Abstract: | A novel gadolinium complex, derived from Gd-DTPA (DTPA: diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) and sulfaphenazole, intended to be a potential MRI contrast agent and to interact with human serum albumin (HSA), was synthesized and characterized. Its relaxometric properties were evaluated in water, and its binding to HSA was investigated by three techniques: proton relaxation rate analysis, NMR diffusometry, and electrospray mass spectrometry. The complex has a higher relaxivity than the parent compound (r(1)=7.8s(-1)mM(-1) at 310K and 0.47T and 7.7s(-1)mM(-1) at 310K and 1.41T), a fast water exchange, and a very good stability versus zinc(II) transmetallation. All techniques agree with a high affinity of the complex for HSA, and competition experiments indicate that this contrast agent competes with ibuprofen for HSA. |
