Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: To develop safe and effective manganese(II) -based biodegradable macromolecular MRI contrast agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we synthesized and characterized two polydisulfide manganese(II) complexes, Mn-DTPA cystamine copolymers and Mn-EDTA cystamine copolymers, as new biodegradable macromolecular MRI contrast agents. The contrast enhancement of the two manganese-based contrast agents were evaluated in mice bearing MDA-MB-231 human breast carcinoma xenografts, in comparison with MnCl(2) . RESULTS: The T(1) and T(2) relaxivities were 4.74 and 10.38 mM(-1) s(-1) per manganese at 3T for Mn-DTPA cystamine copolymers (M(n) = 30.50 kDa) and 6.41 and 9.72 mM(-1) s(-1) for Mn-EDTA cystamine copolymers (M(n) = 61.80 kDa). Both polydisulfide Mn(II) complexes showed significant liver, myocardium and tumor enhancement. CONCLUSION: The manganese-based polydisulfide contrast agents have a potential to be developed as alternative non-gadolinium contrast agents for MR cancer and myocardium imaging. J. Magn. Reson.
