Description
USE OF METAL COMPLEXES AS X-RAY DIAGNOSTIC AGENTS FOR THE LIVER AND THE BILIARY VESICLE
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to the use of metal complexes in diagnostic radiology of the liver and gallbladder using X-ray radiation, especially in computed tomography. The first detection of focal liver diseases, especially liver metastases and liver tumors, is one of the most important diagnostic problems in oncology. Four processes to form the image are available for this purpose: scintigraphy, ultrasonography, computer tomography and magnetic resonance tomography. Each of these processes has specific advantages and disadvantages, none is acly carried out optimally according to the current state of the art and virly every process would benefit from the presence of compatible, specific contrast media that can be administered intravenously [Hamed, RK, Chezmar, JL, Nelson RC: Imaging of Patients with potentially Resectable Hepatic Neoplasms. AJR 159, 1191-1194 (1992)].
Scintigraphy offers inadequate spatial resolution and is limited in its use by insufficient or excessive specificity (only usable for a few types of tumors) of the radiopharmaceutical agents, so that it is not mentioned in the review article mentioned in the above . At this time, sonography is also an unreliable technique for the detection of focal, solid liver changes since the latter are often insufficiently distinguished from healthy liver tissue in their acoustic properties. Minor lesions of the liver tissue can only be detected during an operation after the liver is exposed and with the use of high frequency transducers. The magnetic resonance tomography (MRI) is able to detect the entire liver with a spatial resolution and depending on the measurement method, also with good tissue differentiation. For MRI, well tolerated effective contrast media can be administered intravenously in a clinical trial, which also improves the uses of this image formation process. The disadvantages, however, are the movement artifacts in the high-resolution measurement process, which takes several minutes and the high costs of the same hardware; These factors limit its availability. Computed tomography (CT) is currently the ideal technique for the diagnosis of the liver. With modern hardware, the entire liver can be scanned within approximately 30 seconds with excellent spatial resolution. An individual liver layer takes approximately
1 second, in such a way that the movements caused by respiration and peristalsis hardly play any role. The costs of the CT are considerably lower than those of the MRI. The disadvantage of the resolution of low density of fabric must however be compensated for by the contrast media. With the contrast media now available clinically, there are the following possibilities: 1. The contrast media are injected intravenously or rapidly given by infusion and in large doses (50-200 g). A few minutes may have, in individual cases, a difference in the contrast between the lesion and normal liver tissue, which is due to differences in perfusion, the relative blood volume of the tissue, and the extracellular space. Only with the CT scan of very high speed, mentioned in the foregoing, this period of unequal distribution of contrast media can be exploited for diagnosis. 2. 4-6 hours after I read administration of at least 120 g of the usual urogasal contrast media, the improved contrast between the healthy liver parenchyma, which absorbs the contrast medium and the focal liver lesions, which in In most cases it does not incorporate the contrast medium, it will be observed in a very small portion of patients. This technique mentioned as "delayed exploration", however, is not sufficiently reliable and informative, in such a way that it can not be used routinely. 3. In the case of arterial hepatography, a catheter must be inserted for example into mesenteric A.; then the patient is brought to the CT device and the scan is performed, while approximately 150 ml of the contrast medium is given by infusion. This technique is invasive, time consuming and expensive, but at this time it produces the most reliable data on the presence and location of liver metastases. This information is of decisive importance for the decision on the resectability of the metastasis. CT with arterial hepatography is therefore performed regularly preoperatively, despite the cost. The effect of the problems described in the above, is that the X-ray contrast media now available are basically urográfico products, which are not concentrated in the liver. However, to produce some contrast, the liver is flooded by the bloodstream with very large amounts of contrast media over a short period ("dynamic scan"), or an attempt is made to use 1-2% of the medium. contrast that is found in a portion of the patients later in the liver parenchyma ("delayed exploration"). It can be easily seen that there is a need for the improved diagnosis of focal hepatic lesions, since the existing processes are too inefficient, too expensive, or too heavy for patients. Therefore, for decades, numerous attempts have been made to develop liver-specific X-ray contrast media, which can be administered intravenously. Of the large number of preparations tested, only a few can be mentioned (see also Table 1-2): torotraste (colloidal suspensions of thorium oxide) produce excellent liver contrast, but it is not excreted. A-emitting thorium caused liver tumors decades after its administration. In 1940, Schering sold the hepatoselectan preparation, an emulsion of very fine drops of a triyoidal oil. Due to the acute side effects, it has been removed from the market. The successor products of other companies and research groups (EOE-13, AG-60-99, etc.) are given even during clinical trials due to the same problems Table 1: Emulsions
Table 2: Liposomes In addition to a considerable number of pharmaceutical problems, all the individual preparations (suspensions, emulsions, liposomes) have the disadvantage, at high doses (5-20 g) used for diagnostic radiology, of causing characteristic side effects that They are difficult to avoid. In the decade of the 70s and in the early 80s, therefore, great efforts were made to find water soluble X-ray contrast media that accumulate in the liver enough for CT. Such substances were provided with up to 6 iodine atoms per molecule and to a large extent for this reason, they were very effective and well tolerated in some cases in animal experiments. Large differences in effectiveness were notable in the case of individual animal species. Until now, however, none of the water-soluble contrast media containing iodine reached a sufficiently high concentration in the liver in humans to make the development for CT look promising. A characteristic example of the many tests that failed was published by Mützel,. , Egener, O. H., Souchon, R. and Heinmann, H. - J., Water-Soluble Contrast Agents for Computed Tomography of the Liver: Experimental Studies in Dog. In Amiel (edt.): Contrast Media in Radiology, Lyon 1981, Springer Verlag Berlin Heidelberg New York 1982, p. 320-323, Table 1. Also in this case, insufficient liver contrast was found in humans, unlike what was found in many types of animals. Intravenous colposive agents, such as iotroxinate and ioglicamate, selectively accumulate in the liver. However, this process is very limited in capacity. At a concentration corresponding to 5 μg of iodine per ml of plasma, a concentration of 5 times in the liver is achieved, at a concentration of 50 μg of iodine / ml a concentration of twice as much and 500 μg of iodine / ml is rarely achieved of plasma, the concentration in the liver is considerably lower than in plasma and therefore to a large extent without diagnostic value, because the differentiation between actively accumulating tissue and perfusion alone is impossible. Computer tomography, however, reliably detects iodine only at initial concentrations of approximately 1 mg / ml (Speck, U., Mützel, W., Herz-Hübner, U., Siefert, HM Pharmakologie der Iotroxinsáure, eines neuen intravenosen Cholegraphicums I. Pharmakokinetik und Radiologie beim Tier. [Phamacology of Iotroxic Acid, a New Intravenous Cholegent Agent I. Pharmacokinetics and Radiology in Animáis] .Drug. Res. 28, 2143-2149 (1978). maintain that there is a need for specific, compatible, stable x-ray contrast media, preferably soluble in water and therefore easily characterized in pharmaceutical form, which are effective and not at doses too high and despite decades of effort Until now, no product has been sold or they are only in a stage of clinical trial promise Due to the dependence of the unpredictable species on the absorption, the Excretion and excretion through the liver by means of experimental tests on animals is difficult to find such preparations; Also, many disappointing results in the findings of experiments in animals, and humans can no longer be considered an indication of the adequacy or inadequacy of a substance or family of substances. Contrast media containing metal for magnetic resonance tomography also absorb X-rays. Therefore, an effort has been made in individual cases to use these substances for computer tomography (Schild, HH et al .: Gadolinium DTPA (Magnevist (R as Contrast Media for Arterial DSA, Fortschr. Rontgenstr. [X-Ray Radiation Research], 160, 218-221 (1994); Quinn, A. D. et al .: Gd-DTPA: An Alternative Contrast Medium for CT. J. Comput. Assis. Tomogr. 18, 634-636 (1994)). It should be taken into consideration that the previously available metal complexes bind only to one opacification metal ion per molecule, while the X-ray contrast media contains 3 or 6 iodine atoms. Despite the higher effectiveness of some metal ions compared with iodine (Zwicker, C, Langer, M., Langer, R., Keske, U. Comparison of Iodinated and Noniodinated Contrast Media in Computed Tomography., Invest. Radiol. 26, 162-164 (1991), iodine contrast media so far can not be replaced by metal chelates in any important indication.An important disadvantage of using metal chelates as X-ray contrast media is the content significantly Minor element that absorbs X-rays in molecules (iodinated X-ray contrast media: 3 or 6 iodine atoms / molecule; contrast media RM; 1 metal ion / molecule). The opacification is correspondingly weak, so that the metal complexes are used almost exclusively for experimental studies in radiology. In MRI, low concentrations of metal ions are sufficient, since the latter rapidly affect the exchange of protons in water, while in radiology the metal itself must be made visible. The object of this application for invention, therefore, is to select, from known pharmaceutical substances based on metal chelates, which are suitable for diagnosis by imaging, those substances which are suitable for the production of contrast media for diagnostic radiology, especially computer tomography of the liver and bile ducts. The object is achieved by this invention, as characterized in the claims. Therefore, the invention relates to the objects characterized in the claims. It has been found that metal complexes consisting of a metal of atomic numbers of 44-51 or 56-83 and a complexing agent are suitable for the production of contrast media for use in computed tomography enhanced by liver contrast. and the bile ducts. In this case, there are compounds of the general formula
in which X, independently of another, means a hydrogen atom or an equivalent metal ion of an element of atomic numbers 44-51 or 56-83, one of the radicals R1 means a radical of the formula -CH2-CgH4- (0) r-R2, in which the aromatic ring of one of the radicals R1 can be substituted in the ortho, meta or para position and another radical R1 signifies hydrogen, R2 signifies a hydrocarbon radical consisting of 1-6 carbon atoms and -2 oxygen atoms, a phenyl radical or a benzyl radical, or R2 means hydrogen and r means the number zero or one, in which the carboxyl groups may be present as amides, together with the physiologically compatible cations that are optionally required to equalize load. As radicals R of the general formula I, substituted benzyl can be used, such as, for example, methoxybenzyl, ethoxybenzyl, propoxybenzyl, butoxybenzyl, pentoxybenzyl, benzyloxybenzyl, methylbenzyl, ethylbenzyl, propylbenzyl, butylbenzyl, pentylbenzyl and benzylbenzyl radicals. The substituents of the benzyl radicals can be in the 2-, 3- or 4- position, that is, the ortho, meta or para position. In this case, the substituents in the ortho and para position are preferred and the radicals in the para position are particularly preferred. The Rl radicals can be in the 4- or 5- position of 3,6,9-triaza-3,6,9-tris (carboxymethyl) -undecane-dioic acid, in which the 4- position is preferred. A hydrogen atom is in the other respective position of Rx. Those oxygen-containing radicals (r = 1) are preferred. The ethoxybenzyl radical is very particularly preferred.
As radicals R2 the compounds may contain alkyl radicals of C-L to Cg, for example methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl or hexyl radicals. In this case, the C3 to Cg alkyl radicals may be straight or branched chain, such as, for example, isopropyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, neopentyl or isohexyl radicals. The alkyl radicals, however, can also contain 2 oxygen atoms (in which the peroxo compounds are, of course, not considered), for example as ethoxyethyl, ((ethoxy-) ethoxy) ethyl or methoxypropyl radicals. Of the metal ions, the lanthanoids are preferred. In measurements under current conditions (see Example 8), holmium, erbium and ytterbium have more adequately provided that the elements most commonly used in MRI are gadolinium and dysprosium. Due to its high price, the thulium seems to be the least suitable from the economic point of view, but it is still adequate in principle. Other elements, however, can also be used. In particular, the chelate compounds lutetium, praseodymium, cerium, hafnium, lead and bismuth also exhibit particularly advantageous properties. The carboxyl groups may also be present as amides, for example, as alkylamides or dialkylamides, in which the alkyl groups exhibit 1-4 carbon atoms or as a morpholide group. The amide functions are not negatively charged in contrast to the carboxyl functions. Accordingly, the charge of the complex changes when a carboxyl function is converted to an amide function. Generally, a maximum of sufficient carboxyl functions are converted to amide functions, such that an electrically neutral complex results. As physiologically compatible cations, sodium "1", calcium 2"1", magnesium 2"1" and zinc 2 + can be mentioned as examples, as well as organic cations of the following organic bases: meglumine, glucosamine, arginine, ornithine, lysine, 2-amino -l, 3, 4-butanetriol and ethanolamine. The following compounds are especially suitable for use according to the invention: Gadolinium complex (III) of 3,6,9-triaza-3,6,9-tris (carboxymethyl) -4- (4-ethoxy-benzyl) acid ) -undecandioic, ytterbium (III) complex of 3,6, 9-triaza-3, 6, 9-tris (carboxymethyl) -4- (4-ethoxy-benzyl) -undecanedioic acid, • praseodymium complex (III) of the acid

The production of the compounds according to the invention is familiar to those skilled in the art. Some of these substances and their production are described in, among others EP 0 405 704 and US 4,880,008. Also in the examples of this document, the possible advance of the production is described, which one skilled in the art can modify it depending on his needs to obtain the desired compounds.
The metal complexes mentioned above are preferably used in the form of their sterile, aqueous solutions. In addition, for the metal complexes to absorb X-rays they may contain the usual pharmaceutical adjuvants, such as buffers, bases, acids, stabilizers, solubilizers, substances for coupling the osmolarity and viscosity, pharmacologically active additives and an excess of free or complex agents. its salts / complexes with weakly bound physiologically compatible ions such as, calcium2"1", magnesium2 + and zinc2 + to improve the excretion of heavy metal ions. Suitable substances and their concentration ranges are known to those skilled in the art or are found for the literature. The metal complexes are preferably used in a concentration of 0.1 mol to 1.0 mol relative to that of the opacification metal ion. Higher to lower concentrations are possible depending on the requirements and the solubility of the compounds in question. To increase the contrast in the liver, the dose is approximately 0.1-1.5 mmol / kg body weight; it is preferably in the range of 0.2-0.6 mmol / kg. The administration can be done in the usual forms in medicine. The preferred one is intravenous infusion or injection for a period of about 1 minute to 30 minutes. It is surprising that despite the considerably worse preconditions in terms of light absorption action of each molecule for the first time in humans, a level of X-ray absorption in the liver that was completely satisfactory for computed tomography was achieved with these metal chelates in this case without having to use doses that were approximately as high as in the case of iodinated x-ray contrast media, not specific. At the same time, it was shown that the accumulation in the liver is carried out quickly and sufficiently long for the computed tomographic diagnosis process. The administration can be done non-invasively (for example, intravenously). The compatibility in the dose range required (see above) is very good. In summary, it can be noted that with the family of substances described here, it has been possible for the first time to obtain a concentration of specific contrast medium in the human liver, which produces beneficial diagnostic data with the computed tomographic technique now available. This discovery is all the more surprising, as - Preparations for this purpose have been searched in vain for decades, - despite the presence of all the molecular properties although they are required and a significantly higher content of the opacification element in the molecule, the iodinated X-ray contrast media do not meet the requirements, the use according to the invention of the substances requires a dose that is greater by a factor of
in the case of magnetic resonance tomography, without any loss in physiological compatibility that is detectable, - the concentrations that are reached in the human liver with the use according to the invention, is still achieved by many contrast media of iodine x-rays, standard, without it being possible therefore for these agents that are used for computed tomography, to improve the diagnosis of focal liver changes, - the discoveries of experiments in animals currently obtained with respect to the suitability of the Contrast media to increase the contrast in the computed tomography of the liver, have completely proven to be unreliable. The following examples were used to illustrate the invention without intending that the object be limited to the latter.

In comparison, according to Mützel et al.

Berlin, Heidelberg, 1982), SH L 433 A hexayodado (formula XI) which was specially developed for the diagnosis of the liver.
at a dose corresponding to 360 mg of iodine / kg (approximately 25 g of iodine per 70 kg of patient's weight) produced an increase of only < 10 UH (monkey, dog, mouse:> 40 UH). The iotroxinate excreted by the bile ducts in approximately 90% of humans (hexayodado, 2 carboxyl groups) reaches only 15 UH in the liver in the case of the maximum compatible dose corresponding to approximately 7 g of iodine / 70 kg of patient weight (Hübner, KH: Computertomographische Densitometrie von Leber, Milz und Nieren bei intravenós vereibreichten lebergángigen Kontrastmitteln in Bolusform.

Rontgenstr. [Research of X-ray Radiation] 129, 289-297 (1978)). In comparison, such greater absorption of x-rays in the human liver is achieved with approximately 3.5 g of gadolinium in the form of a complex, which contains only one gadolinium ion / molecule, than with 25 g of iodine of SH L 433 ( formula XI) or 7 g of iotroxinate iodine, although both of these x-ray contrast media are hexayoded compounds.

The disodium salt is complexed with different metal ions that absorb x-rays and then in the case of different concentration, the density values of the samples are measured in water ghost, since approximately it corresponded in dimensions to that of the human abdomen. The operation was performed on a commercially available computerized tomograph with the commonly used voltage of 137 kV and 110 mA.

It turns out that there is a surprisingly high effectiveness of rare earths for iodine, which is supposedly attributable to the special measurement conditions that exist in abdominal CT. Among the lanthanides, erbium, ytterbium and holmium are going to be preferred over gadolinium and dysprosium, the elements that have been studied most to date.
Example 9
Conducting the Test
Fifteen patients with known liver metastases were examined on liver CT at 10 minutes, 60 minutes and (N = 5) 120 minutes after intravenous infusion of 0.2, 0.35 or 0.5 mmol / kg of Gd-EOB-DTPA ( see Example 6) Gd-EOB-DTPA (0.25 mmol / L) was administered intravenously in an intravenous drip into the arm vein. The infusion time was 20 minutes for the doses of 0.2 and 0.35 mmol / kg and 30 minutes for the maximum dose of 0.5 mmol / kg. Patients had major tumors that were histologically detected (N = 9 with colorectal carcinoma, N = 2 with intestinal carcinoid, N = 1 with carcinoma of the stomach, N = 1 with leiomyosarcoma and N = 1 with adenocarcinoma of ovarian cysts) and metastasis (N = 5) had been detected by CT enhanced by contrast medium one month before the study with Gd-EOB-DTPA. Exclusion criteria for patients were: • age less than 18 years anamnesis of side effects similar to allergy or severe after administration of contrast media, • before administration of Gd-EOB-DTPA, • administration of contrast media at 24 hours before the study, • a transplanted organ, • women before menopause, • an operation or biopsy of the liver 24 hours before or after the study, and • patients with laboratory parameters that deviate greatly from the standard. The CT studies were done before and 10 minutes, 60 minutes and (N = 5) 120 minutes after the intravenous infusion of the Gd-EOB-DTPA with a Siemens-Spiral CT. The entire liver was measured 20-30 seconds after a pause in breathing. The feeding speed of the table was 8 mm / second, the collimation was 8 mm. Using a base of precontrast and postcontrast images, two independent observers evaluated the number and size of the metastasis qualitatively (excellent, good, moderate, minimal, without improvement) and quantitatively (measurement of the Houndsfield units).
The compatibility of the Gd-EOB-DTPA was determined when determining the general condition, the registration of the vital parameters and the laboratory analysis of the serum and urine parameters.
Results
After intravenous infusion of Gd-EOB-DTPA, a dose-dependent increase in CT density of the healthy liver was found. Figure 1 shows the time plot of TC density (Houndsfield units, UH) in the liver of patients with primary tumors, which can be detected histologically after the start of an infusion of 0.2 (o), 0.35 (*) or 0.5 mmoles / kg of Gd-EOB-DTPA (). CT density in liver metastases is represented by the symbol *. The CT density of the metastases was unchanged. In addition, a visualization of the gallbladder and bile ducts was possible. Visualization of metastases was improved in all dose groups after the infusion of Gd-EOB-DTPA. It was excellent in two groups of higher doses. After the maximum dose, on average, two additional metastases were discovered, which were not previously known. The average size of the smallest metastasis, found, decreased correspondingly from 20.3 to 16.6 mm. In the case of a patient with a known metastasis in the right lobe of the liver, an additional lesion with a diameter of 7 mm, which had not been previously found, was detected in the left lobe of the liver after Gd-EOB-DTPA . The general compatibility of the Gd-EOB-DTPA was good. Only four mild or moderate side effects were observed. In two cases, patients reported a burning sensation at the site of the infusion or behind it, which persisted for a few seconds or minutes. Other side effects were nausea and a feeling of pressure in the epigastric region. The evaluation of laboratory parameters did not produce an accurate trend. In the case of three patients, slight increases in aspartate transferase and alamininyl transferase were found, which were probably caused, however, by liver metastasis. In summary, it is assumed that Gd-EOB-DTPA represents a contrast medium for liver or gallbladder well tolerated and effective for CT.
