Item A Europium(Ⅲ)-Based PARACEST Agent for Sensing Singlet Oxygen by MRI(2013-04-04) Song, Bo; Wu, Yunkou; Yu, Mengxiao; Zhao, Piyu; Zhou, Chen; Kiefer, Garry E.; Sherry, A. Dean; Sherry, A. DeanA europium(Ⅲ) DOTA-tetraamide complex was designed as a MRI sensor of singlet oxygen (¹O₂). The water soluble, thermodynamically stable complex reacts rapidly with ¹O₂ to form an endoperoxide derivative that results in an ~3 ppm shift in the position of the Eu(Ⅲ)-bound water chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) peak. The potential of using this probe to detect accumulation of the endoperoxide derivative in biological media by ratiometric CEST imaging was demonstrated.;
