Definitions
- This invention relates to a method and formula ⁇ tions useful for obtaining the in-vivo visualization of body cavities using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) .
- NMR Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
- it relates to the use of solutions of positive paramagnetic contrast agents for NMR examina ⁇ tions of said cavities via proton-density and T_- weighted sequences, with the proviso that said parama ⁇ gnetic agents are kept in a well-defined concentration range.
- GI gastro-intestinal
- NMR magnetic resonance
- T.-relaxing media if used with T.-weighted sequences, increase the lumen signal intensity of body cavities when compared to the nearby tissues. This causes a loss of differentiation capacity among the normal and the pathological (tumours or other) wall components, affecting and/or reducing the diagnostic efficacy of the method.
- contrast media formula ⁇ tions containing paramagnetic substances which are usually used as T,-relaxing agents, increase the intra- lu en signal, without affecting the differentiation of normal and pathological wall constituents, when proton- density and/or T_-weighted sequences are used and on the condition that the concentration of said paramagne- tic agent is kept within a precise interval, specific to said agent and lower than that recommended for imaging, with T,-weighted sequences.
- contrast media containing .- at least one paramagnetic species selected from a series of conventional T,-relaxing contrast media, at a suitable concentration and using NMR proton-density and/or T--weighted sequences. It has been found that images of tumours have an intermediate intensity between that of the organ wall under examina ⁇ tion and the liquid contained in the lumen.
- neoplastic lesions can be clearly identified and the extent of wall penetration may be determined.
- images obtained by proton- ensity sequences a good differential contrast among the lesion, the wall and the adjacent adipose tissue can be easily visualized.
- the amount of paramagnetic species used in the formulation of the contrast medium should be enough to create and keep inside the lumen liquid, after the administration, a concentration of contrast agent suf ⁇ ficient to obtain a contrast/noise ratio of at least 2 between the lumen content and the GI tract or the bladder walls for T_-weighted sequences.
- the contrast agent concentration in the lumen liquid should be kept preferably in a range in which the signal intensity .of the lumen content, in this case measured under proton-density-sequence conditions, does not exceed the signal intensity of fat by more than 20%.
- This second type of image that is usually acquired with double echo sequences, can be obtained during the same diagnostic examination after a single administration of the contrast medium used for T_- weighted imaging.
- Laniado did not recognize at all the general effect exerted by any paramagnetic species on the signal intensity of T ⁇ -weighted sequences.
- concentration he considered indispensable is far higher than the one useful for obtaining the contrast effects subject of this invention.
- This technique is essential for obtaining valuable images of the bladder and is preferred for the terminal intestine tract in order to assure the volume and the ideal con ⁇ centration of the contrast medium for the method of this invention.
- a retrograde administra ⁇ tion requires an advantageously short preparation time.
- any physiologically tolerable water-soluble substance containing at least one paramagnetic metal species is useful for the aim of the present invention, providing that it is used in a precise interval of concentra ⁇ tions, that is specific to it.
- Particularly preferred species are, for instance, chelates of linear or cyclic aminopolycarboxylic acids or their derivatives, such as, for instance, amides, hydroxyamides and esters, with paramagnetic metal ions.
- Preferred compounds are, for instance, the Gd complex of N,N-bis-(2-(bis (carboxymethyl)amino)ethyl)- glycine (Gd-DTPA), its corresponding amido or bisamido derivatives like Gd-DTPA-bismethylamide and Gd-DTPA- bismorpholide or its ethoxy-benzyl (EOB) derivatives like Gd-EOBDTPA, the Gd complex of 4-carboxy-5, 8 , 11- tris(carboxymethyl)-l-phenyl-2-oxa-5, 8, 11-triaazatride- can-13-oic acid (Gd-30PTA) and its salts and derivati ⁇ ves, the Gd complex of 1,4 , 7 , 10-tetraazacyclododecan- 1, 4 ,7 , 10-tetraacetic acid (Gd-DOTA) and its derivati- ves, the Gd complex of 1,4 , 7 , 10-tetraazacyclo
- Equally preferred metal chelates are also those with phosphonates, phosphinates, sulphonates or analo ⁇ gous compounds: non-limiting examples are the Gd complex of diethyl-triamino-pentakis(methylenephospho- nate) (Gd-PMP) and the Mn complexes of ethylene- diamino-tetrakis(methylenephosphonate) (Mn-TP) or of ,N'-1,2-ethanediyl-bis-(N-( (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-
- iron salts such as 5 Fe ⁇ -citrate or Fe -gluconate, or Fe l + ' chelates with aminopolycarboxylic acids containing at least one aryl ring, preferably two, such as the Fe 1 complex of N,N'-1,2-ethanediyl-bis-(2-(2-hydroxy-4-methylphe- nyl))-glycine [FE II:[ -EHPG].
- ferrioxamine paramagnetic compounds like for .example ferrioxamine mesylate or manganese desferrioxamine mesylate.
- Paramagnetic metal ions may be conveniently selec ⁇ ted from those of the metal elements having atomic 15 numbers of from 21 to 29, 42, and 44 and from 57 to 83, preferably from among iron, manganese, copper, chromium, nickel, gadolinium, holmium, europium, dy ⁇ sprosium, lanthanum, ytterbium, terbium, erbium and sa ⁇ marium. 20.
- Preferred concentration ranges for paramagnetic contrast media in the formulations of this invention have been individually determined and they have shown to be far lower than the ranges preferred when these agents are used to obtain T,-weighted images (see 25 Laniado, and experimental examples from 1 to 6).
- concentration ranges of the above-mentioned agents in the formulations object of the invention are between 0.01 and 0.8 - preferably between 0.02 and 0.4 - times the concentration which gives the highest water 0 signal with T.-weighted sequences with , the same compounds.
- Examples 1 to 6 do not limit the invention and only •report concentration intervals obtained for some preferred contrast agents which were used to produce the formulations of the present invention. Applying the procedure disclosed in the given examples to any para ⁇ magnetic agent with the intention of determining the potentially useful ranges of concentration, should not present any major difficulty for skilled technicians.
- concentration intervals useful for obtaining images using T 2 -weighted sequences for some of the preferred paramagnetic agents of this invention are herein reported:
- Preferred formulations of this invention may also contain suitable additives, for instance, excipients which are useful for controlling the transit speed of the administered bolus, or for keeping the dilution of the formulation in the lumen fluid within the desired operation limits. Particularly desired are also additives useful for maintaining the homogeneity and the initial concentra ⁇ tion of the formulations after patient administration.
- Xanthan gum may be, for instance, a useful agent influencing viscosity.
- Other possible excipients useful for meeting the above mentioned criteria may be selected from among those usually used in pharmaceutical techniques. Non-limiting examples include: carrageenines, alginates, pectins, carboxy - methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellul ⁇ se, polyvi ⁇ nylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, barium sulphate, kaolin and bentonite,
- the preferred concentration varies according to the type of excipient used and according to the administration route. In any case, the viscosity of formulations should be kept between 0 and 700 mPa " s.
- the formulations of this invention may also contain other physiologically tolerable additives, which make them isotonic.
- physiologically tolerable additives such as sodium chloride (NaCl),. potassium chloride (KC1) , sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO-), sodium sulphate (Na 2 SO.) , alcoholic sugars such as glucose or mannitol and/or ionic or neutral iodinated organic compounds, usually known or used as X-ray contrast media, are useful for this purpose.
- This invention is also aimed at obtaining a method for producing images of wall organic alterations (whether neoplastic or not) of the GI tract, the bladder and/or the cavities of the female reproductive apparatus.
- This method foresees the oral or retrograde administration to patients of a suitable dose of a paramagnetic formulation according to the invention. Patients are submitted to NMR tomography following the most appropriate operating conditions, that is to say, for instance, double echo sequences, proton-density (SE
