The manganese(II) ion has many favorable properties that lead to its potential use as an MRI contrast agent: highspin number, long electronic relaxation time, labile water exchange. The present work describes the design, synthesis,and evaluation of a novel Mn(II) complex (MnL1) based on EDTA and also contains a moiety that noncovalentlybinds the complex to serum albumin, the same moiety used in the gadolinium based contrast agent MS-325.Ultrafiltration albumin binding measurements (0.1 mM, pH 7.4, 37 C) indicated that the complex binds well toplasma proteins (rabbit: 96 ± 2% bound, human: 93 ± 2% bound), and most likely to serum albumin (rabbit: 89± 2% bound, human 98 ± 2% bound). Observed relaxivities (± 5%) of the complex were measured (20 MHz, 37C, 0.1 mM, pH 7.4) in HEPES buffer (r1 = 5.8 mM-1 s-1), rabbit plasma (r1 = 51 mM-1 s-1), human plasma (r1= 46 mM-1 s-1), 4.5% rabbit serum albumin (r1 = 47 mM-1 s-1), and 4.5% human serum albumin (r1 = 48 mM-1s-1). The water exchange rate was near optimal for an MRI contrast agent (k298 = 2.3 ± 0.9 × 108 s-1). Variabletemperature NMRD profiles indicated that the high relaxivity was due to slow tumbling of the albumin-bound complexand fast exchange of the inner sphere water. The concept of a high relaxivity Mn(II)-based contrast agent wasvalidated by imaging at 1.5T. In a rabbit model of carotid artery injury, MnL1 clearly delineated both arteries andveins while also distinguishing between healthy tissue and regions of vessel damage.
