The extracellular class of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) is an essential tool for clinical diagnosis and disease management. In order to better understand the issues associated with GBCA administration and gadolinium retention and deposition in the human brain, the chemical properties of GBCAs such as relative thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities and their likelihood of forming gadolinium deposits in vivo will be reviewed. The chemical form of gadolinium causing the hyperintensity is an open question. On the basis of estimates of total gadolinium concentration present, it is highly unlikely that the intact chelate is causing the T1 hyperintensities observed in the human brain. Although it is possible that there is a water-soluble form of gadolinium that has high relaxitvity present, our experience indicates that the insoluble gadolinium-based agents/salts could have high relaxivities on the surface of the solid due to higher water access. This review assesses the safety of GBCAs from a chemical point of view based on their thermodynamic and kinetic properties, discusses how these properties influence in vivo behavior, and highlights some clinical implications regarding the development of future imaging agents.

Water-soluble proteins and enzymes of human brain were separated by vertical zone electrophoresis in starch gel. Fifteen bands of esterase activity were detected in brain. Various substrates and inhibitors were used in efforts to identify enzymes in addition to a comparison of the esterase pattern with patterns obtained from other human tissues. One zone, composed of four bands of acetylesterase activity, was found to be common to all the tissues investigated with the exception of serum. Two bands of cholinesterase and two bands of A-esterase activity were identified. The remaining bands, which were aliesterases possessing broad overlapping substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity, were electrophoretically different from those of other tissues. Observations on alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase were recorded for comparison with the data on esterases.
