Gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-DTPA (Gd-EOB-DTPA) is a recently introduced experimental magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agent for hepatic imaging. Although liver enhancement has been investigated in a number of animal models, tolerance evaluations of Gd-EOB-DTPA injection have been limited.
The authors investigated acute hepatotoxicity in an isolated perfused rat liver model, cardiovascular effects in the anesthetized rat, and potential immunogenicity of Gd-EOB-DTPA using detection of specific antibodies.
Using perfused rat liver model, no significant deviation could be observed for functional parameters, liver enzymes, or potassium release, comparing Gd-EOB-DTPA to a control, but there was a significant choleresis (+250% bile flow). Hemodynamic effects of Gd-EOB-DTPA were observed after femoral bolus injection, but only with relatively high dosages (0.3-0.5 mmol/kg, 10-fold the likely clinical dose in humans). Experimental conditions, idealized for antibody induction, failed to cause an IgG immune response to Gd-EOB-DTPA in the intact rat.
The results further support preliminary conclusions that Gd-EOB-DTPA is a well-tolerated MR contrast agent.
钆-乙氧基苄基-DTPA(Gd-EOB-DTPA)是一种最近引入用于肝脏成像的实验性磁共振(MR)造影剂。尽管已经在许多动物模型中研究了肝脏增强情况,但对Gd-EOB-DTPA注射的耐受性评估有限。
作者在离体灌注大鼠肝脏模型中研究急性肝毒性,在麻醉大鼠中研究心血管效应,并通过检测特异性抗体来研究Gd-EOB-DTPA的潜在免疫原性。
使用灌注大鼠肝脏模型,将Gd-EOB-DTPA与对照相比,在功能参数、肝酶或钾释放方面未观察到显著差异,但存在显著的利胆作用(胆汁流量增加250%)。在股静脉推注后观察到Gd-EOB-DTPA的血流动力学效应,但仅在相对高剂量(0.3-0.5 mmol/kg,是人类可能临床剂量的10倍)时出现。在理想的诱导抗体实验条件下,完整大鼠对Gd-EOB-DTPA未产生IgG免疫反应。
结果进一步支持了Gd-EOB-DTPA是一种耐受性良好的MR造影剂这一初步结论。
