- Dicarboxylic acid-bis(3,5-dicarbamoyl-2,4,6-triiodoanilides) and x-ray contrast media containing them
-
Dicarboxylic acid bis-(3,5-dicarbomoyl-2,4,6-triiodoanilides) of general formula I STR1 wherein the amide radicals --CONR1 R2 and --CONR3 R4 are different from one another and R1 is a hydrogen, a lower alkyl radical or R2, R2 is a straight-chain or branched-chain monohydroxy or polyhydroxy alkyl radical, R3 is hydrogen, a lower alkyl radical or R4, R4 is a straight-chain or branched-chain monohydroxy or polyhydroxy alkyl radical, R5 is hydrogen, a lower alkyl radical or a monohydroxy or polyhydroxy alkyl radical, X is a straight-chain or branched-chain alkylene with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, which optionally can be substituted by 1 to 6 hydroxy or alkoxy groups or interrupted by one or more oxygen atoms, possess good pharmacological and physicochemical properties rendering them outstandingly suitable as radiopaque substances in X-ray contrast media for use in all fields of application for X-ray contrast media.

- Non-ionic polyol contrast media from ionic contrast media
-
Novel non-ionic contrast media of a hitherto unknown combination of low osmolality and low viscosity are efficiently prepared from generally available ionic contrast media or non-iodinated precursors. Particularly, polyhydroxyhalo-hydrocarbons are employed with a triiodo-substituted acylamido benzoic acids in aqueous weakly basic media to selectively substitute the amido nitrogen, followed by activation of the carboxyl group for amide formation.
