H-1 NMR Titration Studies of Two Novel DTPA Derivatives

Polyaminopolycarboxylate gadolinium (III) complexes have been studied intensively in recent years because of their potential uses as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MHI)([1]). The research interests are mainly focussed on Gd3+ complexes of DTPA, DOTA and their various derivatives. Four kinds of Gd3+ complexes can be used presently in clinical MRI, which are GD(DTPA)([2]), Gd(DOTA)([3]), Gd(DTPA-BMA)([4]) and Gd(HP-DO3A)([5]). Here report two new DTPA bis (amide) derivatives-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-N, N ''-bis (dimethylamide) (DTPA-BDMA) and -bis (diethylamide) (DTPA-BDEA).

两种新DTPA衍生物的~1H NMR滴定研究

合成了两种新的DTPA双酰胺衍生物，DTPA－BDMA和DTPA－BDEA．通过~1HNMR滴定研究发现这两种化合物的质子解离过程为：中部胺基（PH＜0．5），端部羧基（0．5＜PH＜3．1），中部羧基（3．1＜pH＜5．4），端部胺基（5.4＜pH＜8．5）和中部胺基（8.5＜pH＜12.5）．在质子解离过程中端部胺基上的一个质子能转位到中部胺基上，同时分子结构将发生较大变化。Gd（DTPA－BDMA）和Gd（DTPA－BDEA）的弛豫效率分别为4．01和4．97L·mmol－1.s－1（400MHz，pH＝7.3，25℃），说明这两种化合物是非常有应用前景的MRI造影剂．

核磁共振技术在生物医学及临床评价中的应用--磁共振成像造影剂及稀土的生物效应研究

近年来，随着高场傅里叶变换核磁共振波谱仪灵敏度的提高、分辨率的增加、化学位移的扩展、多脉冲实验技术的发展以及计算机技术的不断进步，使NMR技术和MRI技术在生物和医学领域的应用有了飞速的发展。论文工作围绕新型MRI造影剂的研制和稀土对动物体液代谢产物的影响及作用，进行了较系统的研究。合成了四种稀土配合物：K_(11)[Gd(PW_(11)o_(39)]_2]、K_9GdW_(10)O_(36)、Gd_2(P_2W_(18)O_(62)、K_(15)[(GdO)_3(PW_9O_(34)_2]和四种中性的多竣多胺类稀土配合物：Gd(DTPA-BDEA）、Gd(DTPA-BDMA)、Gd(DTPA-BIN)和Gd(cyclic-DTPA-1,2-pn),从对造影剂临床应用的一般要求出发，对其进行了表征和溶解性、稳定性及体外的弛豫实验，指出它们是潜在的较好的MRI造影剂。在此基础上，通过大鼠体内的MRI实验考察了／又种造影剂侯选化合物的体内弛豫效率、选择性及体内滞留时间和代谢情况，并与目前临床普遍运用的造影剂GdDTPA进行了比较。并结合动物急性毒性实验(LD_(50)测定）对其进行综合评价，且对其应用于临床的可能性进行了探讨。结果表明，K_(11)[Gd(PW_(11)O_(39)_2]、K_9GdW_(10)O_(36)、K_(15)[GdO)_3(PW_9O_(34)_2]和Gd(DTPA-BDMA), Gd(DTPA-BIN), Gd(cyclic-DTPA-1,2-pn)是良好的具有肝脏选择性的MRI造影剂，K_(15)[(GdO_3(PW_9O_(34)_2]、Gd(cyclic-DTPA-1,2-pn)Gd(DTPA-BDMA)具有良好的肾脏代谢性能，另外KgGdW10036有可能对病理状态的诊断有一定的作用。首次运用高分辨'H NMR技术，检测了大鼠长期服用不同剂量硝酸斓(0,0.05, 0.2, 2.0, 10, 20 mg/kg体重）和农用稀土微肥常乐(La203: 30.48%, Ce02: 54.67,Pr6011: 6.05%, Nd203: 8.8%) (0, 0.1, 0.2, 2.0, 10, 20 mg/kg体重）后血清及尿液中的代谢物如柠檬酸、酮体、肌酸酚、二甲胺、二甲基甘氨酸、TMAO、氨基酸和乳酸、唬拍酸、牛磺酸等的浓度、物种的变化，并用ICP-MS法测定了长期口服常乐后大鼠各组织及脏器中的稀土含量，并结合一些生化指标的测试，对稀土在体内与细胞、组织和器官的作用机理及在动物体内的积累、排泄和远期毒性进行了有意义的探讨。结果表明，高剂量稀土在体内长期作用，可能导致动物肝脏和肾脏特定部位（如肾小管、'肾乳头、肝脏线粒体）受到选择性的损伤，且损害程度与剂量成正比关系。并发现，不同的稀土离子在体内有不同的作用方式，不同的稀土离子在体内有不同的代谢和累积速率，而且动物对稀土的毒性可能有一个适应过程。低剂量稀土对代谢没有明显影响，并建议了一个较安全剂量，但仍需对稀土的农用安全性进行进一步研究。

NMR titration and molecular model MOPAC calculation of protonation processes of two MRI ligands

The protonation process of two DTPA bis(amide) derivatives, DTPA-BDMA and DTPA-BDEA, was studied by using H-1 NMR titration and MOPAC calculation. Their protonation process was proposed in the order of the central amine, the terminal amines, the central carboxyl, the terminal carboxyl, the other terminal carboxyl and central amine. During the protonation of the terminal amine, there existed a large fraction of proton transfer from the central amine to the other terminal amine.

Photocytotoxic luminescent lanthanide complexes of DTPA-bisamide using quinoline as photosensitizer

Lanthanide complexes Ln(DTPAAQ)(DMF)] (1-3) (Ln - Pr (1), Eu (2), Tb (3), H(3)DTPAAQ - N, N `'-bis(3-amidoquinolyl) diethylenetriamine-N, N', N `'-triacetic acid, DMF - N, N-dimethylformamide) were studied for their structures, photophysical properties, DNA and protein binding, DNA photocleavage, photocytotoxicity and cellular internalization. The crystal structures of complexes Ln(DTPAAQ)(DMF)] (1-3) display a discrete mononuclear nine-coordinate {LnN(3)O(6)} tricapped-trigonal prism (TTP) coordination geometry. The europium and terbium complexes show strong luminescence properties in the visible region having a long luminescence lifetime (tau = 0.51-0.64 ms). The conjugated 3-aminoquinoline moieties act as efficient light harvesting antennae, which upon photoexcitation transfer their energy to Eu(III) or Tb(III) for their characteristic D-5(0) -> F-7(J) or D-5(4) -> F-7(J) f-f transitions respectively. The complexes display efficient binding affinity to DNA (K-b = 3.4 x 10(4) - 9.8 x 10(4) M-1) and BSA (KBSA = 3.03 x 10(4) - 6.57 x 10(4) M-1). Europium and terbium complexes give enhanced luminescence upon interacting with CT-DNA suggesting possible luminescence-based sensing applications for these complexes. Complexes 1-3 show moderate cleavage of supercoiled (SC) DNA to its nicked circular (NC) form on exposure to UV-A light of 312 nm involving formation of singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) and hydroxyl radicals (cOH) in type-II and photoredox pathways. Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes exhibit remarkable photocytotoxicity with human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa) (IC50 = 20.7-28.5 mM) while remaining essentially noncytotoxic up to 150 mM in the dark. Complexes are nontoxic in nature thus suitable for designing cellular imaging agents. Fluorescence microscopy data reveal primarily cytosolic localization of the Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes in HeLa cells.

蔬菜保护地土壤DTPA浸提态铁锰铜锌含量状况研究

采用野外采样及室内分析方法,对沈阳市郊区蔬菜保护地与露地土壤中DTPA-Fe、Mn、Cu、Zn含量状况进行对比研究。结果表明,蔬菜保护地土壤中的DTPA-Fe、Cu、Zn含量明显高于露地土壤,DTPA-Mn含量则明显低于露地土壤。部分保护地土壤已达到对蔬菜生产造成不同程度Cu、Zn污染的状况。导致Fe、Cu、Zn含量升高和Mn含量降低的主要原因是大量有机肥料的投入改变了元素的含量状况,保护地土壤特殊的水、肥、气、热和生物因子影响了元素各形态间的转化。农药的大量施用也导致了蔬菜保护地土壤中Cu、Zn的富集。

温室蔬菜栽培对土壤DTPA浸提态铁锰铜锌含量的影响

对沈阳市大民屯镇蔬菜生产基地温室番茄栽培条件下0~30 cm土层土壤DTPA浸提态微量元素含量的调查表明,温室土壤DTPA浸提态Mn、Cu、Zn含量高于相邻的露地菜田,0~20 cm土层DTPA-Fe含量低于露地土壤。与露地菜田相比,高量施肥条件下温室土壤DTPA-Zn富集是微量元素变化的一个主要特征,11年和5年温室土壤0~20 cm土层DTPA-Zn平均含量分别是露地菜田的4.0和4.8倍。温室栽培条件下高量施用有机肥、土壤pH降低及土壤Eh变化是引起土壤DTPA浸提态微量元素变化的主要因素。

Synthesis and evaluation of Gd-DTPA-labeled arabinogalactans as potential MRI contrast agents

Arabinogalactan derivatives conjugated with gad olinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA) by ethylenediamine (Gd-DTPA-CMAG-A(2)) or hexylamine (Gd-DTPA-CMAG-A(6)) have been synthesized and characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (C-13 NMR), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).

Synthesis and evaluation of novel polysaccharide-Gd-DTPA compounds as contrast agent for MRI

Macromolecular conjugates of two kinds of natural polysaccharides, that from Panax quinquefolium linn (PQPS) and Ganoderma applanatum pat (GAPS), with gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (Gd-DTPA) have been synthesized and characterized by means of FTIR, elementary analysis and ICP-AES. Their stability was investigated by competition study with Ca2+, EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and DTPA. Polysaccharide-bound complexes exhibit T-1 relaxivities of 1.5-1.7 times that of Gd-DTPA in D2O at 25degreesC and 9.4T. MR imaging of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats showed remarkable enhancement in rat liver and kidney after i.v. injection of these two complexes: liver parenchyma 60.9+/-5.6%, 57.8+/-7.4% at 65-85 min; kidney 144.9+/-14.5%, 199.9+/-25.4% at 10-30 min for PQPS-GdDTPA, GAPS-Gd-DTPA at gadolinium dose of 0.083 and 0.082 mmol/kg, respectively. Our preliminary in vivo and in vitro study indicates that the two kinds of polysaccharide-bound complexes are potential tissue-specific contrast agents for MRI.

Comparison between Gd-DTPA and several bisamide derivatives as potential MRI contrast agents

Four neutral gadolinium complexes of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)-bisamide derivatives have been synthesized and characterized. Their potential application as tissue-specific and low-osmolarity MRI contrast agents has been evaluated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Their measured relaxivities in D2O, bovine serum albumin and human serum transferrin solutions showed favorable relaxation ability. In vivo studies have proven that Gd(DTPA-BDMA), Gd(DTPA-BIN), and Gd(cyclic-DTPA-1,2-pn) could be promising liver-specific MRI contrast agents and Gd(DTPA-BDMA), and Gd(cyclic-DTPA-1,2-pn) have favorable renal excretion capability. Among them, Gd(cyclic-DTPA-1,2-pn) is a more powerful hepatic contrast agent and Gd(DTPA-BIN) provides the stable imaging contrast for several hours. They also show a lower toxicity.

Studies on the solution structures of lanthanide(III) complexes of DTPA-BIN by NMR

The solution structures of diamagnetic lanthanide (III) complexes of DTPA-BIN (Ln = La, Y, Lu, Sc) have been investigated by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and 2D NMR. For each complex, two or more species of asymmetric conformations with little distinction were identified at room temperature. And their solution structures vary with the radius of the central metals. NMR spectra support the hypothesis that Sc3+ with smaller radius formed an eight-coordinated structure with DTPA-BIN, La3+ with larger radius formed nine- or ten-coordinated structures with DTPA-BIN, and Y (DTPA-BIN) and Lu (DTPA-BIN) had nine-coordinated solution structures. The solution structure of Gd (DTPA-BIN) was obtained from the similarity of radius between Gd3+ and Y3+, which is a nine-coordinated structure formed by three nitrogens, three acetate oxygens, two acetyl oxygens, one water molecule and a gadolinium(III) cation.

NMR studies of Gd(DTPA-BIN) in human serum albumin solution

Stable gadolinium complexes, such as Gd(DTPA) and Gd(DOTA), are usually used as the contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). Reported here are the enhanced relaxation properties of a novel gadolinium complex, diethylene-triaminopentaacetate Lis (isoniazid) [Gd(DTPA-BIN)], in aqueous and in human serum albumin(HSA) solution, which indicates that (1) two Gd(DTPA-BIN) can integrate non-covalently with one HSA with an equilibrium constant of 0. 02 mmol(-2) . L-2 ; (2) the relaxivities are 3. 28 and 4. 92 mmol(-1) . L . s(-1) for the free Gd(DTPA-BIN) and the [Gd(DTPA-BIN)](2), HSA conjugator, respectively; (3) the rotational correlation time of protein conjugator is notably higher than that of the free complex, The above results may imply that Gd(DTPA-BIN) has a higher tissue selectivity than that of its parent Gd(DTPA).
