We report the synthesis of DO3A derivatives of 2,2'-diaminobiphenyl (1a,b) and their Gd complexes of the type [Gd(1)(H2O)]·xH2O (2a,b) for use as new MRI blood-pool contrast agents (BPCAs) that provide strong and prolonged vascular enhancement. Pharmacokinetic inertness of 2 compares well with that of structurally related Dotarem, a DOTA-based MRI CA currently in use. The R 1 relaxivity in water reaches 7.3 mM(-1) s(-1), which is approximately twice as high as that of Dotarem (R 1 = 3.9 mM(-1) s ...[more]
