Complexes of cyclen-based macrocyclic ligands with a phosphinate pendant arm
Urbanovský, Peter
Lanthanide(III) complexes of DOTA derivatives are utilized in the medical imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), nuclear imaging (PET and SPECT), or optical methods (luminescence). It has been shown that relaxometric parameters of the Gd(III) complexes of DOTA derivatives with a phosphinic acid pendant arm (Gd-DO3APR ) can reach optimal values (e.g. water residence time, τM, being close to ~10 ns). The relaxometric parameters can be further modified through the phosphorus substituents. It is also known that the complexes possess a high thermodynamic stability and they are kinetically inert. The main goal of this Thesis is an investigation of the effect of pendant amino group protonation in substituents bound to the phosphorus atom on properties of the complexes. Thus in this Thesis, DOTA derivatives with the phosphinic acid pendant arm with an amino group and their complexes were prepared and characterized. The complexes are intended as contrast agents for molecular imaging techniques (mainly for MRI and 31 P MRS). The first part of the Thesis introduces two new versatile "phospha-Mannich" protocols performed under mild conditions. Amino-H-phosphinic acids (AHPAs) were synthesized with excess of...

MRI contrast agents for angiography
Urbanovský, Peter ; Kotek, Jan (advisor) ; Vojtíšek, Pavel (referee)
Modern diagnostic method magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) usually uses contrast agents T1-type, which are based on Gd3+ complexes. Due to severe toxicity of free Gd3+ , it is desired to have thermodynamically stable and kinetically inert complexes with fast elimination from the body. This work summarizes information about a novel contrast agent based on ligand DO3AP (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1-methyl(alkyl)phosphinic-4,7,10- triacetic acid) with pendant hydrophobic dibenzylamino group which is able to interact hydrophobically with the macromolecule of serum albumin. The stability of supracomplex is dependent on pH value, i.e. on the protonation of the pendant amino group of the complex (pKA = 5.6) and this interaction was confirmed from 1 H-NMRD profile and fluorescent analysis. The compound was tested for its angiographic properties in vivo on rat model. Furthermore, other complexes of the ligand with trivalent lanthanides (Nd3+ , Eu3+ , Tb3+ , Dy3+ , Er3+ ) were characterized by various methods (XRD, luminescence, UV-VIS, 1 H-, 17 O- and 31 P-NMR). The cleavage of the benzyl groups affords ligand whose Ln3+ complexes possess pH dependent PARACEST effect. These complexes were characterized by XRD, luminescence and 1 H- and 31 P-NMR. Moreover, the novel ligands with modified length of pendant...

New ligands for magnetic resonance imaging - pH-resposive contrast agents
Urbanovský, Peter ; Kotek, Jan (advisor) ; Vojtíšek, Pavel (referee)
Fast spread of MRI technique has brought new demands for MRI contrast agents. They are required to be nontoxic, kinetically inert, thermodynamically stable, biologically inactive complexes Gd(III) with high relaxivity (the ability of magnetic compounds to increase the relaxation rates of the surrounding water proton spins), removable from body in unchanged form. This bachelor thesis resumes basic theory for contrast agents, synthesis of new ligand and its Gd(III) complex coordinating one molecule of water and with ability of the non-covalent interaction of benzylic group with serum albumine resulting in increase in relaxivity. Luminiscence were measured for Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes and relaxivity of Gd(III) complex in and without the presence of bovine serum albumine in vitro. The novel contrast agent was tested in vivo on rat model. Keywords MRI, gadolinium, macrocyclic ligands, macrocyclic complexes
