A redox- and light-sensitive, T(1)-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent which tethers a spiropyran(SP)/merocyanine(MC) motif to a Gd-DO3A moiety was synthesized and characterized. When in the dark, the probe is in its MC form which has an r(1) relaxivity of 2.51 mM(-1)s(-1) (60MHz, 37°C). After irradiation with visible light or mixing with NADH, the probe experiences an isomerization and the r(1) relaxivity decreased 18% and 26%, respectively. Additionally, the signal intensity in MRI showed an observable decrease after the compound was mixed with NADH.
合成并表征了一种将螺吡喃(SP)/部花青(MC)基序与钆-二乙三胺五乙酸(Gd-DO3A)部分相连的氧化还原和光敏感的T1加权磁共振成像(MRI)造影剂。在黑暗中时,该探针处于其MC形式,其纵向弛豫率r(1)为2.51 mM-1s-1(60MHz,37°C)。在用可见光照射或与烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸(NADH)混合后,该探针发生异构化,r(1)弛豫率分别降低了18%和26%。此外,在该化合物与NADH混合后,MRI中的信号强度出现了明显下降。
