Spectrophotometric titrations and in vitro Zn challenge studies of [Mn(TE-4)] showed kinetic inertness with a rate of dissociation of 6.8 x 10-4 s-1, while [Mn(TE-1)]+ has a slower dissociation rate of 1.0 x 10-4 s-1 and a relaxivity of 3.6 mM -1 s-1 measured at 1.4 T magnetic field and 33 ºC. These Mn complexes were investigated by employing the 52Mn radioisotope, a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer, to probe kinetic inertness and stability in vivo. The Mn complexes of TE-1 and TE-4 exhibit different behavior in in vivo MRI studies given their different lipophilicity: [Mn(TE-4)] shows contrast enhancement in the kidney and bladder, indicating renal clearance, while the lipophilicity of [Mn(TE-1)]+ promotes a mixed biliary-renal excretion.
