Lanthanide chelates containing pyridine units with potential application as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging

A new pyridine-containing ligand, N,N'-bis(6-carboxy-2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid (H(4)L), has been designed for the complexation of lanthanide ions. (1)H and (13)C NMR studies in D(2)O solutions show octadentate binding of the ligand to the Ln(III) ions through the nitrogen atoms of two amine groups, the oxygen atoms of four carboxylates, and the two nitrogen atoms of the pyridine rings. Luminescence measurements demonstrate that both Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes are nine-coordinate, whereby a water molecule completes the Ln(III) coordination sphere. Ligand L can sensitize both the Eu(III) and Tb(III) luminescence; however, the quantum yields of the Eu(III)- and Tb(III)-centered luminescence remain modest. This is explained in terms of energy differences between the singlet and triplet states on the one hand, and between the 0-phonon transition of the triplet state and the excited metal ion states on the other. The anionic [Ln(L)(H2O)]- complexes (Ln=La, Pr, and Gd) were also characterized by theoretical calculations both in vacuo and in aqueous solution (PCM model) at the HF level by means of the 3-21G* basis set for the ligand atoms and a 46+4 f(n) effective core potential for the lanthanides. The structures obtained from these theoretical calculations are in very good agreement with the experimental solution structures, as demonstrated by paramagnetic NMR measurements (lanthanide-induced shifts and relaxation-rate enhancements). Data sets obtained from variable-temperature (17)O NMR at 7.05 T and variable-temperature (1)H nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) on the Gd(III) complex were fitted simultaneously to give insight into the parameters that govern the water (1)H relaxivity. The water exchange rate (k(298)(ex)=5.0 x 10(6) s(-1)) is slightly faster than in [Gd(dota)(H2O)]- (DOTA=1,4,7,10-tetrakis(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane). Fast rotation limits the relaxivity under the usual MRI conditions.     

Synthesis and relaxivity of polyamide paramagnetic metal complexes for magnetic resonance imaging

A new class of paramagnetic macromolecular magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents has been developed. Eight new polyamide ligands were synthesized by copolymerization of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dianhydride or diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid dianhydride and diamine monomers. Their gadolinium(III), manganese(II) and iron(III) complexes were also synthesized. All polyamide ligands and metal complexes were characterized by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectra and elemental analyses. Relaxivity studies showed that the polyamide paramagnetic metal complexes had obviously higher relaxation effectiveness as compared to corresponding simple monomeric paramagnetic metal complexes.     

High-relaxivity magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent based on supramolecular assembly between a gadolinium chelate, a modified dextran, and poly-beta-cyclodextrin

Nanosized contrast agents have great potential in magnetic resonance molecular imaging applications for clinical diagnosis. This study proposes new nanoparticles spontaneously formed under mild conditions and composed of a noncovalent adduct between a gadolinium complex, a polymer of beta-cyclodextrin (pbetaCD: MW 1.5 x 10(6) g mol(-1)) and a dextran grafted with alkyl chains (MD). The formation of this supramolecular nanoassembly is based upon a "lock-and-key" recognition process in which the hydrophobic alkyl chains of MD and the adamantyl moieties of macrocyclic Gd(III) chelates are included in the cavities of pbetaCD. The large number of betaCDs contained in the pbetaCD resulted in the formation of 200 nm diameter nanoparticles, each entrapping 1.8 x 10(5) molecules of a low-molecular-weight Gd complex. This system, which exhibits a great relaxivity enhancement (48.4 mM(-1) s(-1), at 20 MHz and 37 degrees C) compared to the Gd(III) chelate itself (5.2 mM(-1) s(-1)), appears to be a promising strategy for the in vivo targeted delivery of Gd(III) complexes. The mechanisms of particle formation, conjugation strategies, and relaxometric characterizations in the field of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging are discussed.     

Novel radical‐responsive MRI contrast agent based on paramagnetic liposomes

A novel, radical responsive MRI contrast agent based on a gadolinium chelate conjugated to a liposome through a disulfide linker was synthesized, with the aim of pursuing the in vivo mapping of radicals. The liposome was prepared by incorporating a thiol‐activated phospholipid, which was subsequently reacted with a gadolinium chelate containing a free thiol group. The long reorientational motion of the supramolecular adduct endows the paramagnetic agent with a relaxivity significantly higher than that of the free complex. The disulfide bond represents a radical‐sensitive moiety and a large decrease in contrast efficacy (T₁ relaxivity) is shown upon its cleavage. A preliminary assessment of the system was made by means of in vitro gamma‐irradiation and thiol–disulfide bond exchange with dithiothreitol. Both methods showed a clear dose‐dependent decrease in T₁‐relaxivity. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Gd3+-based magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent sensitive to beta-galactosidase activity utilizing a receptor-induced magnetization enhancement (RIME) phenomenon

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) permits noninvasive three-dimensional imaging of opaque organisms. Gadolinium (Gd(3+)) complexes have become important imaging tools as MRI contrast agents for MRI studies, though most of them are nonspecific and report solely on anatomy. Recently, MRI contrast agents have been reported whose ability to relax water protons is triggered or greatly enhanced by recognition of a particular biomolecule. This new class of MRI contrast agents could open up the possibility of reporting on the physiological state or metabolic activity deep within living specimens. One possible strategy for this purpose is to utilize the increase in the longitudinal water proton r(1) relaxivity that occurs upon slowing the molecular rotation of a small paramagnetic complex, a phenomenon which is known as receptor-induced magnetization enhancement (RIME), by either binding to a macromolecule or polymerization of the agent itself. Here we describe the design and synthesis of a novel beta-galactosidase-activated MRI contrast agent, the Gd(3+) complex [Gd-5], by using the RIME approach. beta-Galactosidase is commonly used as a marker gene to monitor gene expression. This newly synthesized compound exhibited a 57% increase in the r(1) relaxivity in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with 4.5% w/v human serum albumin (HSA) in the presence of beta-galactosidase. Detailed investigations revealed that RIME is the dominant factor in this increase of the observed r(1) relaxivity, based on analysis of Gd(3+) complexes [Gd-5] and [Gd-8], which is generated from [Gd-5] by the activity of beta-galactosidase, and spectroscopic analysis of their corresponding Tb(3+) complexes, [Tb-5] and [Tb-8].
