Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A facile one-pot synthesis of D-glucuronic acid coated ultrasmall Ln<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (Ln = Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, and Er) nanoparticles is presented. Their water proton relaxivities were studied to address their possibility as a new potential MRI contrast agent. We focused on the D-glucuronic acid coated ultrasmall Dy<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> nanoparticle because it showed the highest <i>r</i><sub>2</sub> relaxivity among studied nanoparticles. Its performance as a <i>T</i><sub>2</sub> MRI contrast agent was for the first time proved <i>in vivo</i> through its 3 Tesla <i>T</i><sub>2</sub> MR images of a mouse, showing that it can be further exploited for the rational design of a new <i>T</i><sub>2</sub> MRI contrast agent at high MR fields.
