项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY (30-line limit) Deadly diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, lung injury, constrictive bronchiolitis, and pulmonary fibrosis affect >300 million people worldwide and cause ~3 million annual deaths. However, there is currently no widespread clinical imaging modality to perform high-resolution functional lung imaging: Computed Tomography (CT), conventional MRI, and X-ray can only provide structural images of dense tissues—informing about pathologies like tumors and pneumonia—but yielding little or no information about lung ventilation, perfusion, alveoli size, gas-exchange efficiency, etc. This state of affairs contrasts with cancer imaging, which includes MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and others, which collectively enable early detection (via population screening), diagnoses, and monitoring response to treatment. MRI of hyperpolarized noble gases (129Xe and 3He) reports on lung function: ventilation, diffusion, and gas exchange. Despite remarkable research breakthroughs in this field demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of hyperpolarized noble gas MRI to detect a wide range of lung diseases and monitor response to treatment (over the past 20+ years of studies), the prospects for widespread clinical adaptation of this imaging modality face major challenges, including (i) the high cost and complexity of the equipment for production of hyperpolarized noble gases, and (ii) the requirement for a highly specialized custom MRI scanner capable of 129Xe or 3He imaging – note, all FDA-approved clinical MRI scanners can image only protons. We have been developing a new technology of Parahydrogen Induced Polarization (PHIP) for production of pure proton- hyperpolarized hydrocarbon gases via pairwise parahydrogen addition to an unsaturated precursor (e.g., vinyl ether proposed here). This high-throughput technology is remarkably simple and low-cost. Most importantly, it can be deployed on FDA-approved MRI scanners without any additional of hardware and software upgrades. Here we propose applying this technology for production of diethyl ether, which has a rich history of use as the first inhalable anesthetic, which has revolutionized the field of medicine. Specifically, we propose to develop and optimize the process of clinical-scale production of a human dose of less than 100 mL of gas. Once inhaled, this low dose diethyl ether will render in vivo concentration, which is no longer is flammable. Therefore, we envision the use of low-dose proton-hyperpolarized diethyl ether as a safe MRI contrast agent. We will also perform detailed mapping of relaxation properties of this novel HP contrast agents, and will perform feasibility imaging studies in phantoms and excised animal lungs. We envision that this new safe inhalable contrast agent can revolutionize pulmonary imaging and pulmonary medicine in general.

项目摘要（30线限制）致命疾病，例如慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD），哮喘，肺损伤，狭窄细支气管炎和肺纤维化影响全球> 3亿人，每年约300万人死亡。但是，目前尚无宽度临床成像方式来执行高分辨率功能性肺成像：计算机断层扫描（CT），常规MRI和X射线只能提供密集的结构图像组织 - 关于肿瘤和肺炎等病理的信息，但几乎没有或没有有关肺的信息通风，灌注，肺泡尺寸，气体交换效率等。这种状况与癌症形成鲜明对比成像，包括MRI，CT，超声，乳房X线摄影，正电子发射断层扫描（PET）等，其他共同实现了早期检测（通过人群筛查），诊断和监测对治疗。超极化贵重气体（129xE和3HE）关于肺功能的报告：通风，扩散，和汽油交换。尽管在该领域的研究突破表明了有效性和超极化贵重气体MRI的安全性检测多种肺部疾病并监测对治疗（在过去20多年的研究中），该成像的宽度临床适应的前景方式面临着主要挑战，包括（i）生产设备的高成本和复杂性超极化的贵重气体，以及（ii）高度专业的自定义MRI扫描仪的要求 129XE或3HE成像 - 注意，所有经FDA批准的临床MRI扫描仪都可以仅对质子成像。我们去过开发一种新技术的寄生虫诱导的极化（PHIP），用于生产纯质子通过成对的偏二二氢添加不饱和前体（例如乙烯基），超极化的烃类气体以太提议在这里）。这种高通量技术非常简单且低成本。最重要的是，它可以在FDA批准的MRI扫描仪上部署，而无需任何其他硬件和软件升级。在这里，我们建议将这项技术应用于二乙醚的生产，该技术具有丰富的用作历史首先吸入的麻醉剂，它彻底改变了医学领域。具体来说，我们建议开发和优化少于100 mL气体的人剂量的临床规模产生过程。吸入后，这是低剂量的二乙醚将在体内浓度中呈现，这不再是易燃的。因此，我们设想使用低剂量质子 - 高磨砂二乙醚作为安全的MRI对比剂。我们也会表演这种新型HP对比剂的松弛特性的详细映射，并将执行可行性成像在幻影和优秀的动物肺部研究。我们设想这个新的安全吸入对比代理可以一般而言，彻底改变了肺成像和肺医学。
