Chemistry of MRI Contrast Agents: Current Challenges and New Frontiers

TL;DR: This comprehensive review describes the state of the art of clinically approved contrast agents, their mechanism of action, and factors influencing their safety and efforts to make safer contrast agents either by increasing relaxivity, increasing resistance to metal ion release, or by moving to gadolinium(III)-free alternatives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lanthanide(III) complexes with ligands derived from a cyclen framework containing pyridinecarboxylate pendants. The effect of steric hindrance on the hydration number.

TL;DR: A simultaneous fitting of the NMRD profiles and variable temperature 17O NMR chemical shifts and transversal relaxation rates provided the parameters governing the relaxivity in [Gd(DODPA)]+.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stable Mn2+, Cu2+ and Ln3+ complexes with cyclen-based ligands functionalized with picolinate pendant arms

TL;DR: The results of the equilibrium, dissociation kinetics, DFT and X-ray crystallographic studies performed on the complexes of metal ions of biomedical importance formed with octadentate ligands based on a cyclen platform incorporating two picolinate pendant arms are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solution structure of Ln(III) complexes with macrocyclic ligands through theoretical evaluation of 1H NMR contact shifts.

TL;DR: An excellent agreement was observed between the experimental and calculated pseudocontact shifts using the DFT-optimized geometries as structural models of the complexes in solution, which demonstrates that the computational approach used provides good structural models for the complexes, and accurate HFCCs at the ligand nuclei.
