We report the synthesis of DO3A derivatives of 2,2&[prime]- diaminobiphenyl and their Gd complexes of the type [Gd(1)(H2O)]&[middot] xH2O (2a, b)for use as new MRI blood-pool contrast agents that provide strong and prolonged vascular enhancement. Pharmacokinetic inertness of 2 compares well with that of structurally related Dotarem, a DOTA-based MRI CA currently in use. They show interaction with HSA to give association constants (Ka) in the order of two (102), revealing the existence of the blood-pool effect. The in-vivo MR images of mice obtained with 2 are coherent, showing strong signal enhancement in both heart, abdominal aorta, and small vessels.
