Metalloporphyrins and Functional Analogues as MRI Contrast Agents
Following the footprint of porphyrin-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT), paramagnetic metalloporphyrins were originated as tumor seeking contrast agents (CAs) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, serial research has disproved their tumor selectivity, identified nonviable tissues as their real targets, and eventually elicited new applications in myocardial infarction delineation, tiss...
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 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 کاملDevelopment 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...
