Description

Contrast agent for pyelonephritis nuclear magnetic angiography and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of diagnostic reagents, and particularly relates to a contrast agent for pyelonephritis nuclear magnetic angiography and application thereof.
Background
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) produces a fine description of human anatomy and pathology with high spatial resolution. To increase the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of MRI, for example for imaging cancer, infection, neurological and heart diseases, contrast material is often administered intravenously before and/or during imaging to improve signal.
MRI imaging is carried out by utilizing disordered small magnetic moments formed by hydrogen protons at each part of a human body to generate different vibrations in a radio frequency magnetic field, releasing energy just absorbed by each hydrogen proton after radio frequency pulse evacuation, converting released radio signals into gray pixels of each fault, and completing by gradient magnetic fields GX, GY and GZ for spatial positions of different faults and spatial positions of each hydrogen proton. The MRI signal intensity of water protons in human tissue is dependent on many factors (spin density NH, imaging volume parameter fV, longitudinal relaxation time T1, transverse relaxation time T2, and scan times TE and TR), the two most important of which are relaxation times T1 and T2. Some compounds containing paramagnetic nuclei can be used to significantly alter T1 and T2 of the surrounding hydrogen nuclei, enhancing contrast of imaging, such paramagnetic species being referred to as contrast agents. The action principle is that a local magnetic field generated by a paramagnetic substance has an acceleration effect on the relaxation rate of adjacent detected nuclei such as water protons 1H (the rate of the process of dissipating energy from the detected nuclei excited to a high energy state by radio frequency and then returning to a low energy state), so that the image signal of magnetic resonance imaging depending on the relaxation rate (1/T1 or 1/T2) is enhanced, and the contrast and the definition of the image are improved. According to this principle, when used as contrast agent, the paramagnetic metal chelate actually functions as the paramagnetic metal ion, and the main function of the chelating agent is to form a stable and water-soluble chelate from the paramagnetic metal ion, thereby reducing the toxicity of the metal ion and facilitating the use of the metal ion.
The most common MRI contrast materials are based on molecular complexes containing the paramagnetic metal gadolinium (Gd). In the united states, all nine FDA-approved MRI contrast agents are Gd-based. Gd has strong "paramagnetism" which results in a local increase in MRI signal of T1-weighted images. However, gd-based contrast agents can lead to a rare but severely debilitating condition known as Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF), a syndrome involving extensive fibrosis of the skin, joints, eyes and internal organs. The WHO and FDA have issued restrictions on the use of these agents in patients with renal insufficiency/failure, with the FDA prescribing a "black box" warning on all commercially available media containing gadolinium. As a result, millions of patients in the united states, and more worldwide, are no longer able to accept contrast material for MRI, severely limiting the detection and characterization of several diseases.
In order to solve the technical problems, the Chinese granted patent CN108743977B discloses an application of a heavy metal ion-free porphyrin compound as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging, aiming at the problems that the contrast of a normal tissue and a lesion part observed clinically is not obvious and the diagnosis is difficult due to low sensitivity of the magnetic resonance imaging, and the heavy metal ion-containing contrast agent is easy to increase the metabolic burden of the liver and the kidney of a patient and the like.
As another example, chinese granted patent CN107087397B discloses the use of ascorbic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and co-formulated meglumine, glucose, galactose, fructose, lactose, maltose, sucrose and/or trehalose in the manufacture of a medicament for performing a method of enhancing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images of a body or body region of a subject, the method comprising: parenterally administering to the subject a co-formulated ascorbic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in an MRI image enhancing amount; and then generating an image of the body or body region by MRI of the subject, whereby the co-formulated ascorbic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof enhances the MRI image.
The use of gadolinium (Gd), a metal free from heavy metal ions, as a contrast agent in patients with renal insufficiency/failure is becoming a new direction. However, contrast agents without gadolinium (Gd), which is a heavy metal ion, still have problems such as insufficient contrast. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a contrast agent containing a molecular complex of paramagnetic metal gadolinium (Gd), which can reduce the toxicity of Gd and improve the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging by reducing the concentration of the molecular complex of paramagnetic metal gadolinium (Gd) and increasing the enrichment of Gd in renal tissue.
