Remarkable Levels of ¹⁵N Polarization Delivered through SABRE into Unlabeled Pyridine, Pyrazine, or Metronidazole Enable Single Scan NMR Quantification at the mM Level.

ABSTRACT: While many drugs and metabolites contain nitrogen, harnessing their diagnostic ¹⁵N NMR signature for their characterization is underutilized because of inherent detection difficulties. Here, we demonstrate how precise ultralow field signal amplification by reversible exchange (±0.2 mG) in conjunction parahydrogen and an iridium precatalyst of the form IrCl(COD)(NHC) with the coligand d₉-benzylamine allows the naturally abundant ¹⁵N NMR signatures of pyridine, pyrazine, metronidazole, and acetonitrile to be readily detected at 9.4 T in single NMR observations through >50% ¹⁵N polarization levels. These signals allow for rapid and precise reagent quantification via a response that varies linearly over the 2-70 mM concentration range.

15 N MRI of SLIC-SABRE Hyperpolarized 15 N-Labelled Pyridine and Nicotinamide.

Project description:Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful non-invasive diagnostic method extensively used in biomedical studies. A significant limitation of MRI is its relatively low signal-to-noise ratio, which can be increased by hyperpolarizing nuclear spins. One promising method is Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange (SABRE), which employs parahydrogen as a source of hyperpolarization. Recent studies demonstrated the feasibility to improve MRI sensitivity with this hyperpolarization technique. Hyperpolarized 15 N nuclei in biomolecules can potentially retain their spin alignment for tens of minutes, providing an extended time window for the utilization of the hyperpolarized compounds. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that radio-frequency-based SABRE hyperpolarization techniques can be used to obtain 15 N MRI of biomolecule 1-15 N-nicotinamide. Two image acquisition strategies were utilized and compared: Single Point Imaging (SPI) and Fast Low Angle SHot (FLASH). These methods demonstrated opportunities of high-field SABRE for biomedical applications.

Using 2 H labelling to improve the NMR detectability of pyridine and its derivatives by SABRE.

Project description:By introducing a range of 2 H labels into pyridine and the para-substituted agents, methyl isonicotinate and isonicotinamide, we significantly improve their NMR detectability in conjunction with the signal amplification by reversible exchange process. We describe how the rates of T1 relaxation for the remaining 1 H nuclei are increased and show how this leads to a concomitant increase in the level of 1 H and 13 C hyperpolarization that can ultimately be detected.

Facile Removal of Homogeneous SABRE Catalysts for Purifying Hyperpolarized Metronidazole, a Potential Hypoxia Sensor.

Project description:We report a simple and effective method to remove IrIMes homogeneous polarization transfer catalysts from solutions where NMR Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange (SABRE) has been performed, while leaving intact the substrate's hyperpolarized state. Following microTesla SABRE hyperpolarization of 15N spins in metronidazole, addition of SiO2 microparticles functionalized with 3-mercaptopropyl or 2-mercaptoethyl ethyl sulfide moieties provides removal of the catalyst from solution well within the hyperpolarization decay time at 0.3 T (T 1>3 mins)-and enabling transfer to 9.4 T for detection of enhanced 15N signals in the absence of catalyst within the NMR-detection region. Successful catalyst removal from solution is supported by the inability to "re-hyperpolarize" 15N spins in subsequent attempts, as well as by 1H NMR and ICP-MS. Record-high 15N nuclear polarization of up to ~34% was achieved, corresponding to >100,000-fold enhancement at 9.4 T, and approximately 5/6th of the 15N hyperpolarization is retained after ~20-second-long purification procedure. Taken together, these results help pave the way for future studies involving in vivo molecular imaging using agents hyperpolarized via rapid and inexpensive parahydrogen-based methods.

15N Hyperpolarization by Reversible Exchange Using SABRE-SHEATH.

Project description:NMR signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) is a NMR hyperpolarization technique that enables nuclear spin polarization enhancement of molecules via concurrent chemical exchange of a target substrate and parahydrogen (the source of spin order) on an iridium catalyst. Recently, we demonstrated that conducting SABRE in microtesla fields provided by a magnetic shield enables up to 10% 15N-polarization (Theis, T.; et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc.2015, 137, 1404). Hyperpolarization on 15N (and heteronuclei in general) may be advantageous because of the long-lived nature of the hyperpolarization on 15N relative to the short-lived hyperpolarization of protons conventionally hyperpolarized by SABRE, in addition to wider chemical shift dispersion and absence of background signal. Here we show that these unprecedented polarization levels enable 15N magnetic resonance imaging. We also present a theoretical model for the hyperpolarization transfer to heteronuclei, and detail key parameters that should be optimized for efficient 15N-hyperpolarization. The effects of parahydrogen pressure, flow rate, sample temperature, catalyst-to-substrate ratio, relaxation time (T1), and reversible oxygen quenching are studied on a test system of 15N-pyridine in methanol-d4. Moreover, we demonstrate the first proof-of-principle 13C-hyperpolarization using this method. This simple hyperpolarization scheme only requires access to parahydrogen and a magnetic shield, and it provides large enough signal gains to enable one of the first 15N images (2 × 2 mm2 resolution). Importantly, this method enables hyperpolarization of molecular sites with NMR T1 relaxation times suitable for biomedical imaging and spectroscopy.

Heterogeneous Microtesla SABRE Enhancement of 15 N NMR Signals.

Project description:The hyperpolarization of heteronuclei via signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) was investigated under conditions of heterogeneous catalysis and microtesla magnetic fields. Immobilization of [IrCl(COD)(IMes)], [IMes=1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), imidazole-2-ylidene; COD=cyclooctadiene] catalyst onto silica particles modified with amine linkers engenders an effective heterogeneous SABRE (HET-SABRE) catalyst that was used to demonstrate a circa 100-fold enhancement of 15 N NMR signals in 15 N-pyridine at 9.4 T following parahydrogen bubbling within a magnetic shield. No 15 N NMR enhancement was observed from the supernatant liquid following catalyst separation, which along with XPS characterization supports the fact that the effects result from SABRE under heterogeneous catalytic conditions. The technique can be developed further for producing catalyst-free agents via SABRE with hyperpolarized heteronuclear spins, and thus is promising for biomedical NMR and MRI applications.

SABRE hyperpolarized anticancer agents for use in 1 H MRI.

Project description:PurposeEnabling drug tracking (distribution/specific pathways) with magnetic resonance spectroscopy requires manipulation (via hyperpolarization) of spin state populations and targets with sufficiently long magnetic lifetimes to give the largest possible window of observation. Here, we demonstrate how the proton resonances of a group of thienopyridazines (with known anticancer properties), can be amplified using the para-hydrogen (p-H2 ) based signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) hyperpolarization technique.MethodsThienopyridazine isomers, including a 2 H version, were synthesized in house. Iridium-based catalysts dissolved in a methanol-d4 solvent facilitated polarization transfer from p-H2 gas to the target thienopyridazines. Subsequent SABRE 1 H responses of hyperpolarized thienopyridazines were completed (400 MHz NMR). Pseudo-singlet state approaches were deployed to extend magnetic state lifetimes. Proof of principle spectral-spatial images were acquired across a range of field strengths (7T-9.4T MRI).Results1 H-NMR signal enhancements of -10,130-fold at 9.4T (~33% polarization) were achieved on thieno[2,3-d]pyridazine (T[2,3-d]P), using SABRE under optimal mixing/field transfer conditions. 1 H T1 lifetimes for the thienopyridazines were ~18-50 s. Long-lived state approaches extended the magnetic lifetime of target proton sites in T[2,3-d]P from an average of 25-40 seconds. Enhanced in vitro imaging (spatial and chemical shift based) of target T[2,3-d]P was demonstrated.ConclusionHere, we demonstrate the power of SABRE to deliver a fast and cost-effective route to hyperpolarization of important chemical motifs of anticancer agents. The SABRE approach outlined here lays the foundations for realizing continuous flow, hyperpolarized tracking of drug delivery/pathways.

Subnanometer high-entropy alloy nanowires enable remarkable hydrogen oxidation catalysis.

Project description:High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with unique physicochemical properties have attracted tremendous attention in many fields, yet the precise control on dimension and morphology at atomic level remains formidable challenges. Herein, we synthesize unique PtRuNiCoFeMo HEA subnanometer nanowires (SNWs) for alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). The mass and specific activities of HEA SNWs/C reach 6.75 A mgPt+Ru-1 and 8.96 mA cm-2, respectively, which are 2.8/2.6, 4.1/2.4, and 19.8/18.7 times higher than those of HEA NPs/C, commercial PtRu/C and Pt/C, respectively. It can even display enhanced resistance to CO poisoning during HOR in the presence of 1000 ppm CO. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the strong interactions between different metal sites in HEA SNWs can greatly regulate the binding strength of proton and hydroxyl, and therefore enhances the HOR activity. This work not only provides a viable synthetic route for the fabrication of Pt-based HEA subnano/nano materials, but also promotes the fundamental researches on catalysis and beyond.

SABRE hyperpolarization enables high-sensitivity 1H and 13C benchtop NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Benchtop NMR spectrometers operating with low magnetic fields of 1-2 T at sub-ppm resolution show great promise as analytical platforms that can be used outside the traditional laboratory environment for industrial process monitoring. One current limitation that reduces the uptake of benchtop NMR is associated with the detection fields' reduced sensitivity. Here we demonstrate how para-hydrogen (p-H2) based signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE), a simple to achieve hyperpolarization technique, enhances agent detectability within the environment of a benchtop (1 T) NMR spectrometer so that informative 1H and 13C NMR spectra can be readily recorded for low-concentration analytes. SABRE-derived 1H NMR signal enhancements of up to 17 000-fold, corresponding to 1H polarization levels of P = 5.9%, were achieved for 26 mM pyridine in d4-methanol in a matter of seconds. Comparable enhancement levels can be achieved in both deuterated and protio solvents but now the SABRE-enhanced analyte signals dominate due to the comparatively weak thermally-polarized solvent response. The SABRE approach also enables the acquisition of 13C NMR spectra of analytes at natural isotopic abundance in a single scan as evidenced by hyperpolarized 13C NMR spectra of tens of millimolar concentrations of 4-methylpyridine. Now the associated signal enhancement factors are up to 45 500 fold (P = 4.0%) and achieved in just 15 s. Integration of an automated SABRE polarization system with the benchtop NMR spectrometer framework produces renewable and reproducible NMR signal enhancements that can be exploited for the collection of multi-dimensional NMR spectra, exemplified here by a SABRE-enhanced 2D COSY NMR spectrum.

Project description:In mammals, ovarian folliculogenesis leading to the ovulation of completely mature oocytes is a long and complex process that is regulated at different levels. The mechanisms that underlie the selection of one or several dominant follicles as well as the regulation of the number of ovulating follicles are largely unknown. In this project, we proposed to study the genetic determinism that underlies the difference of ovulation rate between species (cattle and pigs). Towards this purpose, we made a comparative transcriptomics study on granulosa cells. Pig and cattle comparison was achieved by a transcriptome analysis with a 9K nylon pig microarray (GPL3729) on granulosa cells from either small healthy antral follicles (SHF) or large healthy antral follicles (LHF). The images were quantified using AGscan software and the data were managed with BASE software. Statistical analysis was performed using R software. Transcriptomic analysis on pig and cattle evidenced 252 differentially expressed genes (FDR5%) between the two follicle classes and/or the two species. This research project which implicated three laboratories from INRA: « Laboratoire de Génétique Cellulaire » (UMR444-LGC) , « Station d’Amélioration Génétique des Animaux » (UR 631-SAGA) and « Physiologie des Comportements et de la reproduction » (UMR 85-PRC) benefited from both European funding through SABRE project and French ANR funding through GenOvul project.
