Abstract

The invention provides a paramagnetic metal complex functionalized fluorogold nano-cluster magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging contrast agent. The invention relates to the field of magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescence imaging contrast agents. With the contrast agent provided by the invention, problems of existing contrast agents of low relaxation efficiency, high toxicity, low tissue organ selectivity and fast in-vivo metabolism can be solved. According to the invention, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or diethylene triaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) are connected to folic-acid-modified bovine serum albumin fluorogold nano-clusters through amide bonds; and EDTA or DTPA is respectively coordinated with paramagnetic metal ions, such that the complex is obtained. With the contrast agent provided by the invention, the relaxation efficiency can reach 23.7mM<-1>*s<-1>. The contrast agent has an advantage of low toxicity. According to the invention, high spatial resolution of magnetic resonance imaging and high sensitivity of fluorescence imaging are combined. Therefore, the contrast agent provided by the invention can be used in magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescence imaging.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to magnetic resonance imaging and fluorescence imaging contrast agents, more specifically, to fluorescent gold nanocluster magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging contrast agents functionalized with paramagnetic metal complexes. Background technique [0002] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent is a kind of imaging enhancement contrast agent that can shorten imaging time, improve imaging contrast and clarity, it can change the relaxation rate of water protons in local tissues in the body, and improve Imaging contrast, thus revealing the functional status of internal organs. The most widely used contrast agent in clinical practice is (NMG) [Gd(DTPA)·H] approved by the German Health Bureau in 1988. 2 O] (trade name Magnevist). In addition, eight kinds of gadolinium complexes and one manganese complex have been approved for clinical application, which can be divided into ionic contrast agents such as Gd-DOTA (Journal...
