Transition metal ion complexes as potential 19F MRI contrast agents
Dobrovolná, Tereza ; Kotek, Jan (advisor) ; Blahut, Jan (referee)
Fluorinated coordination compounds having short nuclear spin relaxation times due to the presence of paramagnetic metal ions close to 19 F nuclei are suitable/potential contrast agents in 19 F MRI. This thesis deals with the preparation of a ligand based on 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (TACN) with pendant arms containing fluorine atoms. The coordination properties to transition metal ions were studied and prepared complexes were characterised. Measured values of longitudinal relaxation times of 19 F NMR signal indicate that the chosen concept is promising for further use in 19 F MRI, especially for the Co(II) complex. Keywords: 19 F MRI, contrast agent, trifluoroethyl phosphinic acid, TACN, paramagnetic ion, relaxation time, effective magnetic moment
Contrast agents for hereronuclear MRI
Koucký, Filip ; Kotek, Jan (advisor) ; Havlík, Jan (referee)
In this thesis the pH dependency of the coordination modes of lanthanide complexes with macrocyclic ligands based on 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane skeleton was studied. The cyclen-based ligand structures in this work contained three acetate and one aminoethyl group with a N-alkyl-N-methylphosphonate substituent, DO3AN(R)P, where R is an alkyle substituent on the nitrogen atom of the pendant arm (R = methyl, benzyl). Lanthanide complexes of a previously studied prototype ligand DO3ANP with secondary amino group (R = H) have shown interesting properties in the field of 31 P NMR imaging because of their various coordination properties, which allow in situ pH measurement. These complexes can also be used for monitoring the kinetics of the chemical exchange of the amino group proton in 1 H NMR imaging using the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST NMR). In this thesis, two new derivatives DO3ANMeP and DO3ANBnP were prepared in order to better understand the coordination modes changes in this ligand series. Also, their coordination behaviour with selected lanthanide ions was studied (Eu3+ , Gd3+ , Dy3+ , Yb3+ ). Based on a series of NMR and luminescence measurements, it was found out, that in acidic conditions the complexes containing DO3ANP motif bind a water molecule in their coordination...
Contrast agents for 19F MRI
Koucký, Filip ; Kotek, Jan (advisor) ; Vojtíšek, Pavel (referee)
For 19 F MRI the fluorinated contrast agents should be endowed by short relaxation times. Paramagnetic metal ions make relaxation times shorter and this effect depends on the distance between the metal ion and 19 F nuclei. The aim of this thesis is the synthesis of suitable ligand containing fluorine atoms, and a preparation of its Ni2+ and Cu2+ complexes. Macrocyclic 1,4,8,11- tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) was selected as a starting material as it has optimal ring-size for complexation of the selected ions. The parent macrocycle was substituted by fluorine-containing coordinating pendant arms. Key words: Cyclam; Contrast agents; Phosphonic acids, 19 F MRI, Paramagnetic relaxation, d-metals
