Potentiometric and Relaxometric Properties of a Gadolinium-based MRI Contrast Agent for Sensing Tissue pH

TL;DR: Examination of the nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion and relaxivity temperature profiles, coupled with information from potentiometric titrations, shows that the amphoteric character of the phosphonate side chains enables rapid prototropic exchange between the single bound water of the complex with the bulk water thereby giving Gd1 a unique pH-dependent relaxivity that is quite useful for the pH mapping of tissues by MRI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinetic inertness of the Mn2+ complexes formed with AAZTA and some open-chain EDTA derivatives.

TL;DR: The results of systematic equilibrium, kinetic, and relaxometric investigations carried out on the Mn(2+) complexes of open-chain and AAZTA ligands indicate that the [Mn(CDTA)](2-) complex has satisfactorily high kinetic inertness, which may allow its use as a contrast agent in the field of magnetic resonance imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stable and Inert Mn(II)-Based and pH-Responsive Contrast Agents

TL;DR: The first example of a Mn(II) complex that can be activated by changing the pH of its local environment is reported, finding the PC2A-EA ligand with an ethylamine pendant arm to form thermodynamically stable and kinetically inert complex.
