This article discusses how the chemical structure influences inherent and in vivo stability toward dissociation, and how it affects important formulation properties. Current GBCAs can be divided into four different structural types (macrocyclic, linear, ionic, and nonionic) based on the chemistry of the chelating ligands whose primary purpose is to protect the body from dissociation of the relatively toxic Gd(3+) ion from the ligand. The relaxivity of each GBCAs depends on a variety of factors that are discussed in terms of both the existing agents and future molecular imaging agents under study by current researchers. GBCAs are unique among pharmaceuticals, being water proton relaxation catalysts whose effectiveness is characterized by a rate constant known as relaxivity. GBCAs primarily lower the T(1) in vivo to create higher signal in T(1)-weighted MRI scans where GBCAs are concentrated. To date, nine GBCAs have been commercialized for clinical use, primarily indicated in the central nervous system, vasculature, and whole body. Gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents (GBCAs) are by far the most commonly used. Gadolinium- based MRI contrast agents (GBCAs) are by far the most com- monly used. The contrast agents can be divided into positive agents (appearing bright on MRI) or negative agents (appearing dark on MRI). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents are phar- maceuticals used widely in MRI examinations. Contrast agents are used to enhance contrast in Magnetic Resonance images between tissues that otherwise would be difficult to differentiate.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents are pharmaceuticals used widely in MRI examinations. Gastrointestinal MRI contrast agents may be helpful in certain clinical scenarios in distinguishing bowel from intra-abdominal masses and normal organs. TD-NMR Contrast Agent Analysis The minispec Contrast Agent Analyzer is used to study the effect of pharmaceuticals known as MRI contrast agents on the NMR relaxation of protons in water or fat.
