Abstract
BACKGROUND The integration of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) holds promise for advancing diagnostic imaging capabilities. The METRICS project aims to develop cyclotron-driven production of 52Mn for PET/MRI imaging. RESULTS Using the 52Cr(p,n)52Mn reaction, we designed chromium metal targets via Spark Plasma Sintering and developed a separation procedure for isolating 52Mn. Labeling tests were conducted with traditional chelators (i.e. S-2-(4-Isothiocyanatobenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane tetraacetic acid) and the 1.4-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8- carbodithioate ligand to produce radioactive complexes suitable for PET/MRI applications. Our methodology yielded high-quality 52Mn suitable for PET radiopharmaceuticals and PET/MRI imaging. Preliminary studies on phantom imaging using microPET and clinical MRI demonstrated the efficacy of our approach. CONCLUSIONS The developed technology offers a promising avenue for producing 52Mn and enhancing PET/MRI imaging capabilities. Further in vivo investigations are warranted to evaluate the potential advantages of this hybrid imaging technique.

Abstract
We report the [natMn/52Mn]Mn(II) complexes of the macrocyclic chelators PYAN [3,6,10,13-tetraaza-1,8(2,6)-dipyridinacyclotetradecaphane] and CHXPYAN [(41R,42R,101R,102R)-3,5,9,11-tetraaza-1,7(2,6)-dipyridina-4,10(1,2)-dicyclohexanacyclododecaphane]. The X-ray crystal structures of Mn-PYAN and Mn-CHXPYAN evidence distorted octahedral geometries through coordination of the nitrogen atoms of the macrocycles. Cyclic voltammetry studies evidence reversible processes due to the Mn(II)/Mn(III) pair, indicating that the complexes are resistant to oxidation. CHXPYAN forms a more thermodynamically stable and kinetically inert Mn(II) complex than PYAN. Radiochemical studies with the radioactive isotope manganese-52 (52Mn, t1/2 = 5.6 days) evidenced better radiochemical yields for CHXPYAN than for PYAN. Both [52Mn]Mn(II) complexes remained stable in mouse and human serum, so in vivo stability studies were carried out. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography scans and biodistribution assays indicated that [52Mn]Mn-PYAN has a distribution pattern similar to that of [52Mn]MnCl2, showing persistent radioactivity accumulation in the kidneys. Conversely, [52Mn]Mn-CHXPYAN remained stable in vivo, clearing quickly from the liver and kidneys.

Improving the Stability and Kinetic Inertness of Mn(II) Complexes by Increasing the Bridge Length in Bicyclic CDTA-Like Ligands. Chemistry 2024; 30:e202400570. [PMID: 38597334 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202400570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
Kinetic inertness of Mn(II)-based MRI contrast agents can be improved by increasing the rigidity of the polydentate ligand that tightly coordinate the metal ion. Taking inspiration from the remarkable increase in kinetic inertness of [Mn(CDTA)]2- compared to [Mn(EDTA)]2- due to the cyclohexyl backbone rigidity, we devised that bicyclic ligands would further improve the kinetic inertness of the Mn(II) complexes. The length of the alkyl bridge on the cyclohexane ring was varied from methylene (BCH-DTA), ethylene (BCO-DTA) to propylene (BCN-DTA) to evaluate the influence of the different trans-diaminotetraacetate ligands on relaxometric, thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the Mn(II) complexes. 1H and 17O NMR relaxometric studies showed a slight increase in relaxivity and a faster water exchange rate in these Mn(II)-complexes with respect to [Mn(CDTA)]2-. Solution studies revealed that the conditional stability (pMn) and dissociation half-life (t1/2) at pH 7.4 follow the order [Mn(BCH-DTA)]2-<[Mn(BCO-DTA)]2-<[Mn(BCN-DTA)]2- highlighting the effect of the bridge length on the overall stability of the Mn(II) complexes. Remarkably, [Mn(BCN-DTA)]2- shows an improved pMn value and a 7-times higher kinetic inertness than [Mn(CDTA)]2-. NMR studies on the Zn(II) analogues confirm the rigidity of the bicyclic complexes with an isomerization process at >313 K for the smaller bridged complex [Zn(BCH-DTA)]2-.

Abstract
The sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging mainly depend on the relaxation capacity of contrast agents (CAs) and their accumulated amount at the pathological region. Due to the better biocompatibility and high-spin capacity, Fe-complexes have been studied widely as an alternative to replace popular Gd-based CAs associated with potential biotoxicity. Compared with a variety of Fe complex-based CAs, such as small molecular, macrocyclic, multinuclear complexes, the form of nanoparticle exhibits outstanding longitudinal relaxation, but the clinical transformation was still limited by the inconspicuous difference of contrast between tumor and normal tissue. The enhanced effect of contrast is a positive relation as relaxation of CAs and their concentration in desired region. To specifically improve the amount of CAs accumulated in the tumor, pH-responsive polymer poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEOz) was modified on melanin, a ubiquitous natural pigment providing much active sites for chelating with Fe(III). The Fe(III)-Mel-PEOz we prepared could raise the tumor cell endocytosis efficiency via switching surface charge from anion to cation with the stimuli of the decreasing pH of tumor microenvironment. The change of pH has negligible effect on ther1of Fe(III)-Mel-PEOz, which is always maintained at around 1.0 mM-1s-1at 0.5 T. Moreover, Fe(III)-Mel-PEOz exhibited low cytotoxicity, and satisfactory enhancement of positive contrast effectin vivo. The excellent biocompatibility and stable relaxation demonstrate the high potential of Fe(III)-Mel-PEOz in the diagnosis of tumor.

Abstract
Effective vascular and hepatic enhancement and better safety are the key drivers for exploring gadolinium-free hepatobiliary contrast agents. Herein, a facile strategy proposes that the high lipophilicity may be favorable to enhancing sequentially vascular and hepatobiliary signal intensity based on the structure-activity relationship that both hepatic uptake and interaction with serum albumins partly depend on lipophilicity. Therefore, 11 newly synthesized derivatives of manganese o-phenylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (MnLs) were evaluated as vascular and hepatobiliary agents. The maximum signal intensities of the heart, liver, and kidneys were strongly correlated with log P, a key indicator of lipophilicity. The most lipophilic agent, MnL6, showed favorable relaxivity when binding with serum albumin, good vascular enhancement, rapid excretion, and reliable hepatobiliary phases comparable to a classic hepatobiliary agent, gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) for in vivo liver tumor imaging. Inhibition experiments confirmed the hepatic targeting of MnL6 is mediated by organic anion-transporting polypeptides.

Endeavor toward Redox-Responsive Transition Metal Contrast Agents Based on the Cross-Bridge Cyclam Platform. Inorg Chem 2024; 63:1575-1588. [PMID: 38198518 PMCID: PMC10806912 DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.3c03486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
We present the synthesis and characterization of a series of Mn(III), Co(III), and Ni(II) complexes with cross-bridge cyclam derivatives (CB-cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazabicyclo[6.6.2]hexadecane) containing acetamide or acetic acid pendant arms. The X-ray structures of [Ni(CB-TE2AM)]Cl2·2H2O and [Mn(CB-TE1AM)(OH)](PF6)2 evidence the octahedral coordination of the ligands around the Ni(II) and Mn(III) metal ions, with a terminal hydroxide ligand being coordinated to Mn(III). Cyclic voltammetry studies on solutions of the [Mn(CB-TE1AM)(OH)]2+ and [Mn(CB-TE1A)(OH)]+ complexes (0.15 M NaCl) show an intricate redox behavior with waves due to the MnIII/MnIV and MnII/MnIII pairs. The Co(III) and Ni(II) complexes with CB-TE2A and CB-TE2AM show quasi-reversible features due to the CoIII/CoII or NiII/NiIII pairs. The [Co(CB-TE2AM)]3+ complex is readily reduced by dithionite in aqueous solution, as evidenced by 1H NMR studies, but does not react with ascorbate. The [Mn(CB-TE1A)(OH)]+ complex is however reduced very quickly by ascorbate following a simple kinetic scheme (k0 = k1[AH-], where [AH-] is the ascorbate concentration and k1 = 628 ± 7 M-1 s-1). The reduction of the Mn(III) complex to Mn(II) by ascorbate provokes complex dissociation, as demonstrated by 1H nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion studies. The [Ni(CB-TE2AM)]2+ complex shows significant chemical exchange saturation transfer effects upon saturation of the amide proton signals at 71 and 3 ppm with respect to the bulk water signal.

[PMID: 38154167 DOI: 10.1016/j.nucmedbio.2023.108874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Due to its decay and chemical properties, interest in manganese-52 has increased for development of long-lived PET radiopharmaceuticals. Its long half-life of 5.6 days, low average positron energy (242 keV), and sufficient positron decay branching ratio make it suitable for radiolabeling macromolecules for investigating slow biological processes. This work aims to establish suitable chelators for manganese-52 that can be radiolabeled at mild conditions through the evaluation of commercially available chelators. METHODS Manganese-52 was produced through the nuclear reaction NatCr(p,n)52Mn by irradiation of natural chromium targets on a TR24 cyclotron followed by purification through ion exchange chromatography. The radiolabeling efficiencies of chelators: DOTA, DiAmsar, TETA, DO3A, NOTA, 4'-Formylbenzo-15-crown-5, Oxo-DO3A, and DFO, were assessed by investigating the impact of pH, buffer type, and temperature. In vitro stability of [52Mn]Mn(DO3A)-, [52Mn]Mn(Oxo-DO3A)-, and [52Mn]Mn(DOTA)2- were evaluated in mouse serum. The radiocomplexes were also evaluated in vivo in mice. Crystals of [Mn(Oxo-DO3A)]- were synthesized by reacting Oxo-DO3A with MnCl2 and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. RESULTS Yields of 185 ± 19 MBq (5.0 ± 0.5 mCi) (n = 4) of manganese-52 were produced at the end of a 4 h, 15 μA, bombardment with 12.5 MeV protons. NOTA, DO3A, DOTA, and Oxo-DO3A chelators were readily radiolabeled with >96 % radiochemical purity at all conditions. Manganese radiocomplexes of Oxo-DO3A, DOTA, and DO3A remained stable in vitro up to 5 days and exhibited different biodistribution profiles compared to [52Mn]MnCl2. The solid-state structure of Mn-Oxo-DO3A complex was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. CONCLUSIONS DO3A and Oxo-DO3A are suitable chelators for manganese-52 which are readily radiolabeled at mild conditions with high molar activity, and demonstrate both in vitro and in vivo stability.

Abstract
We present an in-depth solution phase dynamics of rare seven coordinated pentagonal bipyramidal Mn(II) complexes, together with their binding affinity anticipated using ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT). Moreover, the simulations at different temperatures (25 °C and 90 °C) interpret the rigidity and stability of the ligands with Mn(II) ions. An intuitive approach for modulating the easy plane magnetic anisotropy of the mononuclear Mn(II) complex has been revealed by this work. In this regard, we have performed an extensive theoretical study based on the ab initio CASSCF/NEVPT2 method, exhibiting the presence of an easy plane magnetic anisotropy with a positive value of axial zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameter D. The complex's magnetic properties and electronic relaxation reveal that the rhombic ZFS term (E) can be modulated as the symmetry around the Mn(II) ion varies. The magnitude of the D-value increased with a more symmetrical equatorial ligand as found in the order of [Mn(pydpa)(H2O)] > [Mn(cbda)(H2O)]- > [Mn(dpaaa)(H2O)]- > [Mn(dpasam)(H2O)]-. Furthermore, we found that substituting the equatorial oxygen atom with heavier S and Se-donor atoms switches the sign of magnetic anisotropy for the Mn(II) complexes. The magnitude of the D-value increased when the energy levels of the ground state (GS) and the first excited state (ES) decreased. The observed magneto-structural correlation reveals that shortening the distance of the axial water molecule (Mn-O(w)) increases the D-value by an order of magnitude for the symmetrical [Mn(pydpa)(H2O)] complex. Overall, the combined analysis of solution phase dynamics of Mn(II) complexes and their magnetic characterization opens up new avenues in coordination chemistry, molecular magnetism, spin-crossover materials, and catalysis.

Abstract
Mn2+ complexes of 2,4-pyridyl-disubstituted bispidine ligands have emerged as more biocompatible alternatives to Gd3+ -based MRI probes. They display relaxivities comparable to that of commercial contrast agents and high kinetic inertness, unprecedented for Mn2+ complexes. The chemical structure, in particular the substituents on the two macrocyclic nitrogens N3 and N7, are decisive for the conformation of the Mn2+ complexes, and this will in turn determine their thermodynamic, kinetic and relaxation properties. We describe the synthesis of four ligands with acetate substituents in positions N3, N7 or both. We evidence that the bispidine conformation is dependent on N3 substitution, with direct impact on the thermodynamic stability, kinetic inertness, hydration state and relaxivity of the Mn2+ complexes. These results unambiguously show that (i) solely a chair-chair conformation allows for favorable inertness and relaxivity, and (ii) in this family such chair-chair conformation is accessible only for ligands without N3-appended carboxylates.

Abstract
Chelation therapy is a medical procedure for removing toxic metals from human organs and tissues and for the treatment of diseases by using metal-chelating agents. For example, iron chelation therapy is designed not only for the treatment of metal poisoning but also for some diseases that are induced by iron overload, cancer chemotherapy, and related diseases. However, the use of such metal chelators needs to be generally carried out very carefully, because of the side effects possibly due to the non-specific complexation with intracellular metal cations. Herein, we report on the preparation and characterization of some new poly(bpy) ligands (bpy: 2,2'-bipyridyl) that contain one-three bpy ligand moieties and their anticancer activity against Jurkat, MOLT-4, U937, HeLa S3, and A549 cell lines. The results of MTT assays revealed that the tris(bpy) and bis(bpy) ligands exhibit potent activity for inducing the cell death in cancer cells. Mechanistic studies suggest that the main pathway responsible for the cell death by these poly(bpy) ligands is apoptotic cell death. It was also found that the anticancer activity of the poly(bpy) ligands could be controlled by the complexation (anticancer activity is turned OFF) and decomplexation (anticancer activity is turned ON) with biorelevant metal cations. In this paper, these results will be described.

Abstract
Recently, there has been increasing interest in the design of ligands that bind Mn2+ with high affinity and selectivity, but this remains a difficult challenge. It has been proposed that the cavity size of the binding pocket is a critical factor in most synthetic and biological examples of selective Mn2+ binding. Here, we use a bioinspired approach adapted from the hexahistidine binding site of the manganese-sequestering protein calprotectin to systematically study the effect of cavity size on Mn2+ and Zn2+ binding. We have designed a hexadentate, trisimidazole ligand whose cavity size can be tuned through peripheral modification of the steric bulk of the imidazole substituents. Conformational dynamics and redox potentials of the complexes are dependent on ligand steric bulk. Stability constants are consistent with the hypothesis that larger ligand cavities are relatively favorable for Mn2+ over Zn2+ , but this effect alone may not be sufficient to achieve Mn2+ selectivity.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used to diagnose focal and diffuse liver disorders. Despite their enhanced efficacy, liver-targeted gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) raise safety concerns owing to the release of toxic Gd3+ ions. A π-conjugated macrocyclic chelate, Mn-NOTA-NP, was designed and synthesized as a non-gadolinium alternative for liver-specific MRI. Mn-NOTA-NP exhibits an r1 relaxivity of 3.57 mM-1 s-1 in water and 9.01 mM-1 s-1 in saline containing human serum albumin at 3 T, which is significantly greater than the clinically utilized Mn2+-based hepatobiliary drug, Mn-DPDP (1.50 mM-1 s-1), and comparable with that of GBCAs. Furthermore, the in vivo biodistribution and MRI enhancement patterns of Mn-NOTA-NP were similar to those of the Gd3+-based hepatobiliary agent, Gd-DTPA-EOB. Additionally, a 0.05 mmol/kg dose of Mn-NOTA-NP facilitated high-sensitivity tumor detection with tumor signal enhancement in a liver tumor model. Ligand-docking simulations further indicated that Mn-NOTA-NP differed from other hepatobiliary agents in their interactions with several transporter systems. Collectively, we demonstrated that Mn-NOTA-NP could be a new liver-specific MRI contrast agent.

According to the data, the [(Mn(H2O))PW11O39]5- Keggin-type anion is the most stable in water among the tested complexes, even in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA). Aqueous solutions of 2 and 3 anions are less stable and contain other species resulting from dissociation of Mn2+. Quantum chemical calculations show the change in Mn2+ electronic state between [Mn(H2O)6]2+ and [(Mn(H2O))PW11O39]5-.

Abstract
Rigidification of the ligand scaffolds has been a particular mechanism of interest employed to achieve properties suitable for MRI contrast, catalysis, or other applications of metal complexes. Towards the goal of targeting a 15-anePyN5Pip type ligand, a serendipitous isolation of a 30-anePy2N10Pip2 aza-macrocycle was achieved, instead. X-ray diffraction and determination of pKa events were carried out and compared to 17-anePyN5Pip. Furthermore, the X-ray diffraction of the Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of 17-anePyN5Pip was achieved and compared to previous reports of other first-row transition metal derivatives of this ligand. Determination of the log β with both 30-anePy2N10Pip2 and 17-anePyN5Pip with the divalent MnZn metal-ion series was used to demonstrate the impact that the piperazine ring plays compared to other, less rigid macrocycles reported to date.

Abstract
As an essential metal ion and an efficient relaxation agent, Mn2+ holds a great promise to replace Gd3+ in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent applications, if its stable and inert complexation can be achieved. Toward this goal, four pyridine and one carboxylate pendants have been introduced in coordinating positions on the bispidine platform to yield ligand L3. Thanks to its rigid and preorganized structure and perfect size match for Mn2+, L3 provides remarkably high thermodynamic stability (log KMnL = 19.47), selectivity over the major biological competitor Zn2+ (log(KMnL/KZnL) = 4.4), and kinetic inertness. Solid-state X-ray data show that [MnL3(MeOH)](OTf)2 has an unusual eight-coordinate structure with a coordinated solvent molecule, in contrast to the six-coordinate structure of [ZnL3](OTf), underlining that the coordination cavity is perfectly adapted for Mn2+, while it is too large for Zn2+. In aqueous solution, 17O NMR data evidence one inner sphere water and dissociatively activated water exchange (kex298 = 13.5 × 107 s-1) for MnL3. Its water proton relaxivity (r1 = 4.44 mM-1 s-1 at 25 °C, 20 MHz) is about 30% higher than values for typical monohydrated Mn2+ complexes, which is related to its larger molecular size; its relaxation efficiency is similar to that of clinically used Gd3+-based agents. In vivo MRI experiments realized in control mice at 0.02 mmol/kg injected dose indicate good signal enhancement in the kidneys and fast renal clearance. Taken together, MnL3 is the first chelate that combines such excellent stability, selectivity, inertness and relaxation properties, all of primary importance for MRI use.

Abstract
Emerging non-invasive molecular imaging modalities can detect a pathophysiological state at the molecular level before any anatomic changes are observed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is preferred over other nuclear imaging techniques owing to its radiation-free approach. Conventionally, most MRI contrast agents employed predominantly involve lanthanide metal: Gadolinium (Gd) until the discovery of associated severe nephrogenic toxicity issues. This limitation led a way to the development of manganese-based contrast agents which offer similar positive contrast enhancement capability. A vast quantity of experimental data has been accumulated over the last decade to define the physicochemical characteristics of manganese chelates with various ligand scaffolds. One can now observe how the ligand configurations, rigidity, and donor-acceptor characteristics impact the stability of the complex. This review covers the current trends in the development of manganese-based MRI contrast agents, the mechanisms they are based on and design considerations for newer manganese-based contrast agents with higher diagnostic strength along with better safety profiles.

Synthesis of manganese-incorporated polycaplactone-poly (glyceryl methacrylate) theranostic smart hybrid polymersomes for efficient colon adenocarcinoma treatment. Int J Pharm 2022; 623:121963. [PMID: 35764261 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2022.121963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2022] [Revised: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
In the current study, a multifunctional nanoscale vesicular system (polymersome) with the ability to accumulate in the site of action, control drug release and integrate diagnostic and therapeutic functions was developed. The theranostic polymersome was engineered as a promising dual-functional nanoplatform, which can be used for tumor therapy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this regard, the amphiphilic diblock copolymer of poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(glyceryl methacrylate)[(PCL-b-PGMA)] was synthesized by combined ring-opening polymerization (ROP), and reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization techniques followed by hydrolysis of the pendant oxiran rings to hydroxyl groups. Because of the amphiphilic properties and desirable hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance of the synthesized copolymer, it could self-assemble to form a polymersomal structure in an aqueous environment (with diameters about 100 - 145 nm). The hydrophilic anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX) and hydrophobic paramagnetic Mn (phenanthroline)2 complex, being well-represented on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), were encapsulated in the hydrophilic core (33%±2.3 efficiency) and hydrophobic bilayer membrane (100 %efficient) of a polymersome system, respectively to provide PCL-PGMA@Mn(phen)2/DOX NPs. It was found that adding aptamer AS1411 to NPs surfaces enhanced their specificity and selectivity towards colorectal cancer cells expressing nucleolin (HT29 and C26). In vivo evaluation after intravenous administration of the prepared platform was performed using subcutaneous C26 tumor-bearing Balb/C mice. The obtained results demonstrated that the prepared targeted platform provided a reduced systemic toxicity in terms of body weight loss and mortality while showing efficient tumor regression. Furthermore, the prepared theranostic platform afforded MRI imaging capability for tumor monitoring. It could be concluded that the biocompatible PCL-PGMA magnetic DOX-loaded polymersomes could serve as a versatile multifunctional system for simultaneous tumor imaging and therapy.

Abstract
ConspectusContrast agents are used in approximately 40% of all magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures to improve the quality of the images based on the distribution and dynamic clearance of the agent. To date, all clinically approved contrast agents are Gd(III) coordination complexes that serve to shorten the longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) proton relaxation times of water. Recent interest in replacing Gd with biologically relevant metal ions such as Mn or Fe has led to increased interest in the aqueous coordination chemistry of their complexes. In this Account, we focus on high-spin Fe(III) complexes that have been recently reported as MRI contrast agents or probes in our laboratory.The highly Lewis acidic Fe(III) center has distinct coordination chemistry in aqueous solutions, facilitating alternative strategies in the design of MRI probes. To illustrate this, we describe different classes of Fe(III) MRI probes with a focus on macrocyclic complexes and multinuclear complexes such as self-assembled metal organic polyhedra (MOP). Our initial efforts focused on macrocyclic complexes of Fe(III) in order to tune spin and oxidation states with the goal of stabilizing high-spin Fe(III) in reducing biological environments. Our probes feature six-coordinate Fe(III) complexes of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane with hydroxypropyl, phosphonate, or carboxylate pendant groups to produce Fe(III) complexes that shorten proton T1 times predominantly from second-sphere or outer-sphere interactions at neutral pH. Analogues with pentadentate macrocyclic ligands have an inner-sphere water that does not exchange rapidly on the NMR time scale, yet these complexes are effective relaxation agents. Fe(III) macrocyclic complexes in this class can be modified to modulate their biodistribution and pharmacokinetic clearance in mice. The goal of these studies is for the Fe(III) agents to clear as extracellular fluid agents and produce profiles similar to those of Gd agents. Finally, studies of multimeric Fe(III) complexes are of interest to produce probes that give large proton relaxivity. In this approach the two Fe(III) centers are connected through aryl linkers as demonstrated for several macrocyclic complexes. Even more tightly connected Fe(III) centers are produced in a Fe(III) self-assembled cage with relaxivity of 21 mM-1 s-1 at 4.7 T, 37 °C in the presence of serum albumin to which it is tightly bound. This cage enhances contrast of the vasculature as a blood pool agent and accumulates in tumors. Finally, we present our perspectives on the further development of Fe(III) complexes for various applications in MRI.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) have been successfully applied in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to facilitate better lesion visualization. However, gadolinium deposition in the human brain raised widespread concerns recently. On the other hand, although high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) MR images are more desired for most existing medical image processing algorithms, their long scan duration and high acquiring costs make 2D MR images still much more common clinically. Therefore, developing alternative solutions for 3D contrast-enhanced MR images synthesis to replace GBCAs injection becomes an urgent requirement. METHODS This study proposed a deep learning framework that produces 3D isotropic full-contrast T2Flair images from 2D anisotropic non-contrast T2Flair image stacks. The super-resolution (SR) and contrast-enhanced (CE) synthesis tasks are completed in sequence by using an identical generative adversarial network (GAN) with the same techniques. To solve the problem that intra-modality datasets from different scanners have specific combinations of orientations, contrasts and resolutions, we conducted a region-based data augmentation technique on the fly during training to simulate various imaging protocols in the clinic. We further improved our network by introducing atrous spatial pyramid pooling, enhanced residual blocks and deep supervision for better quantitative and qualitative results. RESULTS Our proposed method achieved superior CE synthesized performance in quantitative metrics and perceptual evaluation. Detailedly, the PSNR, SSIM and AUC are 32.25 dB, 0.932 and 0.991 in the whole brain and 24.93 dB, 0.851 and 0.929 in tumor regions. The radiologists' evaluations confirmed that our proposed method has high confidence in the diagnosis. Analysis of the generalization ability showed that benefiting from the proposed data augmentation technique, our network can be applied to 'unseen' datasets with slight drops in quantitative and qualitative results. CONCLUSION Our work demonstrates the clinical potential of synthesizing diagnostic 3D isotropic CE brain MR images from a single 2D anisotropic non-contrast sequence.

Abstract
Manganese-based Metal-organic Frameworks (Mn-MOFs) represents a unique sub-class of MOFs with low toxicity, oxidative ability, and biocompatibility, which plays vital role in the application of this class of MOFs in medical field. Mn-MOFs show great potential in biomedical applications, and has been extensively studied as compared to other MOFs in transition metal series. They are important in medical applications because Mn(II) possess large electron spin number and longer electron relaxation time. They display fast water exchange rate and could be employed as a potential MRI contrast agent because of their strong targeting ability. Manganese complexes with different ligands also display prospective applications in area such as carrier for drug targeting in anti-tumor and antimicrobial therapy. In the review presented herewith, the application of Mn-based complexes and Mn-MOFs have been emphasized in the area such as imaging viz. MRI, multimodal imaging, antitumor activities such as chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy and antimicrobial applications. Also, how rational designing and syntheses of targeted Mn-based complexes and Mn-MOFs can engender desired applications.

Abstract
While MnII complexes meet increasing interest in biomedical applications, ligands are lacking that enable high MnII complex stability and selectivity vs. ZnII , the most relevant biological competitor. We report here two new bispidine derivatives, which provide rigid and large coordination cavities that perfectly match the size of MnII , yielding eight-coordinate MnII complexes with record stabilities. In contrast, the smaller ZnII ion cannot accommodate all ligand donors, resulting in highly strained and less stable six-coordinate complexes. Combined theoretical and experimental data (X-ray crystallography, potentiometry, relaxometry and 1 H NMR spectroscopy) demonstrate unprecedented selectivity for MnII vs. ZnII (KMnL /KZnL of 108 -1010 ), in sharp contrast to the usual Irving-Williams behavior, and record MnII complex stabilities and inertness with logKMnL close to 25.

Abstract
Mitochondria are crucial metabolic organelles involved in tumorigenesis and tumor progression, and the induction of abnormal mitochondria metabolism is recognized as a strategy with strong potential for the exploration of advanced tumor therapeutics. Herein, hierarchical manganese silicate nanoclusters modified with triphenylphosphonium (MSNAs-TPP) were designed and synthesized for mitochondria-targeted tumor theranostics. The as-prepared MSNAs-TPP retains considerable dimensional and structural stability in the neutral physiological environment, favoring its accumulation at the tumor site. More interestingly, MSNAs-TPP may disassemble in a responsive manner to an acidic tumor microenvironment into ultrasmall manganese silicate nanocapsules (∼6 nm), enabling deep tumor penetration and mitochondria targeting. When reaching the mitochondria, the nanocapsules effectively deplete mitochondrial glutathione (GSH), and simultaneously release catalytic Mn2+ ions to induce amplified oxidative stress in the structure with the enriched CO2 and H2O2 from mitochondria metabolism. As a result, MSNAs-TPP presents considerable antitumor effect without a clear side effect, both in vitro and in vivo. The study may provide an alternative concept in the development of intelligent nanotherapeutics for tumor treatment with high efficacy.

Abstract
Investigating the relaxation of water 1H nuclei induced by paramagnetic Mn(II) complexes is important to understand the mechanisms that control the efficiency of contrast agents used in diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Herein, a series of potentially hexadentate triazacyclononane (TACN) derivatives containing different pendant arms were designed to explore the relaxation of the electron spin in the corresponding Mn(II) complexes by using a combination of 1H NMR relaxometry and theoretical calculations. These ligands include 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (H3NOTA) and three derivatives in which an acetate group is replaced by sulfonamide (H3NO2ASAm), amide (H2NO2AM), or pyridyl (H2NO2APy) pendants. The analogue of H3NOTA containing three propionate pendant arms (H3NOTPrA) was also investigated. The X-ray structure of the derivative containing two acetate groups and a sulfonamide pendant arm [Mn(NO2ASAm)]- evidenced six-coordination of the ligand to the metal ion, with the coordination polyhedron being close to a trigonal prism. The relaxivities of all complexes at 20 MHz and 25 °C (1.1-1.3 mM-1 s-1) are typical of systems that lack water molecules coordinated to the metal ion. The nuclear magnetic relaxation profiles evidence significant differences in the relaxivities of the complexes at low fields (<1 MHz), which are associated with different spin relaxation rates. The zero field splitting (ZFS) parameters calculated by using DFT and CASSCF methods show that electronic relaxation is relatively insensitive to the nature of the donor atoms. However, the twist angle of the two tripodal faces that delineate the coordination polyhedron, defined by the N atoms of the TACN unit (lower face) and the donor atoms of the pendant arms (upper face), has an important effect in the ZFS parameters. A twist angle close to the ideal value for an octahedral coordination (60°), such as that in [Mn(NOTPrA)]-, leads to a small ZFS energy, whereas this value increases as the coordination polyhedron approaches to a trigonal prism.

Previously prepared Mn(II)- and quinol-containing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent sensors for H2O2 relied on linear polydentate ligands to keep the redox-activatable quinols in close proximity to the manganese. Although these provide positive T1-weighted relaxivity responses to H2O2 that result from oxidation of the quinol groups to p-quinones, these reactions weaken the binding affinity of the ligands, promoting dissociation of Mn(II) from the contrast agent in aqueous solution. Here, we report a new ligand, 1,8-bis(2,5-dihydroxybenzyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, that consists of two quinols covalently tethered to a cyclam macrocycle. The macrocycle provides stronger thermodynamic and kinetic barriers for metal-ion dissociation in both the reduced and oxidized forms of the ligand. The Mn(II) complex reacts with H2O2 to produce a more highly aquated Mn(II) species that exhibits a 130% greater r1, quadrupling the percentile response of our next best sensor. With a large excess of H2O2, there is a noticeable induction period before quinol oxidation and r1 enhancement occurs. Further investigation reveals that, under such conditions, catalase activity initially outcompetes ligand oxidation, with the latter occurring only after most of the H2O2 has been depleted.

Abstract
Four high-spin Fe(III) macrocyclic complexes, including three dinuclear and one mononuclear complex, were prepared toward the development of more effective iron-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. All four complexes contain a 1,4,7-triazacyclononane macrocyclic backbone with two hydroxypropyl pendant groups, an ancillary aryl or biphenyl group, and a coordination site for a water ligand. The pH potentiometric titrations support one or two deprotonations of the complexes, most likely deprotonation of hydroxypropyl groups at near-neutral pH. Variable-temperature 17O NMR studies suggest that the inner-sphere water ligand is slow to exchange with bulk water on the NMR time scale. Water proton T1 relaxation times measured for solutions of the Fe(III) complexes at pH 7.2 showed that the dinuclear complexes have a 2- to 3-fold increase in r1 relaxivity in comparison to the mononuclear complex per molecule at field strengths ranging from 1.4 T to 9.4 T. The most effective agent, a dinuclear complex with macrocycles linked through para-substitution of an aryl group (Fe2(PARA)), has an r1 of 6.7 mM-1 s-1 at 37 °C and 4.7 T or 3.3 mM-1 s-1 per iron center in the presence of serum albumin and shows enhanced blood pool and kidney contrast in mice MRI studies.

Abstract
Manganese-based contrast agents (MnCAs) have emerged as suitable alternatives to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GdCAs). However, due to their kinetic lability and laborious synthetic procedures, only a few MnCAs have found clinical MRI application. In this work, we have employed a highly innovative single-pot template synthetic strategy to develop a MnCA, MnLMe , and studied the most important physicochemical properties in vitro. MnLMe displays optimized r1 relaxivities at both medium (20 and 64 MHz) and high magnetic fields (300 and 400 MHz) and an enhanced r1b =21.1 mM-1 s-1 (20 MHz, 298 K, pH 7.4) upon binding to BSA (Ka =4.2×103 M-1 ). In vivo studies show that MnLMe is cleared intact into the bladder through renal excretion and has a prolonged blood half-life compared to the commercial GdCA Magnevist. MnLMe shows great promise as a novel MRI contrast agent.

Abstract
We report two macrocyclic ligands based on a 1,7-diaza-12-crown-4 platform functionalized with acetate (tO2DO2A2−) or piperidineacetamide (tO2DO2AMPip) pendant arms and a detailed characterization of the corresponding Mn(II) complexes. The X−ray structure of [Mn(tO2DO2A)(H2O)]·2H2O shows that the metal ion is coordinated by six donor atoms of the macrocyclic ligand and one water molecule, to result in seven-coordination. The Cu(II) analogue presents a distorted octahedral coordination environment. The protonation constants of the ligands and the stability constants of the complexes formed with Mn(II) and other biologically relevant metal ions (Mg(II), Ca(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)) were determined using potentiometric titrations (I = 0.15 M NaCl, T = 25 °C). The conditional stabilities of Mn(II) complexes at pH 7.4 are comparable to those reported for the cyclen-based tDO2A2− ligand. The dissociation of the Mn(II) chelates were investigated by evaluating the rate constants of metal exchange reactions with Cu(II) under acidic conditions (I = 0.15 M NaCl, T = 25 °C). Dissociation of the [Mn(tO2DO2A)(H2O)] complex occurs through both proton− and metal−assisted pathways, while the [Mn(tO2DO2AMPip)(H2O)] analogue dissociates through spontaneous and proton-assisted mechanisms. The Mn(II) complex of tO2DO2A2− is remarkably inert with respect to its dissociation, while the amide analogue is significantly more labile. The presence of a water molecule coordinated to Mn(II) imparts relatively high relaxivities to the complexes. The parameters determining this key property were investigated using 17O NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) transverse relaxation rates and 1H nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) profiles.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a leading place in medicine as an imaging tool of high resolution for anatomical studies and diagnosis of diseases, in particular for soft tissues that cannot be accessible by other modalities. Many research works are thus focused on improving the images obtained with MRI. This technique has indeed poor sensitivity, which can be compensated by using a contrast agent (CA). Today, the clinically approved CAs on market are solely based on gadolinium complexes that may induce nephrogenic systemic fibrosis for patients with kidney failure, whereas more recent studies on healthy rats also showed Gd retention in the brain. Consequently, researchers try to elaborate other types of safer MRI CAs like manganese-based complexes. In this context, the synthesis of Mn2+ complexes of four 12-membered pyridine-containing macrocyclic ligands based on the pyclen core was accomplished and described herein. Then, the properties of these Mn(II) complexes were studied by two relaxometric methods, 17O NMR spectroscopy and 1H NMR dispersion profiles. The time of residence (τM) and the number of water molecules (q) present in the inner sphere of coordination were determined by these two experiments. The efficacy of the pyclen-based Mn(II) complexes as MRI CAs was evaluated by proton relaxometry at a magnetic field intensity of 1.41 T near those of most medical MRI scanners (1.5 T). Both the 17O NMR and the nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion profiles indicated that the four hexadentate ligands prepared herein left one vacant coordination site to accommodate one water molecule, rapidly exchanging, in around 6 ns. Furthermore, it has been shown that the presence of an additional amide bond formed when the paramagnetic complex is conjugated to a molecule of interest does not alter the inner sphere of coordination of Mn, which remains monohydrated. These complexes exhibit r1 relaxivities, large enough to be used as clinical MRI CAs (1.7-3.4 mM-1·s-1, at 1.41 T and 37 °C).

Abstract
A Mn(II)-based zinc-sensitive MRI contrast agent, MnPyC3A-BPEN, was prepared, characterized, and applied in imaging experiments to detect glucose-stimulated zinc secretion (GSZS) from the mouse pancreas and prostate in vivo. Thermodynamic and kinetic stability tests showed that MnPyC3A-BPEN has superior kinetic inertness compared to GdDTPA, is less susceptible to transmetalation in the presence of excess Zn2+ ions, and less susceptible to transchelation by albumin. In comparison with other gadolinium-based zinc sensors bearing a single zinc binding moiety, MnPyC3A-BPEN appears to be a reliable alternative for imaging β-cell function in the pancreas and glucose-stimulated zinc secretion from the prostate.

Abstract
We report a detailed investigation of the coordination properties of macrocyclic lanthanide complexes containing a 3,6,10,13-tetraaza-1,8(2,6)-dipyridinacyclotetradecaphane scaffold functionalized with four acetamide pendant arms. The X-ray structures of the complexes with the large Ln3+ ions (La and Sm) display 12- and 10-coordinated metal ions, where the coordination sphere is fulfilled by the six N atoms of the macrocycle, the four O atoms of the acetamide pendants, and a bidentate nitrate anion in the La3+ complex. The analogous Yb3+ complex presents, however, a 9-coordinated metal ion because one of the acetamide pendant arms remains uncoordinated. 1H NMR studies indicate that the 10-coordinated form is present in solution throughout the lanthanide series from La to Tb, while the smaller lanthanides form 9-coordinated species. 1H and 89Y NMR studies confirm the presence of this structural change because the two species are present in solution. Analysis of the 1H chemical shifts observed for the Tb3+ complex confirms its D2 symmetry in aqueous solution and evidences a highly rhombic magnetic susceptibility tensor. The acetamide resonances of the Pr3+ and Tb3+ complexes provided sizable paraCEST effects, as demonstrated by the corresponding Z-spectra recorded at different temperatures and studies on tube phantoms recorded at 22 °C.

The stability constants of Mn2+ complexes with ligands containing a trans-1,2-cyclobutanediamine spacer functionalized with picolinate and/or carboxylate functions were determined using potentiometric titrations (25 °C, 0.1 M KCl). The stability constant of the complex with a hexadentate ligand containing four acetate groups (L14-, log KMnL = 10.26) is improved upon replacing one (L24-, log KMnL = 14.71) or two (L34-, log KMnL = 15.81) carboxylate groups with picolinates. The [Mn(L1)]2- complex contains a water molecule coordinated to the metal ion in aqueous solutions, as evidenced by 1H NMRD studies and 17O chemical shifts and transverse relaxation rates. The 1H relaxivities determined at 60 MHz (3.3 and 2.4 mM-1 s-1 at 25 and 37 °C, respectively) are comparable to those of monohydrated complexes such as [Mn(edta)]2-. The exchange rate of the inner-sphere water molecule (k = 248 × 106 s-1) is slightly lower than that of the edta4- analogue. DFT calculations (M11/def2-TZVP) suggest that the water exchange reaction follows a dissociatively activated mechanism, providing activation parameters in reasonably good agreement with the experimental data. DFT calculations also show that the 17O hyperfine coupling constant A/ℏ is affected slightly by changes in the Mn-Owater distance and the orientation of the water molecule with respect to the Mn-O vector.

Abstract
Positron-emission-tomography (PET) has become an indispensable diagnostic tool in modern nuclear medicine. Its outstanding molecular imaging features allow repetitive studies on one individual and with high sensitivity, though no interference. Rather few positron-emitters with near favourable physical properties, i.e. carbon-11 and fluorine-18, furnished most studies in the beginning, preferably if covalently bound as isotopic label of small molecules. With the advancement of PET-devices the scope of in vivo research in life sciences and especially that of medical applications expanded, and other than "standard" PET-nuclides received increasing significance, like the radiometals copper-64 and gallium-68. Especially during the last decades, positron-emitters of other chemical elements have gotten into the focus of interest, concomitant with the technical advancements in imaging and radionuclide production. With known nuclear imaging properties and main production methods of emerging positron-emitters their usefulness for medical application is promising and even proven for several ones already. Unfortunate decay properties could be corrected for, and β+-emitters, especially with a longer half-life, provided new possibilities for application where slower processes are of importance. Further on, (bio)chemical features of positron-emitters of other elements, among there many metals, not only expanded the field of classical clinical investigations, but also opened up new fields of application. Appropriately labelled peptides, proteins and nanoparticles lend itself as newer probes for PET-imaging, e.g. in theragnostic or PET/MR hybrid imaging. Furthermore, the potential of non-destructive in-vivo imaging with positron-emission-tomography directs the view on further areas of life sciences. Thus, exploiting the excellent methodology for basic research on molecular biochemical functions and processes is increasingly encouraged as well in areas outside of health, such as plant and environmental sciences.

Abstract
We report the Mn(II) complexes with two pyclen-based ligands (pyclen = 3,6,9,15-tetraazabicyclo[9.3.1]pentadeca-1(15),11,13-triene) functionalized with acetate pendant arms at either positions 3,6 (3,6-PC2A) or 3,9 (3,9-PC2A) of the macrocyclic fragment. The 3,6-PC2A ligand was synthesized in five steps from pyclen oxalate by protecting one of the secondary amine groups of pyclen using Alloc protecting chemistry. The complex with 3,9-PC2A is characterized by a higher thermodynamic stability [log KMnL = 17.09(2)] than the 3,6-PC2A analogue [log KMnL = 15.53(1); 0.15 M NaCl]. Both complexes contain a water molecule coordinated to the metal ion, which results in relatively high 1H relaxivities (r1p = 2.72 and 2.91 mM-1 s-1 for the complexes with 3,6-PC2A and 3,9-PC2A, respectively, at 25 °C and 0.49 T). The coordinated water molecule displays fast exchange kinetics with the bulk in both cases; the rates (kex298) are 140 × 106 and 126 × 106 s-1 for [Mn(3,6-PC2A)(H2O)] and [Mn(3,9-PC2A)(H2O)], respectively. The two complexes were found to be remarkably inert with respect to their dissociation, with half-lives of 63 and 21 h, respectively, at pH = 7.4 in the presence of excess Cu(II). The r1p values recorded in blood serum remain constant at least over a period of 120 h. Cyclic voltammetry experiments show irreversible oxidation features shifted to higher potentials with respect to [Mn(EDTA)(H2O)]2- (H4EDTA = ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and [Mn(PhDTA)(H2O)]2- (H4PhDTA = phenylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid), indicating that the PC2A complexes reported here have a lower tendency to stabilize Mn(III). The superoxide dismutase activity of the Mn(II) complexes was tested using the xanthine/xanthine oxidase/p-nitro blue tetrazolium chloride assay at pH = 7.8. The Mn(II) complexes of 3,6-PC2A and 3,9-PC2A are capable of assisting decomposition of the superoxide anion radical. The kinetic rate constant of the complex of 3,9-PC2A is smaller by 1 order of magnitude than that of 3,6-PC2A.

Abstract
We present two ligands containing a N-ethyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzenesulfonamide group attached to either a 6,6'-(azanediylbis(methylene))dipicolinic acid unit (H3DPASAm) or a 2,2'-(1,4,7-triazonane-1,4-diyl)diacetic acid macrocyclic platform (H3NO2ASAm). These ligands were designed to provide a pH-dependent relaxivity response upon complexation with Mn2+ in aqueous solution. The protonation constants of the ligands and the stability constants of the Mn2+ complexes were determined using potentiometric titrations complemented by spectrophotometric experiments. The deprotonations of the sulfonamide groups of the ligands are characterized by protonation constants of log KiH = 10.36 and 10.59 for DPASAm3- and HNO2ASAm2-, respectively. These values decrease dramatically to log KiH = 6.43 and 5.42 in the presence of Mn2+, because of the coordination of the negatively charged sulfonamide groups to the metal ion. The higher log KiH value in [Mn(DPASAm)]- is related to the formation of a seven-coordinate complex, while the metal ion in [Mn(NO2ASAm)]- is six-coordinated. The X-ray crystal structure of Na[Mn(DPASAm)(H2O)]·2H2O confirms the formation of a seven-coordinate complex, where the coordination environment is fulfilled by the donor atoms of the two picolinate groups, the amine N atom, the N atom of the sulfonamide group, and a coordinated water molecule. The lower conditional stability of the [Mn(NO2ASAm)]- complex and the lower protonation constant of the sulfonamide group results in complex dissociation at relatively high pH (<7.0). However, protonation of the sulfonamide group in [Mn(DPASAm)]- falls into the physiologically relevant pH window and causes a significant increase in relaxivity from r1p = 3.8 mM-1 s-1 at pH 9.0 to r1p = 8.9 mM-1 s-1 at pH 4.0 (10 MHz, 25 °C).

Abstract
In this communication, a paramagnetic bifunctional manganese(ii) chelate ([Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2-) containing a catechol group is designed and synthesized. The catechol can bind iron ions on the surface of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanocrystals to form core-shell nanoparticles. Both 4 and 7 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- show good water solubility, single-crystal dispersion, and low cytotoxicity. The study of the interplay between the longitudinal and transverse relaxation revealed that 4 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- with lower r 2/r 1 = 1.75 at 0.5 T tends to be a perfect T 1 contrast agent while 7 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- with a higher r 2/r 1 = 15.0 at 3.0 T tends to be a T 2 contrast agent. Interestingly, 4 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- with an intermediate value of r 2/r 1 = 5.26 at 3.0 T could act as T 1-T 2 dual-modal contrast agent. In vivo imaging with the 4 nm SPIO@[Mn(Dopa-EDTA)]2- nanoparticle shows unique imaging features: (1) long-acting vascular imaging and different signal intensity changes between the liver parenchyma and blood vessels with the CEMRA sequence; (2) the synergistic contrast enhancement of hepatic imaging with the T 1WI and T 2WI sequence. In summary, these Fe/Mn hybrid core-shell nanoparticles, with their ease of synthesis, good biocompatibility, and synergistic contrast enhancement ability, may provide a useful method for tissue and vascular MR imaging.

Abstract
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an indispensable tool for diagnostic medicine. However, safety concerns related to gadolinium in commercial MRI contrast agents have emerged in recent years. For patients suffering from severe renal impairment, there is an important unmet medical need to perform contrast-enhanced MRI without gadolinium. There are also concerns over the long-term effects of retained gadolinium within the general patient population. Demand for gadolinium-free MRI contrast agents is driving a new wave of inorganic chemistry innovation as researchers explore paramagnetic transition-metal complexes as potential alternatives. Furthermore, advances in personalized care making use of molecular-level information have motivated inorganic chemists to develop MRI contrast agents that can detect pathologic changes at the molecular level. Recent studies have highlighted how reaction-based modulation of transition-metal paramagnetism offers a highly effective mechanism to achieve MRI contrast enhancement that is specific to biochemical processes. This Viewpoint highlights how recent advances in transition-metal chemistry are leading the way for a new generation of MRI contrast agents.

Abstract
Several radionuclides of the transition metal manganese are known and accessible. Three of them, 51Mn, 52mMn, and 52gMn, are positron emitters that are potentially interesting for positron emission tomography (PET) applications and, thus, have caught the interest of the radiochemical/radiopharmaceutical and nuclear medicine communities. This mini‐review provides an overview of the production routes and physical properties of these radionuclides. For medical imaging, the focus is on the longer‐living 52gMn and its application for the radiolabelling of molecules and other entities exhibiting long biological half‐lives, the imaging of manganese‐dependent biological processes, and the development of bimodal PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probes in combination with paramagnetic natMn as a contrast agent.

Abstract
Although nowadays there is a renewed and growing interest in Mn-based contrast agents, there are only few studies dealing with Mn-based lipophilic nanoparticles and how they may be optimized as MRI contrast agents. Three amphiphilic paramagnetic Mn(II) complexes based on derivatives of EDTA and 1,4-DO2A were used for the preparation of lipidic nanoparticles. The length and position of the aliphatic chains were found to control whether either vesicular liposomes, nonvesicular bicelles, or a mixture of both was produced as well as the size and morphology of phospholipid-based self-assembling nanoaggregates. These differences determine whether hydrophilic Gd-based contrast agents or fluorescent dyes can be entrapped in the aqueous core of the nanoaggregate. Structural characterization was performed by cryo-TEM. Detailed 1H NMR relaxometric analyses were carried out on all systems. The effect of entrapping gadoteridol in the aqueous core (where present) was studied by preparing diamagnetic amphiphilic Zn(II) analogues. In the case of homogeneous systems, the data were also fitted to obtain the relaxometric parameters for comparison with literature data. The results of these studies demonstrate enhanced relaxivity of the nanoaggregates with respect to monomeric analogues. This work allowed us to understand how to control the formation of different types of nanovesicles (liposomes, bicelles, and micelles), optimize their MRI contrast, and provide different in vivo biodistribution characteristics.

Abstract
Early studies suggested that FeIII complexes cannot compete with GdIII complexes as T1 MRI contrast agents. Now it is shown that one member of a class of high-spin macrocyclic FeIII complexes produces more intense contrast in mice kidneys and liver at 30 minutes post-injection than does a commercially used GdIII agent and also produces similar T1 relaxivity in serum phantoms at 4.7 T and 37 °C. Comparison of four different FeIII macrocyclic complexes elucidates the factors that contribute to relaxivity in vivo including solution speciation. Variable-temperature 17 O NMR studies suggest that none of the complexes has a single, integral inner-sphere water that exchanges rapidly on the NMR timescale. MRI studies in mice show large in vivo differences of three of the FeIII complexes that correspond, in part, to their r1 relaxivity in phantoms. Changes in overall charge of the complex modulate contrast enhancement, especially of the kidneys.
