Carbazole as Linker for Dinuclear Gadolinium-Based MRI Contrast Agents

Lothar Helm, Bibimaryam Mousavi, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Loïck Moriggi

Ligands able to complex two gadolinium ions have been synthesized and characterized in view of the ability of the complexes to increase the spin relaxation of water protons. All ligands are based on the heptadentate diethylenetriaminetetraacetic acid (DTTA ...

Gold nanoparticles functionalised with fast water exchanging Gd3+ chelates: linker effects on the relaxivity

Lothar Helm, Bibimaryam Mousavi

The relaxivity displayed by Gd3+ chelates immobilized onto gold nanoparticles is the result of the complex interplay between the nanoparticle size, the water exchange rate and the chelate structure. In this work we study the effect of the length of omega-t ...

Dinuclear Gd(III) Polyaminocarboxylates as Building Blocks for MRI Contrast Agents

Bibimaryam Mousavi

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique is at the forefront of biomedical and clinical imaging. Its superb spatial resolution, noninvasive nature and use of benign radiation outweigh its intrinsic low detection sensitivity. However paramagnetic relaxers ...

Gold nanoparticles functionalised with stable, fast water exchanging Gd3+ chelates as high relaxivity contrast agents for MRI

Lothar Helm, Bibimaryam Mousavi

Gold nanoparticles functionalized with Gd3+ chelates displaying fast water exchange, superb pH stability and inertness towards transmetalation with Zn2+ have been prepared and characterized as a new high relaxivity (29 mM(-1) s(-1), 30 MHz, 25 degrees C) c ...
