Bone-Seeking Probes for Optical and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract: In clinical practice the imaging of bone tissue is based almost exclusively on x-ray or radiochemical methods. Alternative methods, such as MRI and optical imaging, can provide not only anatomical, but also physiological information, due to their ability to reflect the properties of body fluids (temperature, pH and concentration of ions). In this article we review bone targeting probes for MRI and fluorescence imaging. As bone targeting is mainly associated with phosphonate and bisphosphonate derivatives, we a… Show more

“…Their high affinity to hydroxyapatite, which is the main inorganic component of bone tissue, provides extensive medical applications in the treatment of osteoporosis and other diseases of calcified tissues 4. The anchoring of BPs on the surface of titanium dioxide,57 iron oxides811 and many other inorganic materials has been employed in a broad range of academic and industrial applications 2,3,12,13. An important class of BPs are those that bear an amine group in the side chain.…”

“…A common feature of most bone-seeking agents is a strong affinity for metal cations. 13 For example, commercially available fluorescent dyes with Ca 2+ chelation ability have been used for several decades to stain samples of bone and teeth. 49 Typically, the dyes emit visible wavelengths, which is a limitation for in vivo studies due to poor penetration of visible light through skin and tissue.…”

“…27 In this report, we describe the preparation and evaluation of new squaraine rotaxane probes that are decorated with multiple iminodiacetate groups as the bone targeting units. Iminodiacetates have inherently lower bone affinity than bisphosphonates (Ca 2+ association constants) 1 but we reasoned that probe association could be enhanced by creating multivalent versions. In addition to commercial visible dyes with two iminodiacetate groups, such as the green emitting Calcein, there are previous reports of bone-seeking molecular probes with three or four iminodiacetate groups, 28, 29 but none of these literature compounds were tested in vivo.…”
