“…Although these are often highly convenient and flexible, they also have disadvantages, such as the toxicity (22) of CdS-based fluorescent quantum dots and the ligand-lability of gold clusters (23,24), which is exacerbated in biological media (25). The use of glycosylated contrast agents, until now, has been limited to T 1 -type reagents that rely on water exchange in their inner coordination sphere (26)(27)(28)(29)(30). They bring with them disadvantages of low sensitivity and low avidity for carbohydrate-binding protein targets since they display low carbohydrate copy numbers (31).…”

Initial recruitment of leukocytes in inflammation associated with diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), ischemic stroke, and HIV-related dementia, takes place across intact, but activated brain endothelium. It is therefore undetectable to symptom-based diagnoses and cannot be observed by conventional imaging techniques, which rely on increased permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) in later stages of disease. Specific visualization of the early-activated cerebral endothelium would provide a powerful tool for the presymptomatic diagnosis of brain disease and evaluation of new therapies. Here, we present the design, construction and in vivo application of carbohydrate-functionalized nanoparticles that allow direct detection of endothelial markers E-/P-selectin (CD62E/CD62P) in acute inflammation. These first examples of MRI-visible glyconanoparticles display multiple copies of the natural complex glycan ligand of selectins. Their resulting sensitivity and binding selectivity has allowed acute detection of disease in mammals with beneficial implications for treatment of an expanding patient population suffering from neurological disease.

“…Chemically well-defined, mono disperse and characterized multivalent agents can be assembled by an alternative molecular design: the conjugation of dendrimeric-clustered carbohydrate bifunctional reagents through spacers to an MRI reporter group. Various Gd(III) complexes of the DTPA-and DOTA-type ligands, peripherally substituted with one or more targeting group(s) consisting of a clustered carbohydrate of variable valence, with different topologies (FiguRe 3), containing an increasing number of terminal galactosyl (Gal), lactosyl (Lac) or glycosyl (Glc) groups, have been synthesized and studied [31][32][33][34][35][36]. The ligands included various DOTA monoamide derivatives (FiguRe 4), with one (DOTAGal, DOTAGlc and DOTALac; 9), two (DOTAGal 2 , DOTAGlc 2 and DOTALac 2 ;10) or four (DOTAGal 4 ; 12) terminal sugar groups, one DOTA cis-bisamide derivative with two terminal sugar groups (DO2A(cis)Gal 2 ; 11) and DTPA bisamides with two (DTPAGal 2 and DTPALac 2 ; 13) or four (DTPAGal 4 ; 14) terminal sugar groups.…”

All dendrimeric sugar units were bound thioglycosidically, in order to prevent them from being cleaved off by enzymes [32][33][34][35]. The 1 H nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) profiles showed that the relaxivity increase of these compounds relative to the respective parent compounds without the sugar derivatives (Gd-DOTA; 2 and Gd-DTPA-BMA; 3) is much lower that that expected for their molecular weight increase [32,33].…”

Glycoconjugate Probes and Targets for Molecular Imaging Using Magnetic Resonance

Review Molecular recognition of sugar residues applied in molecular imagingMolecular imaging aims at probing the molecular abnormalities that are the basis of diseases rather than to image their effects [1]. An important prerequisite of this approach is the selection of appropriate markers of disease and of targeting vectors to recognize them. The latter can include low-molecular weight substrates for enzymes or high-molecular weight affinity ligands, such as monoclonal antibodies, hormone analogs and recombinant proteins. Of the three major classes of biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids and carbohydrates), the latter class is the least exploited in molecular imaging. However, a dense layer of glyco conjugates covers all cells and carbohydrate mediated cellular recognition plays an important role in nature, both in normal and malignant processes, such as cell-cell communication, infection, inflammation, metastasis and reproduction. As carriers of information, the carbohydrates have far greater potential than proteins and nucleic acids; three different nucleotides or amino acids can generate only six distinguishable structures, while over 1000 structures can be built up from three different monosaccharides [2]. This level of complexity is probably the reason for the fact that the exploration of these compounds in molecular imaging is lagging behind [3]. Recently, significant progress has been made in glycochemistry and glycobiology; for example, automated solid-phase synthesis of oligo saccharides has become possible [4], carbohydrate-based vaccines have been developed [5] and high-throughput methods have been designed for the screening of molecular interactions [6]. The exciting new developments in glycoscience are opening way for new challenges in exploring the full potential of carbohydrates in molecular imaging. Therefore, here we give an overview of the recent literature on the use of glycoconjugates either as probes or targets in molecular imaging using MRI.MRI contrast agents (CAs) are broadly described as positive or negative, depending on whether they give rise to a brightening or a darkening effect on the MR image, respectively. The positive or brightening effect predominantly relates to the longitudinal proton relaxation time (T 1 ) and the negative or darkening effect predominantly relates to the transverse proton relaxation time (T 2 ). To date, the majority of commercially available and clinically applied positive CAs are Gd 3+ complexes of the polyaminocarboxylates diethylene triamine pentacetic acid (DTPA) and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) (see FiguRe 1 for some typical examples) and negative CAs are various iron oxide particles. These agents are not actively targeting. The targeted CAs for application in molecular imaging that are currently under development and described below are generally based on compounds 1 (Gd-DTPA) and 2 (Gd-DOTA), as well as iron oxide nanoparticles.Glycoconjugate probes and targets for molecular imaging using magnetic resonanceRecently...

“…[10] We synthesized a DOTA derivative (2) functionalized with a pendant primary amine by following literature procedures. [11] The DOTA ligand was condensed with the activated NHS ester groups along the polymer backbone. Under the reaction conditions, the terminal dithioester derivative was cleaved to the primary thiol, as shown in Scheme 1.…”

To identify a rare (e.g., diseased or foreign) cell in a complex mixture, or to understand the proteomic complexity[1,2] of cells, one needs to be able to measure simultaneously and quantitatively a large number of proteins or other biomarkers that may be present in a complex sample. This is a difficult task and is beyond the reach of current capabilities. To address a problem of this complexity, we have begun to develop a high-sensitivity assay[3-6] based upon elemental tags that will enable the simultaneous measurement of many proteins in a single sample. The advantage of this approach lies in the large number of available elements and isotopes (potentially greater than 79) found in low abundance in biological systems, which will allow multiple tags to be used simultaneously. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is an ideal technique for detecting and quantifying these tags, as ICP-MS provides excellent resolution between the tag masses and an exceptional dynamic range (nine orders of magnitude). [7] This method allows one to overcome some of the limitations of currently available fluorescent tagging approaches.[8] These limitations arise from the spectral overlap of different dyes and the difficulty in measuring simultaneously targets that differ in abundance
