Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a blood vessel imaging reagent, a compound that can be used in the reagent, and the like.
  • Living tissue (organ) cells acquire necessary nutrients and oxygen from the blood and release synthesized metabolites and carbon dioxide into the blood. For this reason, the vascular system plays an important role in life support. If for some reason an abnormality occurs in the vascular system, the surrounding tissue cells will not be able to perform their full function.
  • arteriosclerosis in which lipid components such as cholesterol accumulate in the intima of the arteries and form atherosclerotic foci called atherosclerosis, and liver cirrhosis, which causes fibrosis between blood vessels and hepatocytes, are deeply disrupted in the vascular system. I am involved.
  • the formation of angiogenesis cannot follow the abnormal proliferation of cells, so many immature and abnormally shaped blood vessels can be seen. Therefore, it is important to visualize and image the shape and running of blood vessels in a living individual in the above-mentioned diagnosis and treatment of pathological conditions.
  • a method of administering a contrast medium in blood and imaging with MRI and a method using photoacoustic imaging technology are known. Although these provide insights into the human vascular network, they are large-scale and unsuitable for small animals. Moreover, it does not have the spatial resolution at the single cell level.
  • the imaging technique using light can easily realize the spatial resolution at the single cell level by combining with a microscope in addition to high sensitivity, convenience, and real-time measurement.
  • an important element is a probe molecule that exists stably in a contaminated environment such as blood and exhibits high-luminance emission.
  • Blood vessel imaging reagents are classified into blood retention type and vascular endothelial adsorption type.
  • the former is a reagent that stays in the blood, and fluorescent dextran and fluorescent nanoparticles have been developed.
  • fluorescent dextran is a reagent in which a fluorescent molecule is covalently bonded to dextran, and various reagents having different molecular weights of dextran are commercially available.
  • fluorescent lectins are commercially available as vascular endothelial adsorption type imaging reagents.
  • Lectin is a general term for proteins that exhibit specific binding to a specific sugar chain, and many of them are derived from animals, plants, and fungi. Of these, plant-derived lectins recognize and bind to sugar chains present on the surface of vascular endothelial cells of mammals including humans. So far, a fluorescent lectin in which fluorescein or Texas red is covalently bonded to tomato lectin has been commercially available (Vector Laboratories). The synthesis of fluorescent lectins requires complicated work to extract tomato lectins from nature, and the number of fluorescent molecules bound to the lectins cannot be controlled.
  • the fluorescent lectin has the following problems. Since it recognizes sugar chains present on the surface of vascular endothelial cells, only plant-derived lectins can be used; complicated work is required to extract lectins from nature; since lectins are glycoproteins, luminescent groups can be used. Labeling becomes non-uniform and differences occur between lots; it may be indistinguishable from tissue autofluorescence due to the use of fluorescence.
  • Patent Documents 1 and 2 have not studied the use of this method for visualization of blood vessels.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to develop a new blood vessel imaging reagent that is easy to manufacture, has high sensitivity, and is highly accurate.

  • the present invention provides a blood vessel imaging reagent containing a compound containing oligoarginine and a chromophore. Since the reagent can chemically synthesize a compound for an imaging reagent, it does not require an extraction operation from a natural product and can be easily produced. In addition, the label of the chromophore can be made uniform, and a uniform reagent with a small lot difference can be made, which enables highly accurate imaging. When a phosphorescent compound is used as the chromophore, autofluorescence can be eliminated by time-resolved measurement, and high-sensitivity and high-precision imaging becomes possible.
  • a compound to which 8 or more arginine is bound has excellent binding to the vascular endothelium, and can image the vascular endothelium with higher sensitivity and accuracy.
