A lack of molecular contrast agents has slowed the application of ultrasensitive hyperpolarized (129)Xe NMR methods. Here, we report that commercially available cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) undergoes rapid xenon exchange kinetics at 300 K, and is detectable by Hyper-CEST NMR at 1.8 pM in PBS and at 1 μM in human plasma where many molecules, including polyamines, can compete with xenon for CB[6] binding.
缺乏分子对比剂减缓了超灵敏极化(129)氙 NMR 方法的应用。在这里,我们报告说,商业上可获得的葫芦[6]脲(CB[6])在 300 K 下经历快速氙交换动力学,并且可以在 PBS 中以 1.8 pM 和在人血浆中以 1 μM 的浓度通过 Hyper-CEST NMR 检测到,其中许多分子,包括多胺,可以与氙竞争与 CB[6]结合。
