Stable manganese(II) chelates are of great interest for the design and development of safe and effective non-gadolinium(III)-based targeted MRI contrast agents for MR cancer molecular imaging. In this study, a CLT1 peptide targeted G3 nanoglobular Mn(II)-DOTA monoamide conjugate was designed and synthesized as a targeted MRI contrast agent for molecular imaging of the fibrin-fibronectin complexes or oncofetal fibronectin in tumor stroma. The targeted contrast agent comprised 2 peptides and 42 Mn ...[more]
