Abstract: | Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange in SHield Enabled Alignment Transfer (SABRE-SHEATH) is investigated to achieve rapid hyperpolarization of 13C1 spins of 1-13C]pyruvate, using parahydrogen as the source of nuclear spin order. Pyruvate exchange with an iridium polarization transfer complex can be modulated via a sensitive interplay between temperature and co-ligation of DMSO and H2O. Order-unity 13C (>50 %) polarization of catalyst-bound 1-13C]pyruvate is achieved in less than 30 s by restricting the chemical exchange of 1-13C]pyruvate at lower temperatures. On the catalyst bound pyruvate, 39 % polarization is measured using a 1.4 T NMR spectrometer, and extrapolated to >50 % at the end of build-up in situ. The highest measured polarization of a 30-mM pyruvate sample, including free and bound pyruvate is 13 % when using 20 mM DMSO and 0.5 M water in CD3OD. Efficient 13C polarization is also enabled by favorable relaxation dynamics in sub-microtesla magnetic fields, as indicated by fast polarization buildup rates compared to the T1 spin-relaxation rates (e. g., ~0.2 s?1 versus ~0.1 s?1, respectively, for a 6 mM catalyst-1-13C]pyruvate sample). Finally, the catalyst-bound hyperpolarized 1-13C]pyruvate can be released rapidly by cycling the temperature and/or by optimizing the amount of water, paving the way to future biomedical applications of hyperpolarized 1-13C]pyruvate produced via comparatively fast and simple SABRE-SHEATH-based approaches. |
