Raymond JJ, Chowdhury MSI, Crawley MR, Morrow JR. Co(II) Macrocyclic Complexes with Amide-Glycinate Pendants as ParaCEST and Liposomal CEST Agents. Chemistry 2024; 30:e202401638.

Abstract
Macrocyclic Co(II) complexes with appended amide-glycinate groups were prepared to develop paramagnetic Co(II) chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) agents of reduced overall charge. Complexes with reduced charge and lowered osmolarity are important for their loading into liposomes and to provide complexes that are highly water soluble and well tolerated in animals. Co(L1) has two non-coordinating benzyl groups and two amide-glycinate pendants, whereas Co(L2) has two unsubstituted amide pendants and two amide-glycinate pendants on cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclododecane). The 1H NMR spectrum of Co(L1) is consistent with a single cis-pendant isomer with both amide protons in the trans-configuration, as supported by an X-ray crystal structure. Co(L2) has a mixture of different isomers in solution, including the trans-1,4 and 1,8 pendant isomers. The Z-spectrum of Co(L1) shows one highly-shifted CEST peak, whereas Co(L2) exhibits six CEST peaks. Encapsulation of 40 mM Co(L1) in a liposome with osmotically-induced shrinking at 300 mOsm/L produces a liposomal CEST agent with saturation frequency offset of 3 ppm. Addition of the amphiphilic 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-based complex Co(L5) to the liposomal bilayer at 18 mM with Co(L1) encapsulated in the liposome at 50 mM changes the sign and increases the magnitude of the saturation frequency offset to -7.5 ppm at 300 mOsm/L.

Abstract
This study highlights the successful synthesis of a potential ligand, 2,2',2'',2'''-((pyridine-2,6-diylbis(methylene))bis(azanetriyl))tetraacetamide (PATA), along with its corresponding Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes for paraCEST-based agents. X-ray diffraction data confirmed that both the complexes are six coordinated with distorted octahedral geometries, but only the [Co(PATA)]2+ complex has a good structural feature to show paraCEST activity. After a thorough characterization of the ligand and both of its complexes, various studies, including solution-state magnetic properties, redox properties, temperature, and pH variation studies, were carried out. [Co(PATA)]2+ remained inert in the presence of competing ions, under acidic conditions, at high temperatures, and in the physiological pH range. The paraCEST response of [Co(PATA)]2+ has been measured in the presence of HEPES buffer medium, and a high paraCEST feature was discovered at both 37 and 25 °C. The pH variation paraCEST studies were carried out and the exchange rate constant of the probe at 37 and 25 °C was also determined. However, due to the fast exchange of water protons, the [Ni(PATA)(OH2)]2+ complex remained inactive in the CEST process.

Abstract
Fe(III) complexes containing a triamine framework and phenolate or hydroxypyridine donors are characterized and studied as T1 MRI probes. In contrast to most Fe(III) MRI probes of linear chelates reported to date, the ligands reported here are pentadentate to give six-coordinate complexes with a coordination site for inner-sphere water. The crystal structure of the complex containing unsubstituted phenolate donors, Fe(L1)Cl, shows a six-coordinate iron center and contains a chloride ligand that is displaced in water. Two additional derivatives are sufficiently water-soluble for study as MRI probes, including a complex with a hydroxypyridine group, Fe(L2), and a hydroxybenzoic acid group, Fe(L3). The pH potentiometric titrations give protonation constants of 7.2 and 7.5 for Fe(L2) and Fe(L3), respectively, which are assigned to deprotonation of the bound water. Changes in the electronic absorbance spectra of the complexes as a function of pH are consistent with the deprotonation of phenol pendants at acidic pH values. However, the inner-sphere water ligand of Fe(L2) and Fe(L3) does not exchange rapidly on the NMR timescale at pH 6.0 or 7.4, as shown by variable-temperature 17O NMR spectroscopy. The pH-dependent proton relaxivity profiles show a maximum in relaxivity at a near-neutral pH, suggesting that exchange of the protons of the bound water is an important contribution. Competitive binding studies with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) show effective stability constants for Fe(L2) and Fe(L3) at pH 7.4 with log K values of 21.1 and 20.5, respectively. These two complexes are kinetically inert in carbonate phosphate buffer at 37 °C for several hours but transfer iron to transferrin. Fe(L2) and Fe(L3) show enhanced contrast in T1-weighted imaging analyses in BALB/c mice. These studies show that Fe(L2) clears through mixed renal and hepatobiliary routes, while Fe(L3) has a similar pharmacokinetic clearance profile to a macrocyclic Gd(III) contrast agent.

Abstract
Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes of two tri-pyridine-based ligands with two hydroxy and two amide exchangeable protons (TDTA) and with six amide exchangeable protons (TMTP) were investigated for application as paraCEST-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. The two hydroxy groups present in the TDTA ligand were found to be passive while the amide group was active towards the CEST process. In the case of the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes of the TMTP ligand, all three coordinated amide groups participated in the exchange process, and excellent CEST signals were observed. The X-ray structure of the four complexes revealed the seven-coordinate geometry of Co(II) complexes and the six-coordinate geometry of Ni(II) complexes. The presence of amide protons and hydroxy protons in the complexes was detected by the NMR method. The stability of the complexes in solution at high temperatures, in different pH ranges and acidic conditions, in the presence of competing cations, and biologically relevant anions was investigated. Potentiometric titrations were carried out to determine the ligand's protonation constants and the complexes' thermodynamic stability constant at 25.0 °C and I = 0.15 mol L-1 NaClO4. ParaCEST studies of [Co(TMTP)]2+ and [Ni(TMTP)]2+ at variable pH and variable pulse power are highlighted.

Abstract
We report a first-in-class responsive, pentafluorosulfanyl (-SF5)-tagged 19F MRI agent capable of reversibly detecting reducing environments via an FeII/III redox couple. In the FeIII form, the agent displays no 19F MR signal due to paramagnetic relaxation enhancement-induced signal broadening; however, upon rapid reduction to FeII with one equivalent of cysteine, the agent displays a robust 19F signal. Successive oxidation and reduction studies validate the reversibility of the agent. The -SF5 tag in this agent enables 'multicolor imaging' in conjunction with sensors containing alternative fluorinated tags and this was demonstrated via simultaneous monitoring of the 19F MR signal of this -SF5 agent and a hypoxia-responsive agent containing a -CF3 group.

Abstract
Fe(II) and Ni(II) paraCEST contrast agents containing the di-pyridine macrocyclic ligand 2,2',2″-(3,7,10-triaza-1,5(2,6)-dipyridinacycloundecaphane-3,7,10-triyl)triacetamide (DETA) are reported here. Both [Fe(DETA)]2+ and [Ni(DETA)]2+ complexes were structurally characterized. Crystallographic data revealed the seven-coordinated distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry of the [Fe(DETA)]·(BF4)2·MeCN complex with five coordinated nitrogen atoms from the macrocyclic ring and two coordinated oxygen atoms from two amide pendant arms. The [Ni(DETA)]·Cl2·2H2O complex was six-coordinated in nature with a distorted octahedral geometry. Four coordinated nitrogen atoms were from the macrocyclic ring, and two coordinated oxygen atoms were from two amide pendant arms. [Fe(DETA)]2+ exhibited well-resolved sharp proton resonances, whereas very broad proton resonances were observed in the case of [Ni(DETA)]2+ due to the long electronic relaxation times. The CEST peaks for the [Fe(DETA)]2+ complex showed one highly downfield-shifted and intense peak at 84 ppm with another shifted but less intense peak at 28 ppm with good CEST contrast efficiency at body temperature, whereas [Ni(DETA)]2+ showed only one highly shifted intense peak at 78 ppm from the bulk water protons. Potentiometric titrations were performed to determine the protonation constants of the ligand and the thermodynamic stability constant of the [M(DETA)]2+ (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) species at 25.0 °C and I = 0.15 mol·L-1 NaClO4. Metal exchange studies confirmed the stability of the complexes in acidic medium in the presence of physiologically relevant anions and an equimolar concentration of Zn(II) ions.

Abstract
Food quality monitoring and freshness assessment are critical for ensuring food safety at a large scale. Ammonia is used as an important indicator of protein rich food spoilage state. However, current ammonia gas sensors suffer from insufficient sensitivity and selectivity, or sophisticated instrumentation, hindering their practical application in in-situ and real-time food quality monitoring. To overcome such limitations, an innovative nonporous colorimetric complex 1 has been synthesized and investigated for the detection of NH3(g) and its volatile organic derivatives including aliphatic amines, 1,2-diaminopropane(g), isobutylamine(g) and ethylenediamine(g), etc. The sensor operates colorimetrically at room temperature without energy input, with a detection limit to ammonia(g) of 105 ppb, and show excellent reusability. The colorimetric detection mechanism involves a partial spin state change of Fe(II) ions upon exposure to amines in the gas phase. In addition, the complex was utilized as real-time monitoring of meat freshness using a smartphone. Thus, chemosensor 1 is considered as a ground breaking new-generation portable electronic nose for vapors of volatile organic compounds discrimination at room temperature.

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
A metal-organic polyhedron (MOP) with four paramagnetic Fe(III) centers was studied as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probe. The MOP was characterized in solution by using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), UV-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopies, Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry, and in the solid state with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Water proton T1 relaxation properties were examined in solution and showed significant enhancement in the presence of human serum albumin (HSA). The r1 relaxivities in the absence and presence of HSA were 8.7 mM-1 s-1 and 21 mM-1 s-1, respectively, per molecule (2.2 mM-1 s-1 and 5.3 mM-1 s-1 per Fe) at 4.7 T, 37 °C. In vivo studies of the iron MOP show strong contrast enhancement of the blood pool even at a low dose of 0.025 mmol/kg with prolonged residence in vasculature and clearance through the intestinal tract of mice. The MOP binds strongly to serum albumin and shows comparable accumulation in a murine tumor model as compared to a covalently linked Gd-HSA contrast agent.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of the macrocyclic ligands 3,9-PC2AMH (2,2'-(3,6,9-triaza-1(2,6)-pyridinacyclodecaphane-3,9-diyl)diacetamide) and 3,9-PC2AMtBu (2,2'-(3,6,9-triaza-1(2,6)-pyridinacyclodecaphane-3,9-diyl)bis(N-tert-butyl)acetamide) which contain a pyclen platform functionalized with acetamide or tert-butylacetamide pendant arms at positions 3 and 9 of the macrocyclic unit. The corresponding Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes were prepared, isolated and characterised as potential paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (paraCEST) agents. The X-ray structures of the Ni(II) complexes reveal six-coordination of the ligands to the metal ion. The Co(II) complex with 3,9-PC2AMtBu shows a similar six-coordinate structure in the solid state, while the Co(II) complex with 3,9-PC2AMH contains a seven-coordinate metal ion, seventh coordination being completed by the presence of an inner-sphere water molecule. The structure of the Co(II) complexes was investigated using 1H NMR spectroscopy and computational methods. The complexes present a seven-coordinate structure in solution, as demonstrated by the analysis of the paramagnetic shifts using density functional theory. Ligand protonation constants and stability constants of the complexes with 3,9-PC2AMH were determined using potentiometric titrations (I = 0,15 M NaCl). The Co(II) complex was found to be more stable than the Ni(II) analogue (log KCoL = 14.46(5) and log KNiL = 13.15(3)). However, the Ni(II) and Co(II) complexes display similar rate constants characterizing the proton-assisted dissociation mechanism. The presence of highly shifted 1H NMR signals due to the amide protons in slow exchange with bulk water results in sizeable CEST signals, which are observed at +67 and +15 ppm for the Co(II) complex with 3,9-PC2AMH and +42 and +7 ppm for the Ni(II) analogue at 25 °C.

Abstract
Given the high incidence and mortality of cancer, current research is focused on designing efficient diagnostic methods. At present, clinical diagnoses are made based on X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and fiber optic endoscopy. MRI is a powerful diagnostic tool because it is non-invasive, has a high spatial resolution, uses non-ionizing radiation, and has good soft-tissue contrast. However, the long relaxation time of water protons may result in the inability to distinguish different tissues. To overcome this drawback of MRI, magnetic resonance contrast agents can enhance the contrast, improve the sensitivity of MRI-based diagnoses, increase the success rate of surgery, and reduce tumor recurrence. This review focuses on using iron-platinum (FePt) nanoparticles (NPs) in T2-weighted MRI to detect tumor location based on dark-field changes. In addition, existing methods for optimizing and improving FePt NPs are reviewed, and the MRI applications of FePt NPs are discussed. FePT NPs are expected to strengthen MRI resolution, thereby helping to inhibit tumor development.

Abstract
Paramagnetic liposomes containing Fe(III) complexes were prepared by incorporation of mononuclear (Fe(L1) or Fe(L3)) or dinuclear (Fe2(L2)) coordination complexes of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane macrocycles containing 2-hydroxypropyl pendant groups. Two different types of paramagnetic liposomes were prepared. The first type, LipoA, has the mononuclear Fe(L1) complex loaded into the internal aqueous core. The second type, LipoB, has the amphiphilic Fe(L3) complex inserted into the liposomal bilayer and the internal aqueous core loaded with either Fe(L1) (LipoB1) or Fe2(L2) (LipoB2). LipoA enhances both T1 and T2 water proton relaxation rates. Treatment of LipoA with osmotic gradients to produce a nonspherical liposome produces a liposome with a chemical exchange saturation transfer effect as shown by an asymmetry analysis but only at high osmolarity. LipoB1, which contains an amphiphilic complex in the liposomal bilayer, produced a broadened Z-spectrum upon treatment of the liposome with osmotic gradients. The r1 relaxivity of LipoB1 and LipoB2 were higher than the r1 relaxivity of LipoA on a per Fe basis, suggesting an important contribution from the amphiphilic Fe(III) center. The r1 relaxivities of paramagnetic liposomes are relatively constant over a range of magnetic field strengths (1.4-9.4 T), with the ratio of r2/r1 substantially increasing at high field strengths. MRI studies of LipoB1 in mice showed prolonged contrast enhancement in blood compared to the clinically employed Gd(DOTA), which was injected at a 2-fold higher dose per metal than the Fe(III)-loaded liposomes.

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
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
Four high-spin macrocyclic Co(II) complexes with hydroxypropyl or amide pendants and appended coumarin or carbostyril fluorophores were prepared as CEST (chemical exchange saturation transfer) MRI probes. The complexes were studied in solution as paramagnetic CEST (paraCEST) agents and after loading into Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells as cell-based CEST (cellCEST) agents. The fluorophores attached to the complexes through an amide linkage imparted an unusual pH dependence to the paraCEST properties of all four complexes through of ionization of a group that was attributed to the amide NH linker. The furthest shifted CEST peak for the hydroxypropyl-based complexes changed by ∼90 ppm upon increasing the pH from 5 to 7.5. At acidic pH, the Co(II) complexes exhibited three to four CEST peaks with the most highly shifted CEST peak at 200 ppm. The complexes demonstrated substantial paramagnetic water proton shifts which is a requirement for the development of cellCEST agents. The large shift in the proton resonance was attributed to an inner-sphere water at neutral pH, as shown by variable temperature 17O NMR spectroscopy studies. Labeling of yeast with one of these paraCEST agents was optimized with fluorescence microscopy and validated by using ICP mass spectrometry quantitation of cobalt. A weak asymmetry in the Z-spectra was observed in the yeast labeled with a Co(II) complex, toward a cellCEST effect, although the Co(II) complexes were toxic to the cells at the concentrations necessary for observation of cellCEST.

Abstract
Three paramagnetic CoII macrocyclic complexes containing 2-hydroxypropyl pendant groups, 1,1',1'',1'''-(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1,4,8,11-tetrayl)tetrakis- (propan-2-ol) ([Co(L1)]2+ , 1,1'-(4,11-dibenzyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1,8-diyl)bis(propan-2-ol) ([Co(L2)]2+ ), and 1,1'-(4,11-dibenzyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-1,8-diyl)bis(octadecan-2-ol) ([Co(L3)]2+ ) were synthesized to prepare transition metal liposomal chemical exchange saturation transfer (lipoCEST) agents. In solution, ([Co(L1)]2+ ) forms two isomers as shown by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. X-ray crystallographic studies show one isomer with 1,8-pendants in cis-configuration and a second isomer with 1,4-pendants in trans-configuration. The [Co(L2)]2+ complex has 1,8-pendants in a cis-configuration. Remarkably, the paramagnetic-induced shift of water 1 H NMR resonances in the presence of the [Co(L1)]2+ complex is as large as that observed for one of the most effective LnIII water proton shift agents. Incorporation of [Co(L1)]2+ into the liposome aqueous core, followed by dialysis against a solution of 300 mOsm L-1 produces a CEST peak at 3.5 ppm. Incorporation of the amphiphilic [Co(L3)]2+ complex into the liposome bilayer produces a more highly shifted CEST peak at -13 ppm. Taken together, these data demonstrate the feasibility of preparing CoII lipoCEST agents.

Abstract
Yeast-derived β-glucan particles (GPs) are a class of microcarriers under development for the delivery of drugs and imaging agents to immune-system cells for theranostic approaches. However, the encapsulation of hydrophilic imaging agents in the porous GPs is challenging. Here, we show that the unique coordination chemistry of FeIII -based macrocyclic T1 MRI contrast agents permits facile encapsulation in GPs. Remarkably, GPs labeled with the simple FeIII complexes are stable under physiologically relevant conditions, despite the absence of amphiphilic groups. In contrast to the free FeIII coordination complex, the labeled FeIII -GPs have lowered T1 relaxivity and act as a silenced form of the contrast agent. Addition of a fluorescent tag to the FeIII complex produces a bimodal agent to further enable tracking of the nanoparticles and to monitor release. Treatment of the iron-labeled GPs with a maltol chelator or with mildly acidic conditions releases the intact iron complex and restores enhanced T1 relaxation of the water protons.

Abstract
A newly discovered isomer of Co(ii) (1,4,8,11-tetrakis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane = CCRM) produces four highly paramagnetically shifted chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) peaks. The 1,8-pendants of the complex are bound in a trans-arrangement to produce a Co(ii) complex of increased kinetic inertness. The isomers have a stabilized Co(ii) center (E1/2 of 540 to 550 mV versus SHE). Both the 1,8 and the 1,4-isomer are excellent pH probes in solution and in tissue homogenate by virtue of their highly paramagnetically shifted amide protons. These isomers produce both a ratiometric pH readout as well as amide proton exchange rate constants that correlate to pH.
