Next generation, high relaxivity gadolinium MRI agents.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has evolved into one of the most powerful techniques in diagnostic clinical medicine and biomedical research by enabling the acquisition of high resolution, three-dimensional images of the distribution of water in vivo (1). The strong expansion of medical MRI has prompted the development of a new class of pharmacological products, called contrast agents. These a...
متن کاملP22 viral capsids as nanocomposite high-relaxivity MRI contrast agents.
Attachment of multiple chelated Gd(3+) ions to the interior of bacteriophage P22 viral capsids affords nanoscale MRI contrast agents with extremely high relaxivity values. Highly fenestrated "wiffleball" morphology is unique to P22 and assures water exchange between the environment and interior cavity of the capsid. The cavity of P22 "wiffleball" was functionalized with a branched oligomer comp...
متن کاملGadolinium(III) 1,2-hydroxypyridonate-based complexes: toward MRI contrast agents of high relaxivity.
Prospective gadolinium(III) MRI contrast agent precursors [Gd-TREN-1,2-HOPO] (1) [TREN-1,2-HOPO = tris[(1-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-6-carboxamido)ethyl]amine] and [Gd-TREN-bis(Me-3,2-HOPO)-1,2-HOPO] (2) have been synthesized and characterized by relaxometric measurements. The water proton relaxivity values of 1 and 2 (20 MHz and 25 degrees C) are 9.5 and 9.3 mM(-)(1)s(-)(1), respectivel...
متن کاملTobacco mosaic virus rods and spheres as supramolecular high-relaxivity MRI contrast agents.
To compensate for the low sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nanoparticles have been developed to deliver high payloads of contrast agents to sites of disease. Here, we report the development of supramolecular MRI contrast agents using the plant viral nanoparticle tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Rod-shaped TMV nanoparticles measuring 300×18 nm were loaded with up to 3,500 or 2,000 che...
متن کاملEvaluation of Dendritic Gadolinium Complexes as MRI Contrast Agents
A series of dendritic gadolinium complexes based on dendrimers with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane as the core were synthesized. Both diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid and pyridoxamine were incorporated to the amine groups on the surface to give the dendritic ligands. These dendritic ligands were then reacted with gadolinium chloride to yield the corresponding dendritic gadolinium complexes. T...
