Definitions
- the invention relates to the subject characterized in the claims, that is, a process for the production of gas-containing microparticles for ultrasound diagnostics, the wall material of which is composed of polyesters of ⁇ -, ⁇ - or ⁇ -hydroxycarboxylic acids, particles which can be prepared by this process, and their Use in medical diagnostics.
- Ultrasonic waves are reflected at interfaces from different types of tissue.
- the resulting echo signals are electronically amplified and made visible.
- EP 0 131 540 describes the stabilization of the gas bubbles by sugar. Although this improves the reproducibility and homogeneity of the contrast effect, these bubbles do not survive passage through the lungs.
- EP 0 122 624 and 0 123 235 describe that the gas bubble stabilizing effect of sugars, sugar alcohols and salts is improved by adding surface-active substances.
- These ultrasound contrast agents provide a capillary passability and the possibility of displaying the arterial thigh and various organs such as the liver or spleen.
- the contrast effect is limited to the vessel lumen, since the vesicles are not absorbed by the tissue cells.
- Encapsulation of gases such as air as an ultrasound contrast medium, is described in EP 0 224 934.
- the wall material used here consists of protein, in particular human serum albumin with the known allergenic properties, to which cytoxic effects can be added by denaturation.
- Patent specification EP 0 327 490 describes gas-containing microparticles for ultrasound diagnostics based on biodegradable, synthetic materials.
- ⁇ -, ⁇ - or ⁇ -hydroxycarboxylic acids are also disclosed as biodegradable polymers. Although these agents have a sufficient in vivo lifespan and are enriched intracellularly in the reticuloendothelial system and thus also in the liver or spleen after intravenous administration, the particles based on hydroxycarboxylic acids prepared according to the examples of this application show only a relatively low backscattering coefficient. The diagnostic effectiveness of the contrast medium preparations prepared from it is therefore not satisfactory in all cases.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to provide an improved process for the preparation of microparticles based on polyesters of ⁇ -, ⁇ - or ⁇ -hydroxycarboxylic acids, according to which it is possible to obtain particles which have a better backscatter coefficient than the particles of the prior art Technology.
- the particles and the contrast agent preparations prepared from them should continue to meet the other requirements placed on a modern contrast agent, such as be sufficiently small and stable to reach the left half of the heart after intravenous administration without significant loss of gas and essentially quantitatively, be well tolerated without possessing an allergenic potential and not clump in the aqueous medium.
- microparticles based on polyesters of ⁇ -, ⁇ - or ⁇ -hydroxycarboxylic acids can be produced by the respective polyester and optionally a surface-active substance in an organic solvent or solvent mixture, of which at least one solvent is readily miscible with water is dissolved, then a liquid perfluoro compound or water is dispersed in this solution and then this dispersion is dispersed in water containing a surface-active substance by means of a stirrer, the solvent being removed by introducing gas and applying a vacuum.
- particles precipitate that initially still contain water or the liquid perfluoro compound. Then the particle containing
- the suspension is mixed with a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable cyroprotector and freeze-dried, the liquid in the particles largely escaping and being replaced by the desired gas (usually air) after the lyophilizer has been aerated. Depending on the drying time, a small amount of the liquid (water or perfluoro compound) may remain in the particles as vapor.

- Air, nitrogen and oxygen are used as gases.
- An alternative method for producing microparticles based on polyesters of ⁇ -, ⁇ - or ⁇ -hydroxycarboxylic acids is that the desired polymer (s) and optionally an amino acid is dissolved in at least one organic solvent ( ), this solution is sprayed through a nozzle into a column which is filled with or through which a supercritical gas flows, the solvent being taken up by the supercritical gas.
- the same substances are used as polymers or copolymers as were mentioned in the first-mentioned production process.

- the supercritical gases can optionally contain up to 10% additives such as e.g. lower alcohols such as Ethanol, esters or gases such as Contain nitrogen
- the size of the resulting particles can be controlled via the type, size and shape of the injection nozzle, working pressure and temperature in the column.

- the particles produced by the process according to the invention show a larger backscattering coefficient in comparison to the particles disclosed in EP 0 327 490, which are likewise composed of ⁇ -, ⁇ -, ⁇ -hydroxycarboxylic acids. This could be shown in a comparative experiment. So for a freshly prepared suspension of the particles described in EP 0 327 490 (Example 1) in water (concentration 18.6 mg / ml) after 5 minutes
