We have proposed recently that the DO3A-N-α-(amino)propionate chelator and its amide conjugates are leads to targeted, high relaxivity, safe contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. In this work we illustrate further the expeditious nature and robustness of the synthetic methodologies developed by preparing the DO3A-N-(α-pyrenebutanamido)propionate chelator. Its Gd3+ chelate retains the optimized water e...
Fe[Gd2bpy(DTTA)2(H2O)4]34- is a self-assembled, metallostar-structured potential MRI contrast agent, with six efficiently relaxing Gd3+ centres confined into a small molecular space. Its proton relaxivity is particularly remarkable at very high magnetic fields (r1 = 15.8 mM-1 s-1 at 200 MHz, 37°C, in H2O). Here we report the first in vivo MRI feasibility study, complemented with dynamic gamma scintigraphic imag...
