Volume-related Efficiency of Gadolinium Polyoxometalates as MRI Contrast Agents

Two gadolinium polyoxometalates, KCs4[Gd(a-SiW11O39)].25HzO(POM-1) and K13[Gd(f12-SiWllO39)a]·27H2O(POM-2), have been evaluated as the candidates of potential magnetic resonance imaging Tl(longitudinal relaxation) contrast agents. Longitudinal relaxivities of POM-2 are much higher than those of POM-...

Description
Summary:Two gadolinium polyoxometalates, KCs4[Gd(a-SiW11O39)].25HzO(POM-1) and K13[Gd(f12-SiWllO39)a]·27H2O(POM-2), have been evaluated as the candidates of potential magnetic resonance imaging Tl(longitudinal relaxation) contrast agents. Longitudinal relaxivities of POM-2 are much higher than those of POM-1 in pure water and protein solution, respectively. However, compared with POM-1, POM-2 interacts with protein more strongly through electrostatic interaction, which is comfirmed by the fluoresence quenching of human serum albumin(HSA) in solu- tions with different polyoxometalate concentrations. Meanwhile, POM-1 presentes much lower cytotoxicity in the cell viability tests.
