Abstract

Nanoparticles consisting of either a solid core of GdF 3 or an 80/20 mixture of GdF 3 and LaF 3 have been prepared for use as NMR and MRI relaxation agents. To obtain high aqueous solubilities, the particles were coated with either citrate ( cit ) groups (in the case of GdF 3 nanoparticles), giving the nanoparticle a negatively charged surface, or 2-aminoethyl phosphate ( AEP ) groups (in the case of GdF 3 /LaF 3 = 80/20), giving the nanoparticle a positively charged surface at physiological pH. In the presence of the 80/20 GdF 3 /LaF 3: AEP, the paramagnetic contribution to the water spin−lattice relaxation rate was observed to be 7.5 s - 1 at a nanoparticle concentration of 9.0 nM (0.78 mg/mL, 25 °C, 600 MHz 1 H Larmor frequency). Similarly, paramagnetic rates of 10.5 s - 1 were observed for water using the GdF 3: cit nanoparticles at a nanoparticle concentration of 0.55 nM (0.77 mg/mL, 25 °C, 600 MHz 1 H Larmor frequency). Relaxivity measurements confirmed the potential of the particles for applications as contrast agents at MRI imaging field strengths. T 1 and T 2 experiments of the GdF 3: cit revealed mass relaxivities of 7.4 ± 0.2 and 8.4 ± 0.2 s - 1 (mg/mL) - 1, respectively, at 1.5 T, whereas identical measurements at 3.0 T revealed respective relaxivities of 8.8 ± 0.2 and 9.4 ± 0.2 s - 1 (mg/mL) - 1 . The relatively high mass relaxivities exhibited by the nanoparticles may also find uses in NMR studies in which spin−lattice relaxation times are prohibitively long, as in the case of highly deuterated proteins. Direct interaction with the protein can be minimized by the use of surface charges opposite to the net charge of the molecule, whereas the nanoparticles are easily removed by ultracentrifugation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
