Development of 153Sm-DTPA-SPION as a theranostic dual contrast agents in SPECT/MRI
Objective(s): This study describes the preparation, biodistribution of 153Sm-DTPA-SPION after intravenous injection in rats. Materials and Methods: The chelator DTPA dianhydride was conjugated to SPION using a small modification of the well-known cyclic anhydride method. Conjugation was done at a 1: 4 (SPION: ccDTPA) molar ratio. Conjugation reaction was purified with magnetic assorting column...
متن کاملNovel Metalloporphyrins as Molecular MR Contrast Agents
Introduction: To date, no imaging methodology exists which can image prostate cancer in vivo with sufficient sensitivity and specificity for diagnostic utility. As a consequence, urological surgeons and oncologists proceed with treatment strategies based on ‘blind’ biopsy tissue specimens and limited diagnostic evaluations using conventional MRI and ultrasound. In these experiments, we have inv...
متن کاملMR Contrast Agents
Despite the excellent soft tissue contrast pro› vided by plain MRI, the use of intravascular contrast agents is often performed in a variety of clinical settings being an instrumental component of many MR studies. Several compounds have been developed for contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the abdomen, with the purpose of increasing tumor detection and differentiation between normal and pathologic...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Chitosan Coated Manganese Zinc Ferrite Nanoparticles as MRI Contrast Agents
Manganese zinc ferrite nanoparticles (MZF NPs) were synthesized by using a direct, efficient and environmental friendly hydrothermal method. To improve the colloidal stability of MZF NPs for biomedical applications, NPs were coated with chitosan by ionic gelation technique using sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) as crosslinker. The synthesized NPs were characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD) analy...
متن کاملRedox-sensitive contrast agents for MRI based on reversible binding of thiols to serum albumin.
DOTA-based complexes of gadolinium (Gd) bearing a thiol moiety on a propyl or hexyl arm were synthesized. It was hypothesized that these complexes would form reversible covalent linkages with human serum albumin (HSA), which contains a reactive thiol at cysteine-34. The binding constant of the hexyl complex to HSA was measured to be 64 mM(-1) and decreased to 17, 6.1, and 3.6 mM(-1) in the pres...
