TmDOTA-Tetraglycinate Encapsulated Liposomes as pH-Sensitive LipoCEST Agents
Lanthanide DOTA-tetraglycinate (LnDOTA-(gly)₄⁻) complexes contain four magnetically equivalent amide protons that exchange with protons of bulk water. The rate of this base catalyzed exchange process has been measured using chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) NMR techniques as a function of solution pH for various paramagnetic LnDOTA-(gly)₄⁻ complexes to evaluate the effects of lanthan...
متن کاملpH-sensitive liposomes: acid-induced liposome fusion.
Sonicated unilamellar liposomes containing phosphatidylethanolamine and palmitoylhomocysteine fuse rapidly when the medium pH is lowered from 7 to 5. Liposome fusion was demonstrated by (i) mixing of the liposomal lipids as shown by resonance energy transfer, (ii) gel filtration, and (iii) electron microscopy. The pH-sensitive fusion of liposomes was observed only when palmitoylhomocysteine (gr...
متن کاملLiposomes as ultrasound imaging contrast agents and as ultrasound-sensitive drug delivery agents.
Ultrasound imaging contrast agents that exhibit an affinity for specific tissue types, and especially, disease sites, would have considerable clinical value. Liposomal dispersions can be prepared such that they both reflect diagnostic ultrasound [1] and, when conjugated to an appropriate antibody, target themselves to thrombi in the vascular circulation [2]. The procedure for preparation of ult...
متن کاملDevelopment and Characterization of Novel LipoCEST Agents Based on Thermosensitive Liposomes
PURPOSE To develop a novel probe for chemical exchange saturation transfer magnetic resonance imaging (CEST MRI) based on thermosensitive liposomes (lipoCEST) for theranostics, in which diagnostics and therapy are integrated into a single platform. METHODS We developed two kinds of lipoCEST agents. The first kind encapsulated dysprosium (Dy)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic...
متن کاملHyperpolarized 15N-pyridine Derivatives as pH-Sensitive MRI Agents
Highly sensitive MR imaging agents that can accurately and rapidly monitor changes in pH would have diagnostic and prognostic value for many diseases. Here, we report an investigation of hyperpolarized (15)N-pyridine derivatives as ultrasensitive pH-sensitive imaging probes. These molecules are easily polarized to high levels using standard dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) techniques and thei...
