Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of magnetic resonance imaging technology, specifically relating to a class of PDA-modified cyclotinocyanine coordination compounds, their synthesis methods and applications, which amplify the sensitivity to Zn(II) response by changing the water exchange rate. Background Technology
[0002] Divalent zinc (Zn(II)) is abundant in mammalian tissues. As the second most abundant transition metal, it plays a crucial role in the structure, catalysis, and signal transduction of cells. Almost all tissues require Zn(II) for signal transduction, with particularly high concentrations in the pancreas, prostate, and brain. In blood, it exists primarily in a protein-chelated form. Zn(II) is strictly regulated by various transporters, and imbalances in Zn(II) levels in these different tissues are associated with diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and prostate cancer. Therefore, the detection of Zn(II) levels in the body is valuable for disease diagnosis and treatment.
[0003] For over two decades, researchers have focused on developing and researching various optical instruments and detection methods for detecting free Zn(II) ions, such as the common atomic absorption spectrometry, spectrophotometry, and fluorescence spectroscopy. While these methods have garnered significant attention due to their high selectivity and ease of use, their applicability to in vivo Zn(II) level monitoring is limited. Therefore, optical detectors are largely unable to detect Zn(II) content at the cellular level. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become a method for physiological imaging of in vivo tissues because it is not affected by tissue penetration. However, MRI itself has lower sensitivity than optical imaging, requiring indirect detection via abundant water protons. The resolution of MRI images is primarily related to the water content within the tissue. However, in some organs and tissues within the human body, the difference in water molecule content between them and diseased tissues is not significant. Therefore, contrast agents (CA) are needed to alter the relaxation rate of water protons in local tissues, thereby improving the imaging contrast between diseased and normal areas.
[0004] When a contrast agent (CA) enters the body, both T1 and T2 are altered. However, different contrast agents have different effects. Some contrast agents primarily shorten T2, making the lesion appear darker; these are called T2 contrast agents, also known as negative contrast agents. These include ferromagnetic and supermagnetic contrast agents, according to the Swift-Connick equation. It can be seen that the factors affecting T2 include: the chemical shift of bound water (Δω) and the exchange rate of water molecules (K). exThe magnetic field strength (B0) is the only variable in T2 contrast agents, where the exchange rate of water molecules is the only variable. Therefore, the imaging effect of T2 can be affected by changing the exchange rate of water molecules. Similarly, contrast agents that shorten T1 and make the lesion brighter are called T1 contrast agents, also known as positive contrast agents. Clinically, T1 contrast agents are commonly used, while T2 contrast agents are rarely reported. However, the effect of T1 contrast agents inevitably varies with concentration, so the development of T2 contrast agents is receiving increasing attention. Dysprosium-based contrast agents are gradually entering the research field due to their stability and low toxicity. These contrast agents themselves do not produce signals; they achieve the imaging effect by changing the relaxation time of surrounding water molecules.
[0005] The N,N-di(2-pyridinemethyl)ethylenediamine structure is closely related to Zn(II), and its role as a specific recognition site for zinc ions has been extensively studied. For example, Gd-DOTA-diBPEN designed by Sherry et al. cannot bind to HSA (human serum albumin) in the absence of Zn(II), but it readily binds to HSA in the presence of Zn(II), effectively increasing the rotation-related time (T0). R This greatly increases relaxation efficiency.
[0006] In summary, a T-based 2ex It is essential to use highly sensitive and highly responsive DPA-modified Zn(II)-responsive contrast agents for early imaging diagnosis of diseases with Zn(II) imbalance, such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and prostate cancer. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Based on the aforementioned prior art, this invention provides a class of PDA-modified cyclopentadiene coordination compounds, their synthesis methods, and applications. These coordination compounds possess the ability to amplify Zn(II) signals; that is, in normal tissues, the compound itself does not emit an MRI signal, but in tissues where Zn(II) is distributed, the compound can easily bind to HSA, thereby detecting and amplifying the Zn(II) signal. These coordination compounds exhibit high responsiveness and sensitivity to Zn(II) detection and can be used as MRI probes for detecting Zn(II) in living cells, suitable for TLC of Zn(II) in tumor or diseased tissues. 2ex In fields such as imaging and detection.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0045] 1. The coordination compound of the present invention contains an N,N-di(2-pyridinemethyl)ethylenediamine structure. In tissues where Zn(II) is distributed, the N,N-di(2-pyridinemethyl)ethylenediamine structure can easily bind with HSA. At the same time, Zn(II) can form coordination bonds with the two pyridine structures on the N,N-di(2-pyridinemethyl)ethylenediamine structure. The presence of HSA and Zn(II) will change the relaxation environment of the dysprosium coordination compound, causing the dysprosium coordination compound r2 to change, thereby detecting and amplifying the signal of Zn(II), thus realizing signal amplification and detection in specific tissues, especially in regions of Zn(II) imbalance.
[0046] 2. The series of coordination compounds of the present invention are linked with different numbers of glycine, resulting in different water molecule exchange rates. The T value of the contrast agent is determined by testing the magnitude of the change in its transverse relaxation. 2exImaging effect. Due to the uneven distribution of Zn(II) in various tissues, existing detection methods are prone to misjudgment, as the molar relaxation rate changes with increasing concentration. Therefore, by simultaneously detecting r1 and r2 and then comparing them, the r2 / r1 ratio is used to represent the change in r2, thereby determining T. 2ex This new quantitative method is particularly important for changes in Zn(II) under conditions that produce abnormalities, such as cancer and diabetes.
[0047] 3. The coordination compounds of the present invention have good biocompatibility and excellent water dispersibility, making them suitable for in vivo MRI and promising for early diagnosis of diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and prostate cancer.
[0048] 4. The coordination compounds of the present invention are simple, the raw materials are cheap and readily available, the synthesis conditions are relatively simple, and the synthesis cost is relatively low. Attached Figure Description
