A Gadolinium DO3A Amide <i>m</i>-Phenyl Boronic Acid MRI Probe for Targeted Imaging of Sialated Solid Tumors

We developed a new probe, Gd-DO3A-Am-PBA, for imaging tumors. Our results showed active targeting of Gd-DO3A-Am-PBA to sialic acid (SA) moieties, with increased cellular labeling in vitro and enhanced tumor accumulation and retention in vivo, compared to the commercial Gadovist. The effectiveness of...
