Contrast media

The invention provides low viscosity iodinated aryl compounds, useful as X-ray contrast agents of formula Iwherein n is 0 or 1, and where n is 1 each C6R5 moiety may be the same or different; X denotes a bond or a group providing a 1 to 7 atom chain linking two C6R5 moieties or, where n is 0, X deno...

More Information
Summary:The invention provides low viscosity iodinated aryl compounds, useful as X-ray contrast agents of formula Iwherein n is 0 or 1, and where n is 1 each C6R5 moiety may be the same or different; X denotes a bond or a group providing a 1 to 7 atom chain linking two C6R5 moieties or, where n is 0, X denotes a group R; each group R is a hydrogen atom, an iodine atom or a hydrophilic moiety M or M1, two or three non-adjacent R groups in each C6R5 moiety being iodine and at least one R group in each C6R5 moiety being an M or M1 moiety; each M which may be the same or different, is a non-ionic hydrophilic moiety; and each M1 independently represents a -CHOHCON(R1)2 group wherein each R1, which may be the same or different, is a hydrogen atom, an OH group or a C1-6 alkoxy or optionally hydroxylated C1-5 alkyl group; at least one R group in the molecule being an M1 moiety; and isomers thereof.
