Pyclen-based Gd complex with ionisable side-chain as a contrastophore for the design of hypersensitive MRI nanoprobes: Synthesis and relaxation studies

A straightforward method for synthesizing at the multigram scale a low molecular weight PCTA-based gadolinium complex bearing an ionizable oxyacetic chain on the pyridine unit was described, together with its encapsulation within a nanohydrogel matrix. The ionic gelation occurred between chitosan an...
