Two tripodal, hexadentate pyrone-based chelators have been prepared. These ligands form stable, soluble complexes with gadolinium(III). The complexes show aqueous stability comparable to that of [Gd(DTPA)]2- at pH 7.4. Evaluation by relaxometry shows that these complexes have two inner-sphere water molecules and a very fast water exchange rate. The solution behavior of these complexes suggests that they may be attractive as high relaxivity, next-generation magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents.
已制备出两种基于三脚架型六齿吡喃的螯合剂。这些配体与钆(III)形成稳定、可溶的配合物。在pH 7.4时,这些配合物在水溶液中的稳定性与[Gd(DTPA)]2-相当。弛豫测量评估表明,这些配合物有两个内球水分子且水交换速率非常快。这些配合物的溶液行为表明,作为高弛豫率的下一代磁共振成像造影剂,它们可能具有吸引力。
