Hyperpolarized Amino Acid Derivatives as Multivalent Magnetic Resonance pH Sensor Molecules
pH is a tightly regulated physiological parameter that is often altered in diseased states like cancer. The development of biosensors that can be used to non-invasively image pH with hyperpolarized (HP) magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging has therefore recently gained tremendous interest. However, most of the known HP-sensors have only individually and not comprehensively been analyzed for...
متن کاملDynamic nuclear polarization of biocompatible (13)C-enriched carbonates for in vivo pH imaging.
A hyperpolarization technique using carbonate precursors of biocompatible molecules was found to yield high concentrations of hyperpolarized (13)C bicarbonate in solution. This approach enabled large signal gains for low-toxicity hyperpolarized (13)C pH imaging in a phantom and in vivo in a murine model of prostate cancer.
متن کاملHyperpolarized Xenon Brain MRI
Since hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI was first demonstrated in the lung, air space imaging using hyperpolarized noble gases (129Xe and 3He) has progressed at a rapid rate (Goodson, 2002; Zhou, 2011c). Owing to high lipid solubility, absence of background signal in biological tissue, non-invasiveness, lack of radioactivity, different relaxation to oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, and larger chemical...
متن کاملImaging of pH in vivo using hyperpolarized 13C-labelled zymonic acid
Natural pH regulatory mechanisms can be overruled during several pathologies such as cancer, inflammation and ischaemia, leading to local pH changes in the human body. Here we demonstrate that 13C-labelled zymonic acid (ZA) can be used as hyperpolarized magnetic resonance pH imaging sensor. ZA is synthesized from [1-13C]pyruvic acid and its 13C resonance frequencies shift up to 3.0 p.p.m. per p...
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...
متن کاملIn Vivo Monitoring of Rat Spinal Cord Metabolism Using Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 MR Spectroscopic Imaging.
This study demonstrated the feasibility of using hyperpolarized 13C-MR spectroscopic imaging with [1-13C]-pyruvate to evaluate in vivo spinal cord metabolism. High pyruvate and relatively small lactate signal were observed in the cervical spinal cords of naive rats. Lactate and pyruvate measures were similar for spinal cord and supratentorial brain. The results from this study establish baselin...
