TLDR
The obtained results make perdeuterated amino acids excellent candidates for innovative DNP (15)N-MRI applications such as perfusion or targeting studies.
Abstract
The synthesis, NMR properties and preliminary polarization tests on protonated and perdeuterated forms of α-trimethylglutamine (NMe3Gln), α-trimethylglutamate (NMe3Glu) and e-trimethyllysine (NMe3Lys) are reported. The (15)N-permethylated, perdeuterated amino acids display very long (15)N-T1 values, ranging between 190 and 330 s, are well polarized by the dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) procedure, yielding good polarization levels (10%), and appear to be well tolerated by cells and mice. The obtained results make perdeuterated amino acids excellent candidates for innovative DNP (15)N-MRI applications such as perfusion or targeting studies.

Hyperpolarization of Deuterated Metabolites via Remote Cross-Polarization and Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization B

TL;DR: Time scales over which metabolic processes and chemical reactions can be monitored are extended and polarization levels are increased and the lifetimes of the enhanced (13)C polarization during and after transfer from the polarizer to the NMR or MRI system are extended.

Principles of dynamic nuclear polarisation

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of the theories of spin temperature and nuclear relaxation in solids is presented, followed by a short section on the so-called well-resolved solid effect, and a much more detailed one on DNP by thermal mixing in the non-linear low spin-temperature domain.

Production of hyperpolarized [1,4-13C2]malate from [1,4-13C2]fumarate is a marker of cell necrosis and treatment response in tumors

TL;DR: The formation of hyperpolarized 13C-labeled malate from [1,4-13C2]fumarate appears to be a sensitive marker of tumor cell death in vivo and could be used to detect the early response of tumors to treatment.

Long-lived states to sustain hyperpolarized magnetization

TL;DR: A method to preserve enhanced (“hyperpolarized”) magnetization by conversion into long-lived states (LLS) is designed and it is shown that these enhanced long- lived states can be generated for proton spins, which afford sensitive detection.
