Preparation of podate ligand [1,2,4,5-tetrakis(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl-3-carboxylic acid)benzene] and its metal complexes for use as diagnostic imaging agents
Abstract
The invention provides a novel podate ligand H4L[1,2,4,5-tetrakis(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl-3-carboxylic acid)benzene] and to complexes comprising the ligand and a metal ion. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of making and using the metal-podate complex for enhancement of diagnostic imaging are also described.

Medical imaging
Medical imaging is the technique and process of imaging the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues (physiology). Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities.
Magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body. MRI does not involve X-rays or the use of ionizing radiation, which distinguishes it from computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans.
Coordination complex
A coordination complex is a chemical compound consisting of a central atom or ion, which is usually metallic and is called the coordination centre, and a surrounding array of bound molecules or ions, that are in turn known as ligands or complexing agents. Many metal-containing compounds, especially those that include transition metals (elements like titanium that belong to the periodic table's d-block), are coordination complexes. Coordination complexes are so pervasive that their structures and reactions are described in many ways, sometimes confusingly.
