Molecules 2024; 29:738. [PMID: 38338481 PMCID: PMC10856727 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29030738] [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: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Dynamic nuclear polarization for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and imaging uses free radicals to strongly enhance the NMR signal of a compound under investigation. At the same time, the radicals shorten significantly its nuclear spin relaxation times which reduces the time window available for the experiments. Radical scavenging can overcome this drawback. Our work presents a detailed study of the reduction of the TEMPOL radical by ascorbic acid in solution by high-resolution NMR. Carbon-13 and hydrogen-1 nuclear spin relaxations are confirmed to be restored to their values without TEMPOL. Reaction mechanism, kinetics, and the influence of pD and viscosity are thoroughly discussed. The detailed investigation conducted in this work should help with choosing suitable concentrations in the samples for dynamic nuclear polarization and optimizing the measurement protocols.

[PMID: 36797796 PMCID: PMC10963042 DOI: 10.1002/mrm.29619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effect of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) on the T1 of 129 Xe and 1 H and to measure the relaxation of 129 Xe in blood at low and high magnetic field strengths. METHODS 129 Xe and 1 H T1 relaxometry was performed at low- and high-field strengths in samples containing different SPION concentrations, while imaging was used to compare the contrast obtainable in these two field regimes. In vivo experiments at variable field strengths were performed to determine the depolarization of 129 Xe in blood and the feasibility of in vivo dissolved-phase spectroscopy and imaging at low field. RESULTS The SPION relaxivity was substantially greater at low field for 1 H, increasing from 0.92 ± 0.06 mM s-1 at 11.7T to 31.5 ± 1.8 mM s-1 at 0.6 mT, and for 129 Xe, which increased from 0.13 ± 0.03 mM s-1 at 11.7T to 7.32 ± 0.71 mM s-1 at 2.1 mT. The additional MR signal loss increased from 0.7% at 9.4T to 20.6 ± 4.2% at 0.6 mT for 1 H and from -0.7 ± 3.4% at 9.4T to 12.7 ± 3.5% at 2.1 mT for 129 Xe. Blood was found to depolarize 129 Xe below 3T in a manner inversely proportional to the field strength. In vitro studies at 2.1 mT suggest 129 Xe relaxation times below 5 s in blood dilutions as low as 0.4% volume. CONCLUSION SPIONs longitudinal relaxivity increases at low field both for 1 H and 129 Xe. The depolarization of xenon in blood, which is found to increase below 3T, effectively prevents in vivo dissolved-phase spectroscopy and imaging at low-field strengths.

Abstract
Biologics are emerging as the most important class of drugs and are used to treat a large variety of pathologies. Most of biologics are proteins administered in large amounts, either by intramuscular injection or by intravenous infusion. Asparaginase is a large tetrameric protein assembly, currently used against acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Here, a gadolinium(III)-DOTA derivative has been conjugated to asparaginase, and its relaxation properties have been investigated to assess its efficiency as a possible theranostic agent. The field-dependent 1H longitudinal relaxation measurements of water solutions of gadolinium(III)-labeled asparaginase indicate a very large increase in the relaxivity of this paramagnetic protein complex with respect to small gadolinium chelates, opening up the possibility of its use as an MRI contrast agent.

Abstract
Bispidine (3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) provides a rigid and preorganized scaffold that is particularly interesting for the stable and inert complexation of metal ions, especially for their application in medical imaging. In this study, we present the synthesis of two bispidine ligands with N-methanephosphonate (H4L1) and N-methanecarboxylate (H3L2) substituents as well as the physico-chemical properties of the corresponding Mn2+ and Zn2+ complexes. The two complexes [Mn(L1)]2- and [Mn(L2)]- have relatively moderate thermodynamic stability constants according to potentiometric titration data. However, they both display an exceptional kinetic inertness, as assessed by transmetallation experiments in the presence of 50 equiv excess of Zn2+, showing only ∼40 and 20% of dissociation for [Mn(L1)]2- and [Mn(L2)]-, respectively, after 150 days at pH 6 and 37 °C. Proton relaxivities amount to r1 = 4.31 mM-1 s-1 ([Mn(L1)]2-) and 3.64 mM-1 s-1 ([Mn(L2)]-) at 20 MHz, 25 °C, and are remarkable for Mn2+ complexes with one inner-sphere water molecule (q = 1); they are comparable to that of the commercial contrast agent [Gd(DOTA)(H2O)]-. The presence of one inner-sphere water molecule and an associative water exchange mechanism was confirmed by temperature-dependent transverse 17O relaxation rate measurements, which yielded kex298 = 0.12 × 107 and 5.5 × 107 s-1 for the water exchange rate of the phosphonate and the carboxylate complex, respectively. In addition, radiolabeling experiments with 52Mn were also performed with H2(L1)2- showing excellent radiolabeling properties and quantitative complexation at pH 7 in 15 min at room temperature as well as excellent stability of the complex in various biological media over 24 h.

Abstract
Selectivity and image contrast are always challenging in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which are - inter alia - addressed by contrast agents. These compounds still need to be improved, and their relaxation properties, i. e., their paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE), needs to be understood. The main goal is to improve specificity and relaxivities, especially at the high magnetic fields currently exploited not only in material science but also in the medical environment. Longitudinal and transverse relaxivities, r1 and r2 , which correspond to the longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates R1 and R2, normalized to the concentration of the paramagnetic moieties, need to be considered because both contribute to the image contrast. 1 H-relaxivities r1 and r2 of high-spin heterometallic clusters were studied containing lanthanide and transition-metal ions within a polyoxometalate matrix. A wide range of magnetic fields from 0.5 T/20 MHz to 33 T/1.4 GHz was applied. The questions addressed here concern the rotational and diffusion correlation times which determine the relaxivities and are affected by the solvent's viscosity. Moreover, the variation of the lanthanide and transition-metal ions of the clusters provided insights into the sensitivity of PRE with respect to the electron spin properties of the paramagnetic centers as well as cooperative effects between lanthanides and transition metal ions.

Abstract
We consider the longitudinal quadrupole relaxation rate enhancement (QRE) of a 1H nucleus due to the time fluctuations of the local dipolar magnetic field created by a close quadrupole 14N nucleus, the electric-field gradient (EFG) Hamiltonian of which changes with time because of vibrations/distortions of its chemical environment. The QRE is analytically expressed as a linear combination of the cosine Fourier transforms of the three quantum time auto-correlation functions GAA(t) of the 14N spin components along the principal axes A = X, Y, and Z of the mean (time-averaged) EFG Hamiltonian. Denoting the three transition frequencies between the energy levels of this mean Hamiltonian by νA, the functions GAA(t) oscillate at frequencies νA + sA/(2π) with mono-exponential decays of relaxation times τA, where the frequency dynamic shifts sA and the relaxation times τA are closed expressions of the magnitude of the fluctuations of the instantaneous EFG Hamiltonian about its mean and of the characteristic fluctuation time. Thus, the theoretical QRE is the sum of three Lorentzian peaks centered at νA + sA/(2π) with full widths at half maxima 1/(πτA). The predicted peak widths are nearly equal. The predicted dynamic shifts of the peaks are much smaller than their widths and amazingly keep proportional to the transition frequencies νA for reasonably fast EFG fluctuations. The theory is further improved by correcting the transition frequencies by the 14N Zeeman effects of second order. It is successfully applied to reinterpret the QRE pattern measured by Broche, Ashcroft, and Lurie [Magn. Reson. Med. 68, 358 (2012)] in normal cartilage.

Abstract
Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations are used to predict 1H NMR T1 relaxation of water from paramagnetic Gd3+ ions in solution at 25 °C. Simulations of the T1 relaxivity dispersion function r1 computed from the Gd3+-1H dipole-dipole autocorrelation function agree within ≃8% of measurements in the range f0 ≃ 5 ↔ 500 MHz, without any adjustable parameters in the interpretation of the simulations, and without any relaxation models. The simulation results are discussed in the context of the Solomon-Bloembergen-Morgan inner-sphere relaxation model, and the Hwang-Freed outer-sphere relaxation model. Below f0 ≲ 5 MHz, the simulation overestimates r1 compared to measurements, which is used to estimate the zero-field electron-spin relaxation time. The simulations show potential for predicting r1 at high frequencies in chelated Gd3+ contrast-agents used for clinical MRI.

Abstract
The lanthanide(iii) complexes (Gd, Eu, Dy, and Yb) of DOTA tris(amide) and bis(amide) derivatives (L1 and L2) featuring one redox active TEMPO arm were prepared. Ligand L2 harbours an alkyne fragment for further functionalization. The X-ray crystal structure of ligand L2 in complexation with Na+ was solved. The complexes showed in their CV one oxidation wave (0.26-0. 34 V vs. Fc+/Fc) due to an oxoammonium/nitroxide redox couple and a broad reduction corresponding to the nitroxide/hydroxylamine system. The Eu complexes demonstrated the presence of one water molecule in their coordination sphere. The nitroxide complexes were characterized by EPR spectroscopy, showing the typical 3-line pattern in the high temperature regime, which is quenched upon the addition of ascorbate (reduction into hydroxylamine). In their nitroxide form, the complexes show essentially no CEST peak. Conversely, the reduced complexes demonstrate a 12% CEST peak at 51 ppm, corresponding to the metal bound water molecule. Fast exchange precluded the CEST activity for the amide protons. All the complexes proved to be essentially non-toxic for M21 cells at concentrations up to 50 μM.

Abstract
Field-cycling NMR relaxometry is a well-established technique that can give information on molecular structure and dynamics of biological systems. It provides the nuclear relaxation rates as a function of the applied magnetic field, starting from fields as low as ~ 10-4 T up to about 1-3 T. The profiles so collected, called nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) profiles, can be extended to include the relaxation rates at the largest fields achievable with high resolution NMR spectrometers. By exploiting this wide range of frequencies, the NMRD profiles can provide information on motions occurring on time scales from 10-6 to 10-9 s. 1H NMRD measurements have proved very useful also for the characterization of paramagnetic proteins, because they can help characterise a number of parameters including the number, distance and residence time of water molecules coordinated to the paramagnetic center, the reorientation correlation times and the electron spin relaxation time, and the electronic structure at the metal site.

Abstract
For paramagnetic species, it has been long understood that the hyperfine interaction between the unpaired electrons and the nucleus results in a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) peak that is shifted by a paramagnetic shift, rather than split by the coupling, due to an averaging of the electronic magnetic moment caused by electronic relaxation that is fast in comparison to the hyperfine coupling constant. However, although this feature of paramagnetic NMR has formed the basis of all theories of the paramagnetic shift, the precise theory and mechanism of the electronic relaxation required to predict this result has never been discussed, nor has the assertion been tested. In this paper, we show that the standard semi-classical Redfield theory of relaxation fails to predict a paramagnetic shift, as does any attempt to correct for the semi-classical theory using modifications such as the inhomogeneous master equation or Levitt-di Bari thermalization. In fact, only the recently-introduced Lindbladian theory of relaxation in magnetic resonance [J.Magn.Reson., 310, 106645 (2019)] is able to correctly predict the paramagnetic shift tensor and relaxation-induced linewidth in pNMR. Furthermore, this new formalism is able to predict the NMR spectra of paramagnetic species outside the high-temperature and weak-order limits, and is therefore also applicable to dynamic nuclear polarization. The formalism is tested by simulations of five case studies, which include Fermi-contact and spin-dipolar hyperfine couplings, g-anisotropy, zero-field splitting, high and low temperatures, and fast and slow electronic relaxation.

Abstract
In this article T1 dispersion measurements on a set of crude oils that span a viscosity range of 0.7 cP up to 2·104 cP are reported. Larmor frequencies were varied from 10 kHz up to 20 MHz. The relaxation dispersion measurements are interpreted in terms of the threshold viscosity model, which allows model applicability tests presented in literature to be extended to Larmor frequencies below 1 MHz. It is shown that the measurements can be equally well described by assuming a proton-proton interaction process as by assuming proton-electronic spin interactions. A power-law frequency dependence of the threshold viscosity parameter is observed for both types of spin interactions. Modifications to the description of rotational diffusion in the threshold viscosity model are suggested that may account for the observed frequency dependence in the threshold viscosity parameter. Without modifications, the threshold viscosity model is shown to have a limited application range of η ≥ 40 cP and ω0/2π ≥ 700 kHz, in which model parameters have a physically justifiable order of magnitude for the set of crude oils studied. Outside this range, the threshold viscosity model can still be applied as a parametrization of T1 dispersion effects for the complete set of experiments presented in this study. This explicit viscosity and Larmor frequency dependent parametrization may be used as first-order approximation to T1 dispersion in crude oils for which only oil viscosity is known and may be applied to polarization level and pulse sequence simulations in low field NMR relaxometry studies up to 20 MHz for a wide range of crude oil viscosities, and in particular for better interpretation of NMR flow measurements on crude oils.

Abstract
In this work a methodology to perform Bayesian model-comparison is developed and exemplified in the analysis of nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) experiments of water in a ganglioside micelle system. NMRD is a powerful tool to probe slow dynamics in complex liquids. There are many interesting systems that can be studied with NMRD, such as ionic and lyotropic liquids or electrolytes. However, to progress in the understanding of the studied systems, relatively detailed theoretical NMRD-models are required. To improve the models, they need to be carefully compared, in addition to physico-chemical considerations of molecular and spin dynamics. The comparison is performed by computing the Bayesian evidence in terms of a thermodynamic integral solved with Markov chain Monte Carlo. The result leads to a conclusion of two micelle water-pools, and rules out both less and more parameters, i.e., one and three pools. On the other hand, if only the quality of the fits is considered (i.e., mean square deviation or χ2) a three water-pool model is the best. The latter can be expected since with more adjustable parameters a better fit is more likely. Bayesian evidence is needed to rank the uncertainty of the models, and in order to explain the outcome a notation of Ockham-entropy is defined. The two approximate selection tools, Akaike and Baysian information criterions, may lead to wrong conclusions compared to the full integration. This methodology is expected to be one of several important tools in NMRD model development; however, it is completely general and should find awakened use in many research areas.

Abstract
This work explores what Fast Field-Cycling Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (FFC-NMR) relaxometry brings for the study of sarcoma to guide future in vivo analyses of patients. We present the results of an ex vivo pilot study involving 10 cases of biopsy-proven sarcoma and we propose a quantitative method to analyse 1H NMR relaxation dispersion profiles based on a model-free approach describing the main dynamical processes in the tissues and assessing the amplitude of the Quadrupole Relaxation Enhancement effects due to 14N. This approach showed five distinct groups of dispersion profiles indicating five discrete categories of sarcoma, with differences attributable to microstructure and rigidity. Data from tissues surrounding sarcomas indicated very significant variations with the proximity to tumour, which may be attributed to varying water content but also to tissue remodelling processes due to the sarcoma. This pilot study illustrates the potential of FFC relaxometry for the detection and characterisation of sarcoma.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The objective is to elucidate the multiscale dynamics of water within natural mixtures of minerals, green earth pigments that are mainly composed of phyllosilicates containing large amount of iron. In particular, the interaction of water with the different kinds of surfaces has to be probed. One issue is to examine the influence of surface type, basal or edge, on the dispersion quality. EXPERIMENT The study was carried out using 1H variable field NMR relaxometry on various green earth pigment dispersions and concentrations. To analyse the data, a new analytical model was developed for natural phyllosilicates containing large amount of paramagnetic centres. FINDING The proposed theoretical framework is able to fit the experimental data for various samples using few parameters. It allows to determining water diffusion and residence times in complex phyllosilicate dispersions. Furthermore, it makes it possible to differentiate the contribution of the basal and edge surfaces and their respective surface area in interaction with water. Moreover, NMR relaxation profile reveals to be highly sensitive to the structural aspect of the phyllosilicates and to the accessibility of water to iron, hence allowing to discriminate clearly between two very similar phyllosilicates (glauconite and celadonite) that are difficult to distinguish by standard structural methods.

Abstract
An extended set of paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) data, up to the field of 32.9 Tesla, is reported for protons in an acidified aqueous solution of a Ni(II) salt in the presence and in the absence of added glycerol. For the 55% w/w glycerol sample, a distinct maximum in the PRE vs magnetic field curve is observed for the first time. The data are analysed using the Swedish slow-motion theory, including both the intramolecular (inner-sphere) and intermolecular (outer-sphere) contributions. The results indicate that estimating the outer-sphere part in the presence of the more efficient inner-sphere term is a difficult task.

Abstract
The magnetic interactions between the nuclear magnetic moment and the magnetic moment of unpaired electron(s) depend on the structure and dynamics of the molecules where the paramagnetic center is located and of their partners. The long-range nature of the magnetic interactions is thus a reporter of invaluable information for structural biology studies, when other techniques often do not provide enough data for the atomic-level characterization of the system. This precious information explains the flourishing of paramagnetism-assisted NMR studies in recent years. Many paramagnetic effects are related to the magnetic susceptibility of the paramagnetic metal. Although these effects have been known for more than half a century, different theoretical models and new approaches have been proposed in the last decade. In this review, we have summarized the consequences for NMR spectroscopy of magnetic interactions between nuclear and electron magnetic moments, and thus of the presence of a magnetic susceptibility due to metals, and we do so using a unified notation.

Abstract
1H spin-lattice nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation experiments have been performed for triphenylbismuth dichloride (C18H15BiCl2) and phenylbismuth dichloride (C6H5BiCl2) in powder. The frequency range of 20-128 MHz has been covered. Due to 1H-209Bi dipole-dipole interactions, a rich set of pronounced Quadrupole Relaxation Enhancement (QRE) peaks (quadrupole peaks) has been observed. The QRE patterns for both compounds have been explained in terms of single- and double-quantum transitions of the participating nuclei. The analysis has revealed a complex, quantum-mechanical mechanism of the QRE effects. The mechanism goes far beyond the simple explanation of the existence of three quadrupole peaks for 14N reported in literature. The analysis has been supported by nuclear quadrupole resonance results that independently provided the 209Bi quadrupole parameters (amplitude of the quadrupole coupling constant and asymmetry parameter).

Abstract
The field of paramagnetic NMR has expanded considerably in recent years. This review addresses both the theoretical description of paramagnetic NMR, and the way in which it is currently practised. We provide a review of the theory of the NMR parameters of systems in both solution and the solid state. Here we unify the different languages used by the NMR, EPR, quantum chemistry/DFT, and magnetism communities to provide a comprehensive and coherent theoretical description. We cover the theory of the paramagnetic shift and shift anisotropy in solution both in the traditional formalism in terms of the magnetic susceptibility tensor, and using a more modern formalism employing the relevant EPR parameters, such as are used in first-principles calculations. In addition we examine the theory first in the simple non-relativistic picture, and then in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. These ideas are then extended to a description of the paramagnetic shift in periodic solids, where it is necessary to include the bulk magnetic properties, such as magnetic ordering at low temperatures. The description of the paramagnetic shift is completed by describing the current understanding of such shifts due to lanthanide and actinide ions. We then examine the paramagnetic relaxation enhancement, using a simple model employing a phenomenological picture of the electronic relaxation, and again using a more complex state-of-the-art theory which incorporates electronic relaxation explicitly. An additional important consideration in the solid state is the impact of bulk magnetic susceptibility effects on the form of the spectrum, where we include some ideas from the field of classical electrodynamics. We then continue by describing in detail the solution and solid-state NMR methods that have been deployed in the study of paramagnetic systems in chemistry, biology, and the materials sciences. Finally we describe a number of case studies in paramagnetic NMR that have been specifically chosen to highlight how the theory in part one, and the methods in part two, can be used in practice. The systems chosen include small organometallic complexes in solution, solid battery electrode materials, metalloproteins in both solution and the solid state, systems containing lanthanide ions, and multi-component materials used in pharmaceutical controlled-release formulations that have been doped with paramagnetic species to measure the component domain sizes.

Abstract
Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) experiments were performed for deuterated and non-deuterated triphenylbismuth (BiPh3) to inquire into 209Bi relaxation mechanisms. The studies are motivated by the idea of exploiting Quadrupole Relaxation Enhancement (QRE) as a novel contrast mechanism for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. From this perspective relaxation features of nuclei possessing quadrupole moment (quadrupole nuclei) are of primary importance for the contrast effect. Spin-spin relaxation rates associated with the NQR lines were described in terms of the Redfield relaxation theory assuming that the relaxation is caused by fluctuations of the electric field gradient tensor at the position of the quadrupole nucleus that are described by an exponential correlation function. The description referred to as a model-free approach is an analogy of the description used for paramagnetic contrast agents. It was demonstrated that for the deuterated compound this approach captures the essential features of 209Bi relaxation, but it should not be applied for non-deuterated compounds as dipolar interactions between neighbouring protons and the quadrupole nucleus considerably contribute to the relaxation of the last one. Thus, the relaxation scenario for species containing quadrupole nuclei is fundamentally different than for paramagnetic contrast agents and this fact has to be taken into account when predicting contrast effects based on QRE.

Abstract
Lanthanide ions accelerate nuclear spin relaxation by two primary mechanisms: dipolar and Curie. Both are commonly assumed to depend on the length of the lanthanide-nucleus vector, but not on its direction. Here we show experimentally that this is wrong - careful proton relaxation data analysis in a series of isostructural lanthanide complexes (Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) reveals angular dependence in both Curie and dipolar relaxation. The reasons are: (a) that magnetic susceptibility anisotropy can be of the same order of magnitude as the isotropic part (contradicting the unstated assumption in Guéron's theory of the Curie relaxation process), and (b) that zero-field splitting can be much stronger than the electron Zeeman interaction (Bloembergen's original theory of the lanthanide-induced dipolar relaxation process makes the opposite assumption). These factors go beyond the well researched cross-correlation effects; they alter the relaxation theory treatment and make strong angular dependencies appear in the nuclear spin relaxation rates. Those dependencies are impossible to ignore - this is now demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally, and suggests that a major revision is needed of the way lanthanide-induced relaxation data are used in structural biology.

Abstract
In the context of neurologic disorders, dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI provide valuable insights into cerebral vascular function, integrity, and architecture. Even after two decades of use, these modalities continue to evolve as their biophysical and kinetic basis is better understood, with improvements in pulse sequences and accelerated imaging techniques and through application of more robust and automated data analysis strategies. Here, we systematically review each of these elements, with a focus on how their integration improves kinetic parameter accuracy and the development of new hemodynamic biomarkers that provide sub-voxel sensitivity (e.g., capillary transit time and flow heterogeneity). Regarding contrast mechanisms, we discuss the dipole-dipole interactions and susceptibility effects that give rise to simultaneous T1, T2 and T2∗ relaxation effects, including their quantification, influence on pulse sequence parameter optimization, and use in methods such as vessel size and vessel architectural imaging. The application of technologic advancements, such as parallel imaging, simultaneous multi-slice, undersampled k-space acquisitions, and sliding window strategies, enables improved spatial and/or temporal resolution of DSC and DCE acquisitions. Such acceleration techniques have also enabled the implementation of, clinically feasible, simultaneous multi-echo spin- and gradient echo acquisitions, providing more comprehensive and quantitative interrogation of T1, T2 and T2∗ changes. Characterizing these relaxation rate changes through different post-processing options allows for the quantification of hemodynamics and vascular permeability. The application of different biophysical models provides insight into traditional hemodynamic parameters (e.g., cerebral blood volume) and more advanced parameters (e.g., capillary transit time heterogeneity). We provide insight into the appropriate selection of biophysical models and the necessary post-processing steps to ensure reliable measurements while minimizing potential sources of error. We show representative examples of advanced DSC- and DCE-MRI methods applied to pathologic conditions affecting the cerebral microcirculation, including brain tumors, stroke, aging, and multiple sclerosis. The maturation and standardization of conventional DSC- and DCE-MRI techniques has enabled their increased integration into clinical practice and use in clinical trials, which has, in turn, spurred renewed interest in their technological and biophysical development, paving the way towards a more comprehensive assessment of cerebral hemodynamics.

Abstract
Field-cycling NMR relaxometry is a well-established technique for probing molecular dynamics in a frequency range from typically a few kHz up to several tens of MHz. For the interpretation of relaxometry data, it is quite often assumed that the spin-lattice relaxation process is of an intra-molecular nature so that rotational fluctuations dominate. However, dipolar interactions as the main type of couplings between protons and other dipolar species without quadrupole moments can imply appreciable inter-molecular contributions. These fluctuate due to translational displacements and to a lesser degree also by rotational reorientations in the short-range limit. The analysis of the inter-molecular proton spin-lattice relaxation rate thus permits one to evaluate self-diffusion variables such as the diffusion coefficient or the mean square displacement on a time scale from nanoseconds to several hundreds of microseconds. Numerous applications to solvents, plastic crystals and polymers will be reviewed. The technique is of particular interest for polymer dynamics since inter-molecular spin-lattice relaxation diffusometry bridges the time scales of quasi-elastic neutron scattering and field-gradient NMR diffusometry. This is just the range where model-specific intra-coil mechanisms are assumed to occur. They are expected to reveal themselves by characteristic power laws for the time-dependence of the mean-square segment displacement. These can be favorably tested on this basis. Results reported in the literature will be compared with theoretical predictions. On the other hand, there is a second way for translational diffusion phenomena to affect the spin-lattice relaxation dispersion. If rotational diffusion of molecules is restricted, translational diffusion properties can be deduced even from molecular reorientation dynamics detected by intra-molecular spin-lattice relaxation. This sort of scenario will be relevant for adsorbates on surfaces or polymer segments under entanglement and chain connectivity constraints. Under such conditions, reorientations will be correlated with translational displacements leading to the so-called RMTD relaxation process (reorientation mediated by translational displacements). Applications to porous glasses, protein solutions, lipid bilayers, and clays will be discussed. Finally, we will address the intriguing fact that the various time limits of the segment mean-square displacement of polymers in some cases perfectly reproduce predictions of the tube/reptation model whereas the reorientation dynamics suggests strongly deviating power laws.

Abstract
The zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameters of the [Mn(EDTA)(H2O)](2-)·2H2O and [Mn(MeNO2A)(H2O)]·2H2O systems were estimated by using DFT and ab initio CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations (EDTA = 2,2',2″,2‴-(ethane-1,2-diylbis(azanetriyl))tetraacetate; MeNO2A = 2,2'-(7-methyl-1,4,7-triazonane-1,4-diyl)diacetate). Subsequent molecular dynamics calculations performed within the atom-centered density matrix propagation (ADMP) approach provided access to the transient and static ZFS parameters, as well as to the correlation time of the transient ZFS. The calculated ZFS parameters present a reasonable agreement with the experimental values obtained from the analysis of (1)H relaxation data. The correlation times calculated for the two systems investigated turned out to be very short (τc ∼ 0.02-0.05 ps), which shows that the transient ZFS is modulated by molecular vibrations. On the contrary, the static ZFS is modulated by the rotation of the complexes in solution, which for the small complexes investigated here is characterized by rotational correlation times of τR ∼ 35-60 ps. As a result, electron spin relaxation in small Mn(2+) complexes is dominated by the static ZFS.

Abstract
Manganese oxide nanoparticles (MONs) have received growing attention as alternative T 1 MRI contrast agents due to the association of commercial gadolinium-based contrast agents with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. Since the seminal publication first describing the use of MONs as positive T 1 contrast agents, there is an ongoing impetus to develop MONs of higher T 1 signal intensity for better diagnostic efficacy. Indeed, various MON-based nanoprobe designs have been proposed, such as the employment of a mesoporous nanomaterial with MONs evenly dispersed within, or the traditional coating of a biocompatible layer onto the surface of MONs to form a core-shell configuration. Recent advances in this field also propose stimuli-responsive MONs that capitalize on an acidic dissolution or in situ reduction to release Mn2+ ions for a multi-fold increase in MRI contrast. However, the potential nanotoxicity of MONs remains a key obstacle to the clinical translation of MON-based T 1 contrast agents. Due to the wide variety of functionalities and physicochemical properties of MONs, there is also a lack of consensus on the toxicological properties of MONs. In addition, the r 1 relaxivity of MRI contrast agents typically decreases at higher field strength. Hence, it highlights the need to develop MON-based contrast agents with higher relaxivities. In this regard, this article aims to present a thorough review of MONs for MRI applications, with particular emphasis on their relaxivity and toxicological properties. In order to systematically review the current state-of-the-art for the development of MONs for MRI applications, the MON-based T 1 contrast agents are categorized based on the structure of the nanomaterial system. Key parameters that influence the nanotoxicity of MONs are also examined while the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of MON in vivo are evaluated to discern how long the nanoparticles will be present within the body, as well as to predict the organs or tissues in which they distribute.

Abstract
For slowly tumbling entities or quasi-rigid lattices, we derive very simple analytical expressions of the quadrupole relaxation enhancement (QRE) of the longitudinal relaxation rate R1 of nuclear spins I due to their intramolecular magnetic dipolar coupling with quadrupole nuclei of arbitrary spins S ≥ 1. These expressions are obtained by using the adiabatic approximation for evaluating the time evolution operator of the quantum states of the quadrupole nuclei S. They are valid when the gyromagnetic ratio of the spin S is much smaller than that of the spin I. The theory predicts quadrupole resonant peaks in the dispersion curve of R1 vs magnetic field. The number, positions, relative intensities, Lorentzian shapes, and widths of these peaks are explained in terms of the following properties: the magnitude of the quadrupole Hamiltonian and the asymmetry parameter of the electric field gradient (EFG) acting on the spin S, the S-I inter-spin orientation with respect to the EFG principal axes, the rotational correlation time of the entity carrying the S-I pair, and/or the proper relaxation time of the spin S. The theory is first applied to protein amide protons undergoing dipolar coupling with fast-relaxing quadrupole (14)N nuclei and mediating the QRE to the observed bulk water protons. The theoretical QRE agrees well with its experimental counterpart for various systems such as bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and cartilages. The anomalous behaviour of the relaxation rate of protons in synthetic aluminium silicate imogolite nano-tubes due to the QRE of (27)Al (S = 5/2) nuclei is also explained.

Abstract
Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation Dispersion (NMRD) experiments are reported for propylene glycol solutions of the nitroxide radical: 4-oxo-TEMPO-d16 containing (15)N and (14)N isotopes. The NMRD experiments refer to (1)H spin-lattice relaxation measurements in a broad frequency range (10 kHz-20 MHz). A joint analysis of the ESR and NMRD data is performed. The ESR lineshapes give access to the nitrogen hyperfine tensor components and the rotational correlation time of the paramagnetic molecule. The NMRD data are interpreted in terms of the theory of paramagnetic relaxation enhancement in solutions of nitroxide radicals, recently presented by Kruk et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 138, 124506 (2013)]. The theory includes the effect of the electron spin relaxation on the (1)H relaxation of the solvent. The (1)H relaxation is caused by dipole-dipole interactions between the electron spin of the radical and the proton spins of the solvent molecules. These interactions are modulated by three dynamic processes: relative translational dynamics of the involved molecules, molecular rotation, and electron spin relaxation. The sensitivity to rotation originates from the non-central positions of the interacting spin in the molecules. The electronic relaxation is assumed to stem from the electron spin-nitrogen spin hyperfine coupling, modulated by rotation of the radical molecule. For the interpretation of the NMRD data, we use the nitrogen hyperfine coupling tensor obtained from ESR and fit the other relevant parameters. The consistency of the unified analysis of ESR and NMRD, evaluated by the agreement between the rotational correlation times obtained from ESR and NMRD, respectively, and the agreement of the translation diffusion coefficients with literature values obtained for pure propylene glycol, is demonstrated to be satisfactory.

EPR assessment of protein sites for incorporation of Gd(III) MRI contrast labels. CONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING 2013; 8:252-64.

Abstract
We have engineered apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), a major protein constituent of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), to contain DOTA-chelated Gd(III) as an MRI contrast agent for the purpose of imaging reconstituted HDL (rHDL) biodistribution, metabolism and regulation in vivo. This protein contrast agent was obtained by attaching the thiol-reactive Gd[MTS-ADO3A] label at Cys residues replaced at four distinct positions (52, 55, 76 and 80) in apoA-I. MRI of infused mice previously showed that the Gd-labeled apoA-I migrates to both the liver and the kidney, the organs responsible for HDL catabolism; however, the contrast properties of apoA-I are superior when the ADO3A moiety is located at position 55, compared with the protein labeled at positions 52, 76 or 80. It is shown here that continuous wave X-band (9 GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is capable of detecting differences in the Gd(III) signal when comparing the labeled protein in the lipid-free with the rHDL state. Furthermore, the values of NMR relaxivity obtained for labeled variants in both the lipid-free and rHDL states correlate to the product of the X-band Gd(III) spectral width and the collision frequency between a nitroxide spin label and a polar relaxation agent. Consistent with its superior relaxivity measured by NMR, the rHDL-associated apoA-I containing the Gd[MTS-ADO3A] probe attached to position 55 displays favorable dynamic and water accessibility properties as determined by X-band EPR. While room temperature EPR requires >1 m m Gd(III)-labeled and only >10 µ m nitroxide-labeled protein to resolve the spectrum, the volume requirement is exceptionally low (~5 µl). Thus, X-band EPR provides a practical assessment for the suitability of imaging candidates containing the site-directed ADO3A contrast probe.

Abstract
(1)H spin-lattice relaxation rates in glycerol solutions of selected nitroxide radicals at temperatures between 200 K and 400 K were measured at 15 MHz and 25 MHz. The frequency and temperature conditions were chosen in such a way that the relaxation rates go through their maximum values and are affected by neither the electron spin relaxation nor the electron-nitrogen nucleus hyperfine coupling, so that the focus could be put on the mechanisms of motion. By comparison with (1)H spin-lattice relaxation results for pure glycerol, it has been demonstrated that the inter-molecular electron spin-proton spin dipole-dipole interactions are affected not only by relative translational motion of the solvent and solute molecules, but also by their rotational dynamics as the interacting spins are displaced from the molecular centers; the eccentricity effects are usually not taken into account. The (1)H relaxation data have been decomposed into translational and rotational contributions and their relative importance as a function of frequency and temperature discussed in detail. It has been demonstrated that neglecting the rotational effects on the inter-molecular interactions leads to non-realistic conclusions regarding the translational dynamics of the paramagnetic molecules.
