EP-647 is a serum albumin-targeted magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent comprising a GdDTPA (DTPA, diethylenetriaminepentaacetate) chelate for magnetic resonance signal generation linked via a phosphodiester to a substituted biphenyl for albumin targeting. Albumin binding and relaxivity are higher than the benchmark magnetic resonance angiographic agent MS-325. EP-647 binds primarily to a unique site on serum albumin that is different from the MS-325 site and the binding sites of other drugs.

Novel GdDTPA-like complexes bearing differently branched, highly hydrophilic, gluconyl moieties were synthesized to obtain high relaxivity agents (∼20 mM−1 s−1 at 25 °C) over a wide range of imaging fields (0.5–3 T).

The nuclear pharmacist works with a very specific group of drugs. These drugs generally exhibit no toxic effects and are used almost exclusively for diagnosis. In the past these have been the radioactive drugs used in nuclear medicine and the iodinated contrast agents used in radiology. However, with the advent of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), there is an additional class of drugs used in radiology, the magnetopharmaceuticals. These drugs are designed especially for increasing diagnostic sensitivity with MRI. This article is intended to provide topical insight into the basics of MRI and magnetopharmaceuticals.
