Abstract
One major challenge in noninvasive mapping of various molecular targets is their inherently low in vivo concentration coupled with the insensitivity of imaging modalities, such as the widely used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Development of agents with high sensitivity and specificity is of paramount importance for structural and functional noninvasive imaging. The design, synthesis, and physiochemical characterization of two gadolinium-based contrast agents (CAs) for MRI, the sensitivity of which was optimized by exploiting the well-established biotin–avidin amplification strategies, are reported. The relaxivity of these agents showed a large increase if bound to avidin; specifically, the first compound showed an approximately 1000  increase in transverse proton relaxivity (r2p), whereas the second compound had an approximately 250  r2p increase. The increase in r2p was magnetic field independent in the range of 1.5–16.4 T whereas the longitudinal proton relaxivity (r1p) showed strong field dependence. The CAs were further characterized by measuring luminescence lifetimes and emission spectral changes upon addition of avidin to their Eu3+ analogues. The difference in relaxation rate behavior of both complexes was explained on the basis of hydration number modulation and the “global/internal motion concept”. The association constant of these CAs with avidin was found to be in the range of approximately 1015 M−1, which shows that the coupling of biotin to Gd-DO3A did not affect its affinity for binding to avidin (DO3A=1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid).
