multi-His tagged selectin via z.
- Ni 2+ ions is bound to a suitable chelator.
- the chelators are coupled to the signal unit.
- the signal unit is a ferrimagnetic nanoparticle. such as a dextran magnet, the coupling takes place by oxidation with sodium periodate.
- the coupling chemistry is based on the oxide of diol groups present in carboxydextran. Since such diol groups are also present in starch, those ferrimagnetic nanoparticles are also suitable whose shell materials consist of starch, carboxydextran or comparable materials.
- the chelators can be coupled to non-radioactive and radioactive colloid particles coated with dextran or comparable coating materials.
- the chelators can also be coupled to compact or filled surface-modified polymer balls.
- the filling of the polymer beads can be from a gas.
- a radiopaque material a radioactive substance or fluorescent dyes such as NLR dyes.
- the chelators can also be coupled to dendrimer structures, which in turn are fluorescent, radiopaque, paramagnetic. Ferrimagnetic signal units or doped with gas-filled surface-modified polymeric signal molecules.
- the chelators coupled to particulate carriers nanoparticles, colloid particles, polymer spheres
- which enable binding to the multi-His-modified receptors can contain radioactive metals or metal ions which give a signal in diagnostic imaging.
- selectins can still be achieved via other molecular properties.
- the signal units can carry streptavidin or other avidin variants on their surface or on their structure and bind biotinylated selectins and vice versa.
- a selectin-specific antibody can also be coupled to the signal units, which binds outside the active center of the selectin and thus does not destroy its binding capacity after coupling to the signal particles.
- Another method for producing the contrast agents according to the invention is therefore that the C-terminus of an L-selectin molecule is coupled to a streptavidin, avidin or biotin molecule, the signal unit contains a biotin, streptavidin or avidin molecule, and the coupling arises from the specific binding between streptavidin and biotin or avidin and biotin when the L-selectin molecules are combined with the signal unit.
- L-selectin-Ig chimeras consist of L-selectin and immunoglobulin domains.
- the type of immunoglobulin fragment used (Ig) determines the degree of multimerization
- Chimeric molecules can also be formed from L-selectin and other multimerizing proteins.
- the mannose binding protein consisting of 4 subunits, can thus be doped with 4 L-selectin units.
- the cartilage oligomenc mat ⁇ x protein (COMP. Tomschy et al., 1996) in turn consists of 5 subunits that can be linked N-terminally to the C-terminal end of the L-selectin.
- the chimeric molecules from selectin and the Fc part of antibodies can either be (and already can be) via an antibody against the Fc part or via protein A, protein L or protein G - bacterial cell wall molecules that bind the Fc part of immunoglobulin multime ⁇ siert! are bound to particle surfaces.
- the coupling of protein G to the surface of dextran magnetites is described in Example 14.
- Different signal units are connected to the receptor or the receptor groups, depending on the diagnostic method in which the contrast medium is to be used.
- ferromagnetic particles can be used as signal units.
- the shell is covalently connected to the core or completely surrounds the core without direct chemical bonding.
- the shell can be made of dextran, strong or low or High-molecular aliphatic or aromatic chains exist.
- the shell either has functional groups (amino, carboxyl, thiol groups, etc.) that can be used for further coupling, or groups that are functionalized for further coupling after chemical activation
- Compounds are, for example, in WO 92 '12 35. WO 92/22586.
- Paramagnetic metals and metal compounds can also be used as signal units.
- the metal atom is complexed by a chelator. which in addition, directly or via a carrier, mediates further functional groups (amino, carboxyl, thiol groups, etc.) which can be used for further coupling.
- the chelator can also be doped on denders (example 15), as they are e.g. be inscribed in DE 43 444 60.

- L-selectin binds to its ligands preferably under the influence of shear forces (Finger et al., 1996). If particulate signal units are coupled to L-selectin, this also induces shear forces that lead to an improved binding of the L-selectin-particle construct compared to pure L-selectin (see example
- Fluorescent dyes can be used as signal units. These can either be coupled directly to the receptors or receptor groups in analogy to the above, or indirectly connected to them (Examples 18 and 19).
- the dyes can be doped in dendrimers, incorporated into compact or hollow polymer particles containing dye, or coupled directly to substances (protein A, protein L, protein G or specific antibodies directed against the multimerization domain), which in turn are linked to the multimerization domains of chimeric L-selectin molecules tie.
