NOVEL X-RAY INTERCEPTING METAL COMPLEXES OF CHLORIN DERIVATIVES

摘要

Novel X-ray intercepting gold complexes of mono-L-aspartyl (or mono-L-glutamyl)chlorin e6, and salts thereof, which can cause lesions of tumors, solid cancers or arteriosclerosis to be sharply imaged by radiography and enable the therapy of the lesions by X-ray irradiation. Similar platinum complexes can be also prepared in similar manners.
