Abstract
Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are routinely used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). They are essential for choosing the most appropriate medical or surgical strategy for patients with serious pathologies, particularly in oncologic, inflammatory, and cardiovascular diseases. However, GBCAs have been associated with an increased risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in patients with renal failure, as well as the possibility of deposition in the brain, bones, and other organs, even in patients with normal renal function. Research is underway to reduce the quantity of gadolinium injected, without compromising image quality and diagnosis. The next generation of GBCAs will enable a reduction in the gadolinium dose administered. Gadopiclenol is the first of this new generation of GBCAs, with high relaxivity, thus having the potential to reduce the gadolinium dose while maintaining good in vivo stability due to its macrocyclic structure. High-stability and high-relaxivity GBCAs will be one of the solutions for reducing the dose of gadolinium to be administered in clinical practice, while the development of new technologies, including optimization of MRI acquisitions, new contrast mechanisms, and artificial intelligence may help reduce the need for GBCAs. Future solutions may involve a combination of next-generation GBCAs and image-processing techniques to optimize diagnosis and treatment planning while minimizing exposure to gadolinium. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 3.

Abstract
In recent years, the coordination chemistry of high-spin Fe(III) complexes has increasingly attracted interest due to their potential as effective alternatives to Gd(III)-based MRI contrast agents. This paper discusses the results from our study on Fe(III) complexes with two EDTA derivatives, each modified with either one (EDTA-BOM) or two (EDTA-BOM2) benzyloxymethylene (BOM) groups on the acetic arm(s). These pendant hydrophobic groups enable the complexes to form noncovalent adducts with human serum albumin (HSA), leading to an observed increase in relaxivity due to the reduction in molecular tumbling. Our research involved detailed relaxometric measurements and analyses of both 1H and 17O NMR data at varying temperatures and magnetic field strengths, which is conducted with and without the presence of a protein. A significant finding of this study is the effect of electronic relaxation time on the effectiveness of [Fe(EDTA-BOM)(H2O)]- and [Fe(EDTA-BOM2)(H2O)]- as diagnostic MRI probes. By integrating these relaxometric results with comprehensive thermodynamic, kinetic, and electrochemical data, we have thoroughly characterized how structural modifications to the EDTA base ligand influence the properties of the complexes.

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.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Recent safety concerns surrounding the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) have spurred research into identifying alternatives to GBCAs for use with magnetic resonance imaging. This review summarizes the molecular and pharmaceutical properties of a GBCA replacement and how these may be achieved. Complexes based on high-spin, divalent manganese (Mn 2+ ) have shown promise as general purpose and liver-specific contrast agents. A detailed description of the complex Mn-PyC3A is provided, describing its physicochemical properties, its behavior in different animal models, and how it compares with GBCAs. The review points out that, although there are parallels with GBCAs in how the chemical properties of Mn 2+ complexes can predict in vivo behavior, there are also marked differences between Mn 2+ complexes and GBCAs.

Abstract
The deposition time was controlled to prepare Mn nanowires of different lengths and diameters on templates of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) with different pore sizes. The surface of as-prepared Mn nanowires was modified with SiO2 using the sol-gel method to improve their dispersion in aqueous solution. The effects of the diameter and length of the as-prepared Mn nanowires coated with SiO2 on the relaxivity were investigated. It was found that the Mn@SiO2 nanowires have smaller diameters and a higher longitudinal relaxivity (r1) with an increased length. Mn3@SiO2 nanowires had the highest r1 value of 5.8 mM-1 s-1 among the Mn@SiO2 nanowires (Mn3 nanowires have a diameter of about 30 nm and a length of about 0.5 μm length). Additionally, the biocompatibility and in vivo imaging ability of the Mn3@SiO2 nanowires were evaluated. The Mn3@SiO2 nanowires had good cytotoxicity and biocompatibility, and the kidney of SD rats showed a positive enhancement effect during small animal imaging at 1.5 T. This study showed that the Mn3@SiO2 nanowires could potentially become contrast agents (CAs) of longitudinal relaxation time (T1).

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
MRI contrast agents are required in the clinic to detect some pathologies, such as cancers. Nevertheless, at the moment, only small extracellular and non-specific gadolinium complexes are available for clinicians. Moreover, safety issues have recently emerged concerning the use of gadolinium complexes; hence, alternatives are urgently needed. Manganese-based MRI contrast agents could be one of these alternatives and increasing numbers of studies are available in the literature. This review aims at synthesizing all the research, from small Mn complexes to nanoparticular agents, including theranostic agents, to highlight all the efforts already made by the scientific community to obtain highly efficient agents but also evidence of the weaknesses of the developed systems.

Abstract
Considerable efforts have been made to develop nanoparticle-based magnetic resonance contrast agents (CAs) with high relaxivity. The prolonged rotational correlation time (τR) induced relaxivity enhancement is commonly recognized, while the effect of the water coordination numbers (q) on the relaxivity of nanoparticle-based CAs gets less attention. Herein, we first investigated the relationship between T1 relaxivity (r1) and q in manganese-based hybrid micellar CAs and proposed a strategy to enhance the relaxivity by increasing q. Hybrid micelles with different ratios of amphiphilic manganese complex (MnL) and DSPE-PEG2000 were prepared, whose q values were evaluated by Oxygen-17-NMR spectroscopy. Micelles with lower manganese doping density exhibit increased q and enhanced relaxivity, corroborating the conception. In vivo sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging demonstrates that DSPE-PEG/MnL micelles could differentiate metastatic SLN from inflammatory LN. Our strategy makes it feasible for relaxivity enhancement by modulating q, providing new approaches for the structural design of high-performance hybrid micellar CAs.

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.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a hallmark of the function and activation of innate immune cells, can act as a 'double-edged sword', contributing to clear infection as well as causing tissue oxidizing damage in various inflammatory diseases. In this study, an activatable Mn(II) chelate-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent (CA), Mn-TyEDTA (TyEDTA = tyrosine derived ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) structurally featuring a phenol group as the electron-donor, was developed to sense the activity of peroxidase in vitro and in vivo. Mn-TyEDTA demonstrated a peroxidase activity-dependent relaxivity in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/H2O2 with more than a 2.6-fold increase in water proton relaxivity produced (HRP, 500 U; H2O2, 4.5 eq). A mechanism of peroxidase-mediated Mn(II) monomer radical polymerization was confirmed with those oligomers of Mn-TyEDTA such as dimer, trimer and tetramer were found in the LC-MS study. Dynamic MR imaging of normal mice revealed rapid blood clearance and mixed renal and hepatobiliary elimination of Mn-TyEDTA. Furthermore, compared to liver-specific and non-specific extracellular contrast agents (Mn-BnO-TyEDTA (BnO-TyEDTA = benzyl tyrosine-derived ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and Gd-DTPA (DTPA = diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid)), MRI on a monosodium urate (MSU) crystal-induced acute mice model of arthritis showed that inflamed tissues could be selectively enhanced by Mn-TyEDTA, suggesting that this peroxidase-activatable Mn(II) MRI probe could potentially be used for noninvasive detection of MPO activity in vivo.

Abstract
Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) holds exceptional promise for preclinical studies of brain-wide physiology in awake-behaving animals. The objectives of this review are to update the current information regarding MEMRI and to inform new investigators as to its potential. Mn(II) is a powerful contrast agent for two main reasons: (1) high signal intensity at low doses; and (2) biological interactions, such as projection tracing and neural activity mapping via entry into electrically active neurons in the living brain. High-spin Mn(II) reduces the relaxation time of water protons: at Mn(II) concentrations typically encountered in MEMRI, robust hyperintensity is obtained without adverse effects. By selectively entering neurons through voltage-gated calcium channels, Mn(II) highlights active neurons. Safe doses may be repeated over weeks to allow for longitudinal imaging of brain-wide dynamics in the same individual across time. When delivered by stereotactic intracerebral injection, Mn(II) enters active neurons at the injection site and then travels inside axons for long distances, tracing neuronal projection anatomy. Rates of axonal transport within the brain were measured for the first time in "time-lapse" MEMRI. When delivered systemically, Mn(II) enters active neurons throughout the brain via voltage-sensitive calcium channels and clears slowly. Thus behavior can be monitored during Mn(II) uptake and hyperintense signals due to Mn(II) uptake captured retrospectively, allowing pairing of behavior with neural activity maps for the first time. Here we review critical information gained from MEMRI projection mapping about human neuropsychological disorders. We then discuss results from neural activity mapping from systemic Mn(II) imaged longitudinally that have illuminated development of the tonotopic map in the inferior colliculus as well as brain-wide responses to acute threat and how it evolves over time. MEMRI posed specific challenges for image data analysis that have recently been transcended. We predict a bright future for longitudinal MEMRI in pursuit of solutions to the brain-behavior mystery.

Abstract
Liver-specific contrast agents (CAs) can improve the Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detection of focal and diffuse liver lesions by increasing the lesion-to-liver contrast. A novel Mn(II) complex, Mn-BnO-TyrEDTA, with a lipophilic group-modified ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) structure as a ligand to regulate its behavior in vivo, is superior to Gd-EOB-DTPA in terms of a liver-specific MRI contrast agent. An MRI study on mice demonstrated that Mn-BnO-TyrEDTA can be rapidly taken up by hepatocytes with a combination of hepatobiliary and renal clearance pathways. Bromosulfophthalein (BSP) inhibition imaging, biodistribution, and cellular uptake studies confirmed that the mechanism of hepatic targeting of Mn-BnO-TyrEDTA is the hepatic uptake of the amphiphilic anion contrast agent mediated by organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) expressed by functional hepatocytes.

Abstract
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
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
Current biomedical imaging techniques are crucial for the diagnosis of various diseases. Each imaging technique uses specific probes that, although each one has its own merits, do not encompass all the functionalities required for comprehensive imaging (sensitivity, non-invasiveness, etc.). Bimodal imaging methods are therefore rapidly becoming an important topic in advanced healthcare. This bimodality can be achieved by successive image acquisitions involving different and independent probes, one for each mode, with the risk of artifacts. It can be also achieved simultaneously by using a single probe combining a complete set of physical and chemical characteristics, in order to record complementary views of the same biological object at the same time. In this scenario, and focusing on bimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical imaging (OI), probes can be engineered by the attachment, more or less covalently, of a contrast agent (CA) to an organic or inorganic dye, or by designing single objects containing both the optical emitter and MRI-active dipole. If in the first type of system, there is frequent concern that at some point the dye may dissociate from the magnetic dipole, it may not in the second type. This review aims to present a summary of current activity relating to this kind of dual probes, with a special emphasis on lanthanide-based luminescent nano-objects.

Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is a neurotoxicant that, due to its paramagnetic property, also functions as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T1 contrast agent. Previous studies in Mn toxicity have shown that Mn accumulates in the brain, which may lead to parkinsonian symptoms. In this article, we trained support vector machines (SVM) using whole-brain R1 (R1 = 1/T1) maps from 57 welders and 32 controls to classify subjects based on their air Mn concentration ([Mn]Air), Mn brain accumulation (ExMnBrain), gross motor dysfunction (UPDRS), thalamic GABA concentration (GABAThal), and total years welding. R1 was highly predictive of [Mn]Air above a threshold of 0.20 mg/m3 with an accuracy of 88.8% and recall of 88.9%. R1 was also predictive of subjects with GABAThal having less than or equal to 2.6 mM with an accuracy of 82% and recall of 78.9%. Finally, we used an SVM to predict age as a method of verifying that the results could be attributed to Mn exposure. We found that R1 was predictive of age below 48 years of age with accuracies ranging between 75 and 82% with recall between 94.7% and 76.9% but was not predictive above 48 years of age. Together, this suggests that lower levels of exposure (< 0.20 mg/m3 and < 18 years of welding on the job) do not produce discernable signatures, whereas higher air exposures and subjects with more total years welding produce signatures in the brain that are readily identifiable using SVM.

Modulating the Properties of Fe(III) Macrocyclic MRI Contrast Agents by Appending Sulfonate or Hydroxyl Groups. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25102291.

Abstract
Complexes of Fe(III) that contain a triazacyclononane (TACN) macrocycle, two pendant hydroxyl groups, and a third ancillary pendant show promise as MRI contrast agents. The ancillary group plays an important role in tuning the solution relaxivity of the Fe(III) complex and leads to large changes in MRI contrast enhancement in mice. Two new Fe(III) complexes, one with a third coordinating hydroxypropyl pendant, Fe(L2), and one with an anionic non-coordinating sulfonate group, Fe(L1)(OH2), are compared. Both complexes have a deprotonated hydroxyl group at neutral pH and electrode potentials representative of a stabilized trivalent iron center. The r1 relaxivity of the Fe(L1)(OH2) complex is double that of the saturated complex, Fe(L2), at 4.7 T, 37 °C in buffered solutions. However, variable-temperature 17O-NMR experiments show that the inner-sphere water of Fe(L1)(OH2) does not exchange rapidly with bulk water under these conditions. The pendant sulfonate group in Fe(L1)(OH2) confers high solubility to the complex in comparison to Fe(L2) or previously studied analogues with benzyl groups. Dynamic MRI studies of the two complexes showed major differences in their pharmacokinetics clearance rates compared to an analogue containing a benzyl ancillary group. Rapid blood clearance and poor binding to serum albumin identify Fe(L1)(OH2) for development as an extracellular fluid contrast agent.

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
Mn(II) has several favorable physicochemical characteristics and a good toxicity profile, which makes it a viable alternative to the Gd(III)-based MRI contrast agents currently used in clinics. Although many studies have been undertaken in the last 10 years, this is a field of investigation still in rapid and continuous development. This review aims to critically discuss the chemical and magnetic properties of Mn(II) compounds relevant as MRI probes, both small complexes and nanosystems containing a large number of metal centers, the possible approaches for optimizing their efficiency by understanding the role of various molecular parameters that control the relaxation processes, and the most important issues related to stability and kinetic inertness.

Abstract
There is an increasing need for gadolinium-free magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents, particularly for patients suffering from chronic kidney disease. Using a cluster-nanocarrier combination, we have identified a novel approach to the design of biomedical nanomaterials and report here the criteria for the cluster and the nanocarrier and the advantages of this combination. We have investigated the relaxivity of the following manganese oxo clusters: the parent cluster Mn3(O2CCH3)6(Bpy)2 (1) where Bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and three new analogs, Mn3(O2CC6H4CH═CH2)6(Bpy)2 (2), Mn3(O2CC(CH3)═CH2)6(Bpy)2 (3), and Mn3O(O2CCH3)6(Pyr)2 (4) where Pyr = pyridine. The parent cluster, Mn3(O2CCH3)6(Bpy)2 (1), had impressive relaxivity ( r1 = 6.9 mM-1 s-1, r2 = 125 mM-1 s-1) and was found to be the most amenable for the synthesis of cluster-nanocarrier nanobeads. Using the inverse miniemulsion polymerization technique (1) in combination with the hydrophilic monomer acrylamide, we synthesized nanobeads (∼125 nm diameter) with homogeneously dispersed clusters within the polyacrylamide matrix (termed Mn3Bpy-PAm). The nanobeads were surface-modified by co-polymerization with an amine-functionalized monomer. This enabled various postsynthetic modifications, for example, to attach a near-IR dye, Cyanine7, as well as a targeting agent. When evaluated as a potential multimodal MRI contrast agent, high relaxivity and contrast were observed with r1 = 54.4 mM-1 s-1 and r2 = 144 mM-1 s-1, surpassing T1 relaxivity of clinically used Gd-DTPA chelates as well as comparable T2 relaxivity to iron oxide microspheres. Physicochemical properties, cellular uptake, and impacts on cell viability were also investigated.

Abstract
Cationic metal-mediated self-assembly of double-hydrophilic block copolymers (DHBCs) has been of great interest for the preparation of hybrid nanoparticles for versatile applications. Among many functional transition-metal ions, manganese (MnII) is a highly attractive element due to its paramagnetic property with a high coordination number. However, MnII does not lead to the efficient self-assembly of DHBCs because of the relatively high aqueous solubility of coordinated MnII. This article reports a facile method for direct conjugation of MnII ions inside sterically stabilized polymer assemblies, composed of pyrene-end-modified DHBCs. Nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization was used to prepare the poly(ethylene glycol)- b-poly(acrylate) DHBC precursor, followed by the end-modification with pyrene maleimide via the radical-exchange reaction. Employing the self-associated DHBC as the nanoscale template, the simple addition of MnII enables a large number of polyvalent MnII ions to be immobilized at the chelating blocks of DHBCs, which can be readily monitored by the excimeric fluorescence emission change of the terminal pyrene fluorophore. The resulting MnII-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (MnII-PNPs) possess nanogel-like scaffolds, which allow for efficient water permeation at the MnII-incorporated interior for enhanced magnetic resonance contrasting effect. Additionally, by comparing the coordination properties of MnII and cisplatin, we endeavor to understand the internal structures and the relevant physicochemical features of metal-chelated nanoparticles.

Abstract
Tens of millions of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams are performed annually around the world. The contrast agents, which improve diagnostic accuracy, are almost exclusively small, hydrophilic gadolinium(III) based chelates. In recent years concerns have arisen surrounding the long-term safety of these compounds, and this has spurred research into alternatives. There has also been a push to develop new molecularly targeted contrast agents or agents that can sense pathological changes in the local environment. This comprehensive review describes the state of the art of clinically approved contrast agents, their mechanism of action, and factors influencing their safety. From there we describe different mechanisms of generating MR image contrast such as relaxation, chemical exchange saturation transfer, and direct detection and the types of molecules that are effective for these purposes. Next we describe efforts to make safer contrast agents either by increasing relaxivity, increasing resistance to metal ion release, or by moving to gadolinium(III)-free alternatives. Finally we survey approaches to make contrast agents more specific for pathology either by direct biochemical targeting or by the design of responsive or activatable contrast agents.

Abstract
In this study, we designed and synthesized a highly stable manganese (Mn2+)-based hepatobiliary complex by tethering an ethoxybenzyl (EOB) moiety with an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) coordination cage as an alternative to the well-established hepatobiliary gadolinium (Gd3+) chelates and evaluated its usage as a T1 hepatobiliary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent (CA). This new complex exhibits higher r1 relaxivity (2.3 mM-1 s-1) than clinically approved Mn2+-based hepatobiliary complex Mn-DPDP (1.6 mM-1 s-1) at 1.5 T. Mn-EDTA-EOB shows much higher kinetic inertness than that of clinically approved Gd3+-based hepatobiliary MRI CAs, such as Gd-DTPA-EOB and Gd-BOPTA. In addition, in vivo biodistribution and MRI enhancement patterns of this new Mn2+ chelate are comparable to those of Gd3+-based hepatobiliary MRI CAs. The diagnostic efficacy of the new complex was demonstrated by its enhanced tumor detection sensitivity in a liver cancer model using in vivo MRI.

Abstract
Nuclear medicine is composed of two complementary areas, imaging and therapy. Positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon imaging, including single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), comprise the imaging component of nuclear medicine. These areas are distinct in that they exploit different nuclear decay processes and also different imaging technologies. In PET, images are created from the 511 keV photons produced when the positron emitted by a radionuclide encounters an electron and is annihilated. In contrast, in single-photon imaging, images are created from the γ rays (and occasionally X-rays) directly emitted by the nucleus. Therapeutic nuclear medicine uses particulate radiation such as Auger or conversion electrons or β- or α particles. All three of these technologies are linked by the requirement that the radionuclide must be attached to a suitable vector that can deliver it to its target. It is imperative that the radionuclide remain attached to the vector before it is delivered to its target as well as after it reaches its target or else the resulting image (or therapeutic outcome) will not reflect the biological process of interest. Radiochemistry is at the core of this process, and radiometals offer radiopharmaceutical chemists a tremendous range of options with which to accomplish these goals. They also offer a wide range of options in terms of radionuclide half-lives and emission properties, providing the ability to carefully match the decay properties with the desired outcome. This Review provides an overview of some of the ways this can be accomplished as well as several historical examples of some of the limitations of earlier metalloradiopharmaceuticals and the ways that new technologies, primarily related to radionuclide production, have provided solutions to these problems.

Abstract
Gd-based MRI contrast agents (GBCAs) have come under intense regulatory scrutiny due to concerns of Gd retention and delayed toxicity. Three GBCAs comprising acyclic Gd chelates, the class of GBCA most prone to Gd release, are no longer marketed in Europe. Of particular concern are the acyclic chelates that remain available for liver scans, where there is an unmet diagnostic need and no replacement technology. To address this concern, we evaluated our previously reported Mn-based MRI contrast agent, Mn-PyC3A, and nine newly synthesized derivatives as liver specific MRI contrast agents. Within this focused library the transient liver uptake and rate of blood clearance are directly correlated with log P. The complex Mn-PyC3A-3-OBn emerged as the lead candidate due to a combination of high relaxivity, rapid blood clearance, and avid hepatocellular uptake. Mn-PyC3A-3-OBn rendered liver tumors conspicuously hypo-intense in a murine model and is wholly eliminated within 24 h of injection.

Abstract
The synthesized lithium (S)-6,6'-(1-carboxyethylazanediyl)bis(methylene)dipicolinate (Li3cbda) is a new chiral, alanine-based ligand bearing two picolinate functionalities. The trianionic form of the ligand [(cbda)3-] constitutes a seven-coordinate, water-soluble, pentagonal bipyramidal Mn(ii) complex (1). The structural analysis reveals the presence of a water coordinating site in the complex. The complex is thermodynamically very stable, and the stability is not affected by the presence of physiological anions (HCO3-, PO43-, and F-). The pH of the medium exerts a small effect on the stability of the complex. The r1 relaxivity of 3.02 mM-1 s-1 is exhibited by the complex at 1.41 T, pH ∼7.4, and 25 °C. Phantom images obtained via a clinical MRI BRIVO MR355 system established concentration-dependent signal enhancement by the complex. The cytotoxicity test confirmed complex 1 as a biocompatible potential T1-weighted MRI contrast agent.

Abstract
We have reported here a series of ligands containing pentadentate 6,6'-(azanediylbis(methylene))dipicolinic acid units that differ in the substituent present at the amine nitrogen atom (acetate: H3DPAAA; phenyl: H2DPAPhA; dodecyl: H2DPAC12A; 4-hexylphenyl: H2DPAC6PhA). The protonation constants of the hexadentate DPAAA3- and pentadentate DPAPhA2- ligands and the stability constants of their Mn2+ complexes were determined using pH-potentiometry (25 °C, 0.15 M NaCl). The mono-hydrated [Mn(DPAAA)]- complex (log KMnL = 13.19(5)) was found to be considerably more stable than the bis-hydrated [Mn(DPAPhA)] analogue (log KMnL = 9.55(1)). A detailed 1H and 17O NMR relaxometric study was carried out to determine the parameters that govern the proton relaxivities of these complexes. The [Mn(DPAC12A)] complex, which contains a dodecyl lipophilic chain, forms micelles in solution characterized by a critical micellar concentration (cmc) of 96(9) μM. The lipophilic [Mn(DPAC6PhA)] and [Mn(DPAC12A)] derivatives form rather strong adducts with Human Serum Albumin (HSA) with association constants of 7.1 ± 0.1 × 103 and 1.3 ± 0.4 × 105 M-1, respectively. The X-ray structure of the complex {K(H2O)4}{[Mn(DPAAA)(H2O)]}2 shows that the Mn2+ ion in [Mn(DPAAA)]- is coordinated to the six donor atoms of the ligand, a coordinated water molecule completing the pentagonal bipyramidal coordination environment.

Abstract
Disclosed here are a piperazine, a pyridine, and two carboxylate groups containing pentadentate ligand H2pmpa and its corresponding water-soluble Mn(II) complex (1). DFT-based structural optimization implied that the complex had pentagonal bipyramidal geometry where the axial positions were occupied by two water molecules, and the equatorial plane was constituted by the ligand ON3O donor set. Thus, a bis(aquated) disc-like Mn(II) complex has been synthesized. The complex showed higher stability compared with Mn(II)-EDTA complex [log KMnL = 14.29(3)] and showed a very high r1 relaxivity value of 5.88 mM-1 s-1 at 1.41 T, 25 °C, and pH = 7.4. The relaxivity value remained almost unaffected by the pH of the medium in the range of 6-10. Although the presence of 200 equiv of fluoride and bicarbonate anions did not affect the relaxivity value appreciably, an increase in the value was noticed in the presence of phosphate anion due to slow tumbling of the complex. Cell viability measurements, as well as phantom MR images using clinical MRI imager, consolidated the possible candidature of complex 1 as a positive contrast agent.

Abstract
A novel manganese(II) complex based on an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) coordination cage bearing a benzothiazole aniline (BTA) moiety (Mn-EDTA-BTA) was designed and synthesized for use as a liver-specific MRI contrast agent with high chelation stability. In addition to forming a hydrophilic, stable complex with Mn2+, this new Mn chelate was rapidly taken up by liver hepatocytes and excreted by the kidneys and biliary system. The kinetic inertness and R1 relaxivity of the complex were much higher than those of mangafodipir trisodium (MnDPDP), a clinically approved liver-specific MRI contrast agent. The diagnostic utility of this new Mn complex in MRI was demonstrated by high-sensitivity tumor detection in an animal model of liver cancer.

Abstract
Manganese-porphyrin compounds as MRI contrast agents have drawn particular attention due to high relaxivities and unique biodistribution. It has been reported that the charge density of the metal center and steric decompression of the substituents, rather than rotational correlation time, were the key factors to determine the relaxivities of manganese(III) porphyrins. In this study, [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid (PC61BA) was introduced into 5-(4-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-tris (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (APTSPP) to investigate the influence on water proton relaxation. The obtained PC61BA-APTSPP-Mn possesses a relaxivity of 19.2 mM(-1) s(-1), which is greater than that of Mn-APTSPP (11.2 mM(-1) s(-1)) and clinically used Gd-DTPA (4.1 mM(-1) s(-1)) at 0.5 T, and even more effective compared with those binding manganese(III) porphyrins to certain macromolecules. It was reasonably speculated that the high relaxivity of PC61BA-APTSPP-Mn should ascribe to the charge density variation of Mn(III) and steric decompression induced by PC61BA. Both fluorescence emission spectra and cyclic voltammetry results verified the presence of electronic communication between PC61BA and APTSPP-Mn. In addition, the hydrodynamic diameter of PC61BA-APTSPP-Mn aggregates was much smaller than that of APTSPP-Mn aggregates, which may contribute to the higher relaxivity by inhibiting the formation of dimers of APTSPP-Mn. Therefore, the introduction of fullerene derivatives is suggested to be a good strategy for the improvement of the relaxivities of manganese(III) porphyrins.

Abstract
Hypoxia promotes not only the invasiveness of tumor cells, but also chemoresistance in cancer. Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) residing at the site of hypoxic region of tumors have been known to cooperate with tumor cells, and promote proliferation and chemoresistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new strategies to alleviate tumor hypoxia and enhance chemotherapy response in solid tumors. Herein, we have taken advantage of high accumulation of TAMs in hypoxic regions of tumor and high reactivity of manganese dioxide nanoparticles (MnO2 NPs) toward hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for the simultaneous production of O2 and regulation of pH to effectively alleviate tumor hypoxia by targeted delivery of MnO2 NPs to the hypoxic area. Furthermore, we also utilized the ability of hyaluronic acid (HA) modification in reprogramming anti-inflammatory, pro-tumoral M2 TAMs to pro-inflammatory, antitumor M1 macrophages to further enhance the ability of MnO2 NPs to lessen tumor hypoxia and modulate chemoresistance. The HA-coated, mannan-conjugated MnO2 particle (Man-HA-MnO2) treatment significantly increased tumor oxygenation and down-regulated hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the tumor. Combination treatment of the tumors with Man-HA-MnO2 NPs and doxorubicin significantly increased apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of breast tumor, inhibited tumor growth and tumor cell proliferation as compared with chemotherapy alone. In addition, the reaction of Man-HA-MnO2 NPs toward endogenous H2O2 highly enhanced T1- and T2-MRI performance for tumor imaging and detection.

Abstract
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are routinely used to diagnose soft tissue and vascular abnormalities. However, safety concerns limit the use of iodinated and gadolinium (Gd)-based CT and MRI contrast media in renally compromised patients. With an estimated 14% of the US population suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD), contrast media compatible with renal impairment is sorely needed. We present the new manganese(II) complex [Mn(PyC3A)(H2O)](-) as a Gd alternative. [Mn(PyC3A)(H2O)](-) is among the most stable Mn(II) complexes at pH 7.4 (log KML = 11.40). In the presence of 25 mol equiv of Zn at pH 6.0, 37 °C, [Mn(PyC3A)(H2O)](-) is 20-fold more resistant to dissociation than [Gd(DTPA)(H2O)](2-). Relaxivity of [Mn(PyC3A)(H2O)](-) in blood plasma is comparable to commercial Gd contrast agents. Biodistribution analysis confirms that [Mn(PyC3A)(H2O)](-) clears via a mixed renal/hepatobiliary pathway with >99% elimination by 24 h. [Mn(PyC3A)(H2O)](-) was modified to form a bifunctional chelator and 4 chelates were conjugated to a fibrin-specific peptide to give Mn-FBP. Mn-FBP binds the soluble fibrin fragment DD(E) with Kd = 110 nM. Per Mn relaxivity of Mn-FBP is 4-fold greater than [Mn(PyC3A)(H2O)](-) and increases 60% in the presence of fibrin, consistent with binding. Mn-FBP provided equivalent thrombus enhancement to the state of the art Gd analogue, EP-2104R, in a rat model of arterial thrombosis. Mn metabolite analysis reveals no evidence of dechelation and the probe was >99% eliminated after 24 h. [Mn(PyC3A)(H2O)](-) is a lead development candidate for an imaging probe that is compatible with renally compromised patients.
