TARGETING AND THERAPEUTIC COMPOUNDS AND GAS-FILLED MICROVESICLES COMPRISING SAID COMPOUNDS

摘要

New targeting or therapeutic compounds which can be incorporated into a composition of gas-filled microvesicles. The invention further relates to gas-filled microvesicles for diagnostic and/or therapeutic use comprising said compounds and to their method of use. The new compounds are compounds of formula M-S-T, wherein: M represents a component capable of associating with an envelope of a gas-filled microvesicle; T represents a component comprising a targeting ligand or a therapeutic agent; and S represents a component comprising at least two bissulfone groups.
