We demonstrate the potential utility of spin crossover iron(ii) complexes as temperature-responsive paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (PARACEST) contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) thermometry.

In this communication, we report that protein remodeling processes, such as aggregation, unfolding and interaction with lipid membranes, may be investigated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) through the CEST mechanism.

A series of 18 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid amide (DOTAM)-alkyl derived complexes with selected late lanthanide(III) cations (Dy3+, Tb3+, and Tm3+) has been synthesized; their magnetic properties have been evaluated and compared to those derived from DOTAM. Peralkylation of cyclen with corresponding N-iodoacetyl amines was utilized as the key step in the synthesis. Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) spectra of the complexes have been acquired at 37 °C, revealing that Tm3+-derived DOTAM-alkyl complexes possess the most favorable properties as potential paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (PARACEST) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents.
