Abstract
Hyperpolarization techniques provide a dramatic increase in sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. In spite of the outstanding progress in solution-state hyperpolarization of spin-1/2 nuclei, hyperpolarization of quadrupolar nuclei remains challenging. Here, hyperpolarization of quadrupolar 14N nuclei with natural isotopic abundance of >99 % is demonstrated. This is achieved via pairwise addition of parahydrogen to tetraalkylammonium salts with vinyl or allyl unsaturated moieties followed by a subsequent polarization transfer from 1H to 14N nuclei at high magnetic field using PH-INEPT or PH-INEPT+ radiofrequency pulse sequence. Catalyst screening identified water-soluble rhodium complex [Rh(P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3)3Cl] as the most efficient catalyst for hyperpolarization of the substrates under study, providing up to 1.3 % and up to 6.6 % 1H polarization in the cases of vinyl and allyl precursors, respectively. The performance of PH-INEPT and PH-INEPT+ pulse sequences was optimized with respect to interpulse delays, and the resultant experimental dependences were in good agreement with simulations. As a result, 14N NMR signal enhancement of up to 760-fold at 7.05 T (corresponding to 0.15 % 14N polarization) was obtained.

Hyperpolarization of 15N-Pyridinium by Using Parahydrogen Enables Access to Reactive Oxygen Sensors and Pilot In Vivo Studies. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024:e202403144.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance with hyperpolarized contrast agents is one of the most powerful and noninvasive imaging platforms capable for investigating in vivo metabolism. While most of the utilized hyperpolarized agents are based on 13C nuclei, a milestone advance in this area is the emergence of 15N hyperpolarized contrast agents. Currently, the reported 15N hyperpolarized agents mainly utilize the dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (d-DNP) protocol. The parahydrogen enhanced 15N probes have proven to be elusive and have been tested almost exclusively in organic solvents. Herein, we designed a reaction based reactive oxygen sensor 15N-boronobenzyl-2-styrylpyridinium (15N-BBSP) which can be hyperpolarized with para-hydrogen. Reactive oxygen species plays a vital role as one of the essential intracellular signalling molecules. Disturbance of the H2O2 level usually represents a hallmark of pathophysiological conditions. This H2O2 probe exhibited rapid responsiveness toward H2O2 and offered spectrally resolvable chemical shifts. We also provide strategies to bring the newly developed probe from the organic reaction solution into a biocompatible injection buffer and demonstrate the feasibility of in vivo 15N signal detection. The present work manifests its great potential not only for reaction based reactive sensing probes but also promises to serve as a platform to develop other contrast agents.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry is an analytical method that provides information about molecular environments, even for NMR "silent" molecules (spin-0), by analyzing the properties of NMR signals versus the magnitude of the longitudinal field. Conventionally, this technique is performed at fields much higher than Earth's magnetic field, but our work focuses on NMR relaxometry at zero and ultra-low magnetic fields (ZULFs). Operating under such conditions allows us to investigate slow (bio)chemical processes occurring on a timescale from milliseconds to seconds, which coincide with spin evolution. ZULFs also minimize T2 line broadening in heterogeneous samples resulting from magnetic susceptibility. Here, we use ZULF NMR relaxometry to analyze (bio)chemical compounds containing 1H-13C, 1H-15N, and 1H-31P spin pairs. We also detected high-quality ULF NMR spectra of human whole-blood at 0.8 μT, despite a shortening of spin relaxation by blood proteomes (e.g., hemoglobin). Information on proton relaxation times of blood, a potential early biomarker of inflammation, can be acquired in under a minute using inexpensive, portable/small-size NMR spectrometers based on atomic magnetometers.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool used in modern science and technology. Its novel incarnation, based on measurements of NMR signals without external magnetic fields, provides direct access to intramolecular interactions based on heteronuclear scalar J-coupling. The uniqueness of these interactions makes each zero-field NMR spectrum distinct and useful in chemical fingerprinting. However, the necessity of heteronuclear coupling often results in weak signals due to the low abundance of certain nuclei (e.g., 15N). Hyperpolarization of such compounds may solve the problem. In this work, we investigate molecules with natural isotopic abundance that are polarized using non-hydrogenative parahydrogen-induced polarization. We demonstrate that spectra of hyperpolarized naturally abundant pyridine derivatives can be observed and uniquely identified whether the same substituent is placed at a different position of the pyridine ring or different constituents are placed at the same position. To do so, we constructed an experimental system using a home-built nitrogen vapor condenser, which allows for consistent long-term measurements, crucial for identifying naturally abundant hyperpolarized molecules at a concentration level of ~1 mM. This opens avenues for future chemical detection of naturally abundant compounds using zero-field NMR.

Abstract
Nanomaterials play an important role in the development and application of hyperpolarized materials for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this context they can not only act as hyperpolarized materials which are directly imaged but also play a role as carriers for hyperpolarized gases and catalysts for para-hydrogen induced polarization (PHIP) to generate hyperpolarized substrates for metabolic imaging. Those three application possibilities are discussed, focusing on carbon-based materials for the directly imaged particles. An overview over recent developments in all three fields is given, including the early developments in each field as well as important steps towards applications in MRI, such as making the initially developed methods more biocompatible and first imaging experiments with spatial resolution in either phantoms or in vivo studies. Focusing on the important features nanomaterials need to display to be applicable in the MRI context, a wide range of different approaches to that extent is covered, giving the reader a general idea of different possibilities as well as recent developments in those different fields of hyperpolarized magnetic resonance. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a type of reactive oxygen species that regulates essential biological processes. Despite the central role of H2O2 in pathophysiological states, available molecular probes for assessing H2O2 in vivo are still limited. This work develops hyperpolarized 15N-boronobenzyl-4-cyanopyridinium (15N-BBCP) as a rationally designed molecular probe for detecting H2O2. The 15N-BBCP demonstrated favorable physicochemical and biochemical properties for H2O2 detection and dynamic nuclear polarization, allowing noninvasive detection of H2O2. In particular, 15N-BBCP and the products possessed long spin-lattice relaxation times and spectrally resolvable 15N chemical shift differences. The performance of hyperpolarized 15N-BBCP was demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo with time-resolved 15N-MRS. This study highlights a promising approach to designing a reaction-based 15N-labeled molecular imaging agent for detecting oxidative stress in vivo.

Abstract
The continuous development of magnetic resonance imaging broadens the range of applications to newer areas. Using MRI, we can not only visualize, but also track pharmaceutical substances and labeled cells in both in vivo and in vitro tests. 1H is widely used in the MRI method, which is determined by its high content in the human body. The potential of the MRI method makes it an excellent tool for imaging the morphology of the examined objects, and also enables registration of changes at the level of metabolism. There are several reports in the scientific publications on the use of clinical MRI for in vitro tracking. The use of multinuclear MRI has great potential for scientific research and clinical studies. Tuning MRI scanners to the Larmor frequency of a given nucleus, allows imaging without tissue background. Heavy nuclei are components of both drugs and contrast agents and molecular complexes. The implementation of hyperpolarization techniques allows for better MRI sensitivity. The aim of this review is to present the use of multinuclear MRI for investigations in drug delivery.

Abstract
Hyperpolarization is a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique which can be used to significantly enhance the signal in NMR experiments. In recent years, the possibility to enhance the NMR signal of heteronuclei by the use of para-hydrogen induced polarization (PHIP) has gained attention, especially in the area of possible applications in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Herein we introduce a way to synthesize a fully deuterated, 15N labelled amino acid derivative and the possibility to polarize the 15N by means of hydrogenation with para-hydrogen to a polarization level of 0.18%. The longevity of the polarization with a longitudinal relaxation time of more than a minute can allow for the observation of dynamic processes and metabolic imaging in vivo. In addition, we observe the phenomenon of proton–deuterium exchange with a homogeneous catalyst leading to signal enhanced allyl moeities in the precursor. A perdeuterated, 15N-labeled derivative of the amino acid glycine has been synthesized and polarized by means of para-hydrogen induced polarization (PHIP).![]()

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging of [1-13 C]hyperpolarized carboxylates (most notably, [1-13 C]pyruvate) allows one to visualize abnormal metabolism in tumors and other pathologies. Herein, we investigate the efficiency of 1 H and 13 C hyperpolarization of acetate and pyruvate esters with ethyl, propyl and allyl alcoholic moieties using heterogeneous hydrogenation of corresponding vinyl, allyl and propargyl precursors in isotopically unlabeled and 1-13 C-enriched forms with parahydrogen over Rh/TiO2 catalysts in methanol-d4 and in D2 O. The maximum obtained 1 H polarization was 0.6±0.2 % (for propyl acetate in CD3 OD), while the highest 13 C polarization was 0.10±0.03 % (for ethyl acetate in CD3 OD). Hyperpolarization of acetate esters surpassed that of pyruvates, while esters with a triple carbon-carbon bond in unsaturated alcoholic moiety were less efficient as parahydrogen-induced polarization precursors than esters with a double bond. Among the compounds studied, the maximum 1 H and 13 C NMR signal intensities were observed for propyl acetate. Ethyl acetate yielded slightly less intense NMR signals which were dramatically greater than those of other esters under study.

Chukanov NV, Salnikov OG, Trofimov IA, Kabir MSH, Kovtunov KV, Koptyug IV, Chekmenev EY. Synthesis and 15 N NMR Signal Amplification by Reversible Exchange of [ 15 N]Dalfampridine at Microtesla Magnetic Fields. Chemphyschem 2021; 22:960-967. [PMID: 33738893 DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202100109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2021] [Revised: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Signal Amplification by Reversible Exchange (SABRE) technique enables nuclear spin hyperpolarization of wide range of compounds using parahydrogen. Here we present the synthetic approach to prepare 15 N-labeled [15 N]dalfampridine (4-amino[15 N]pyridine) utilized as a drug to reduce the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. The synthesized compound was hyperpolarized using SABRE at microtesla magnetic fields (SABRE-SHEATH technique) with up to 2.0 % 15 N polarization. The 7-hour-long activation of SABRE pre-catalyst [Ir(IMes)(COD)Cl] in the presence of [15 N]dalfampridine can be remedied by the use of pyridine co-ligand for catalyst activation while retaining the 15 N polarization levels of [15 N]dalfampridine. The effects of experimental conditions such as polarization transfer magnetic field, temperature, concentration, parahydrogen flow rate and pressure on 15 N polarization levels of free and equatorial catalyst-bound [15 N]dalfampridine were investigated. Moreover, we studied 15 N polarization build-up and decay at magnetic field of less than 0.04 μT as well as 15 N polarization decay at the Earth's magnetic field and at 1.4 T.

Abstract
While many drugs and metabolites contain nitrogen, harnessing their diagnostic 15N NMR signature for their characterization is underutilized because of inherent detection difficulties. Here, we demonstrate how precise ultralow field signal amplification by reversible exchange (±0.2 mG) in conjunction parahydrogen and an iridium precatalyst of the form IrCl(COD)(NHC) with the coligand d9-benzylamine allows the naturally abundant 15N NMR signatures of pyridine, pyrazine, metronidazole, and acetonitrile to be readily detected at 9.4 T in single NMR observations through >50% 15N polarization levels. These signals allow for rapid and precise reagent quantification via a response that varies linearly over the 2-70 mM concentration range.
