Isomeric Co(ii) paraCEST agents as pH responsive MRI probes.

ABSTRACT: A newly discovered isomer of Co(ii) (1,4,8,11-tetrakis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane = CCRM) produces four highly paramagnetically shifted chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) peaks. The 1,8-pendants of the complex are bound in a trans-arrangement to produce a Co(ii) complex of increased kinetic inertness. The isomers have a stabilized Co(ii) center (E1/2 of 540 to 550 mV versus SHE). Both the 1,8 and the 1,4-isomer are excellent pH probes in solution and in tissue homogenate by virtue of their highly paramagnetically shifted amide protons. These isomers produce both a ratiometric pH readout as well as amide proton exchange rate constants that correlate to pH.

Iron(II) PARACEST MRI contrast agents.

Project description:The first examples of Fe(II) PARACEST magnetic resonance contrast agents are reported (PARACEST = paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer). The iron(II) complexes contain a macrocyclic ligand, either 1,4,7-tris(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (L1) or 1,4,7-tris[(5-amino-6-methyl-2-pyridyl)methyl]-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (L2). The macrocycles bind Fe(II) in aqueous solution with formation constants of log K = 13.5 and 19.2, respectively, and maintain the Fe(II) state in the presence of air. These complexes each contain six exchangeable protons for CEST which are amide protons in [Fe(L1)](2+) or amino protons in [Fe(L2)](2+). The CEST peak for the [Fe(L1)](2+) amide protons is at 69 ppm downfield of the bulk water resonance whereas the CEST peak for the [Fe(L2)](2+) amine protons is at 6 ppm downfield of bulk water. CEST imaging using a MRI scanner shows that the CEST effect can be observed in solutions containing low millimolar concentrations of complex at neutral pH, 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM buffer at 25 °C or 37 °C.

CoCEST: cobalt(II) amide-appended paraCEST MRI contrast agents.

Project description:The first examples of air-stable Co(II) paraCEST MRI contrast agents are reported. Amide NH protons on the complexes give rise to CEST peaks that are shifted up to 112 ppm from the bulk water resonance. One complex has multiple CEST peaks that may be useful for ratiometric mapping of pH.

MRI thermometry based on PARACEST agents.

Project description:A novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) thermometry technique is demonstrated in vitro based upon the use of a PARACEST (PARAmagnetic Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer) agent. This new method takes advantage of the high concentration of bulk water (the readout signal for imaging) and the hyperfine frequency shift properties of PARACEST agents. For two prototypes, Dy(1)3+ and Eu(2)-, the chemical shifts (delta, in ppm) of the Ln3+-bound water molecules are linearly dependent on temperature (T, in degrees C) over the range of 20-50 degrees C (delta = 6.9 x T - 944.7 and delta = -0.4 x T + 64.6, respectively). This offers the exciting possibility of improving the temperature dependencies approximately 690- and approximately 40-fold over the most widely used water PRF thermometry (Proton Resonance Frequency: -0.01 ppm/ degrees C).

A Frequency-Selective pH-Responsive paraCEST Agent.

Project description:Paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (paraCEST) agents are well-suited for imaging tissue pH because the basis of CEST, chemical exchange, is inherently sensitive to pH. Several previous pH-sensitive paraCEST agents were based on an exchanging Ln3+ -bound water molecule as the CEST antenna but this design often added additional line-broadening to the bulk water signal due to T2 exchange. We report herein a pH-sensitive paraCEST agent that lacks an inner-sphere water molecule but contains one Ln-bound -OH group for CEST activation. The Yb3+ complex, Yb(1), displayed a single, highly shifted CEST peak originating from the exchangeable Yb-OH proton, the frequency of which changed over the biologically relevant pH range. CEST images of phantoms ranging in pH from 6 to 8 demonstrate the potential of this agent for imaging pH. Initial rodent imaging studies showed that Gd(1) remains in the vascular system much longer than anticipated but is cleared slowly via renal filtration.

Polymeric PARACEST agents for enhancing MRI contrast sensitivity.

Project description:Linear polymers of PARACEST agents were prepared by using classical free radical chain polymerization conditions. The Eu3+-polymers exhibited similar intermediate-to-slow water exchange and CEST characteristics as the Eu3+-monomers. This provided an avenue to lower the detection limit of these imaging agents substantially and makes them potentially useful as MRI sensors for molecular imaging.

A novel class of polymeric pH-responsive MRI CEST agents.

Project description:In this communication, we report that ionizable, tertiary amine-based block copolymers can be used as pH-responsive contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) through the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) mechanism. The CEST signal is essentially "off" when the polymers form micelles near physiological pH but is activated to the "on" state when the micelles dissociate in an acidic environment.

Seven-coordinate Co(II), Fe(II) and six-coordinate Ni(II) amide-appended macrocyclic complexes as ParaCEST agents in biological media.

Project description:The solution chemistry and solid-state structures of the Co(II), Fe(II), and Ni(II) complexes of 7,13-bis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,10-trioxa-7,13-diazacyclopentadecane (L) are reported as members of a new class of paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (paraCEST) MRI contrast agents that contain transition metal ions. Crystallographic data show that nitrogen and oxygen donor atoms of the macrocyclic ligand coordinate to the metal ions to generate complexes with distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry for [Co(L)]Cl2·2H2O or [Fe(L)](CF3SO3)2. The Ni(II) complex [Ni(L)](CF3SO3)2·H2O features a hexadentate ligand in a distorted octahedral geometry. The proton NMR spectra of all three complexes show highly dispersed and relatively sharp proton resonances. The complexes were further characterized by monitoring their dissociation under biologically relevant conditions including solutions containing phosphate and carbonate, ZnCl2, or acidic conditions. Solutions of the paraCEST agents in 20 mM N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N'-ethanesulfonic acid (pH 7.4) and 100 mM NaCl showed highly shifted and intense CEST peaks at 59, 72, and 92 ppm away from bulk water for [Co(L)](2+), [Ni(L)](2+), and [Fe(L)](2+), respectively at 37 °C on a 11.7 T NMR spectrometer. CEST spectra with corresponding rate constants for proton exchange are reported in 4% agarose gel (w/w), rabbit serum, egg white, or buffered solutions. CEST phantoms of 4 mM complex in buffer, 4% agarose gel (w/w), or rabbit serum on a 4.7 T MRI scanner at 37 °C, are compared. The most substantial change was observed for the reactive [Ni(L)](2+), which showed reduced CEST contrast in rabbit serum and egg white. The complexes with the least highly shifted CEST peaks ([Co(L)](2+) and [Ni(L)](2+)) showed a reduction in CEST contrast in 4% agarose gel (w/w) compared to that in buffered solutions, while the CEST effect for [Fe(L)](2+) in 4% agarose gel (w/w) was not substantially different.

Polymeric PARACEST MRI contrast agents as potential reporters for gene therapy.

Project description:Gene therapy is a potentially powerful treatment approach that targets molecular remedies for disease. Among other challenges it remains difficult to monitor gene delivery and its downstream metabolic consequences. Approaches to MRI gene reporters have been reported but few have the potential for translation beyond isolated cell systems. Herein, we report a polycationic polymer MRI contrast agent that binds to DNA in a ratio of one monomer unit per phosphate group of DNA. Significantly, this binding event diminishes the MR contrast signal from the agent itself potentially providing a platform for imaging delivery and release of a gene into cells and tissues. Importantly, we demonstrate here the proof of concept that a positively charged polymeric contrast agent can also act as a transfection agent, delivering the gene for encoding green fluorescent protein into cells. These observations provide support for the radical, new idea of creating a combined transfection/imaging agent for monitoring gene delivery in real time by MRI.

A PARACEST agent responsive to inner- and outer-sphere phosphate ester interactions for MRI applications.

Project description:Eu(S-THP)(3+) is the first PARACEST agent that functions through exchange of hydroxyl protons with water protons in aqueous solution. The CEST spectrum of this complex is strongly pH dependent and modulated by the presence of phosphate esters, as shown for diethyl phosphate and methyl phosphate, which form outer- and inner-sphere complexes, respectively, with Eu(S-THP)(3+). The sensitivity of the alcohol proton environment to interactions with these anions shows that this complex has potential as a responsive PARACEST MRI contrast agent.

Gear Up for a pH Shift: A Responsive Iron(II) 2-Amino-6-picolyl-Appended Macrocyclic paraCEST Agent That Protonates at a Pendent Group.

Project description:Two high-spin Fe(II) and Co(II) complexes of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (CYCLEN) appended with four 2-amino-6-picolyl groups, denoted as [Fe(TAPC)]2+ and [Co(TAPC)]2+, are reported. These complexes demonstrate C2-symmetrical geometry from coordination of two pendents, and they are present in a single diastereomeric form in aqueous solution as shown by 1H NMR spectroscopy and by a single-crystal X-ray structure for the Co(II) complex. A highly shifted but low-intensity CEST (chemical exchange saturation transfer) signal from NH groups is observed at -118 ppm for [Co(TAPC)]2+ at pH 6.0 and 37 °C. A higher intensity CEST peak is observed for [Fe(TAPC)]2+, which demonstrates a pH-dependent frequency shift from -72 to -79 ppm at pH 7.7 to 4.8, respectively, at 37 °C. This shift in the CEST peak correlates with the protonation of the unbound 2-amino-6-picolyl pendents, as suggested by UV-vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy studies at different pH values. Phantom imaging demonstrates the challenges and feasibility of using the [Fe(TAPC)]2+ agent on a low-field MRI scanner. The [Fe(TAPC)]2+ complex is the first transition-metal-based paraCEST agent that produces a pH-induced CEST frequency change toward the development of probes for concentration-independent imaging of pH.
