A novel dual-imaging cisplatin-carrying molecular cargo capable of performing simultaneous optical and MR imaging is reported herein. This long-lasting MRI contrast agent (r<sub>1</sub> relaxivity of 23.4 mM<sup>-1</sup>s<sup>-1</sup> at 3T, 25 <sup>o</sup>C) is a photo-activated cisplatin prodrug (<b>PtGdL</b>) which enables real-time monitoring of anti-cancer efficacy. <b>PtGdL</b> is a model for monitoring the drug delivery and anti-cancer efficacy by MRI with a much longer retention time (24 ...[more]
