Abstract
Uptake of gadolinium by nitrilotriacetate tethered to the surface of a silver nanoparticle. The gadolinium containing colloid induces the relaxation of proton spins in aqueous solution.
This paper describes colloidal particles that are designed to induce hyper-intensity contrast (
T
1 relaxation) in MRI. The contrast agents consist of discrete gadolinium complexes tethered to 10
nm diameter silver nanoparticles. The gadolinium complexes (1) [Gd(DTPA-bisamido cysteine)]
2− and (2) [Gd(cystine–NTA)
2]
3−, undergo chemisorption to particle surfaces through thiol or disulfide groups, respectively, to form two new contrast agents. The resulting nanoparticulate constructs are characterized on the basis of their syntheses, composition, spectra and contrast enhancing power. The average
r
1 relaxivities of the of the surface bound complexes (obtained at 9.4
T and 25
°C) are 10.7 and 9.7

−1, respectively, as compared to 4.7
