High-resolution mapping of tumor redox status by magnetic resonance imaging using nitroxides as redox-sensitive contrast agents.
PURPOSE There is considerable research directed toward the identification and development of functional contrast agents for medical imaging that superimpose tissue biochemical/molecular information with anatomical structures. Nitroxide radicals were identified as in vivo radioprotectors. Being paramagnetic, they can provide image contrast in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electron paramag...
متن کاملProbing the intracellular redox status of tumors with magnetic resonance imaging and redox-sensitive contrast agents.
Nitroxide radicals are paramagnetic contrast agents, used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), that also exert antioxidant effects. Participating in cellular redox reactions, they lose their ability to provide contrast as a function of time after administration. In this study, the rate of contrast loss was correlated to the reducing power of the tissue or the "redox status." The preferential re...
متن کاملIn vivo evaluation of different alterations of redox status by studying pharmacokinetics of nitroxides using magnetic resonance techniques
Free radicals, particularly reactive oxygen species (ROS), are involved in various pathologies, injuries related to radiation, ischemia-reperfusion or ageing. Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to directly detect free radicals in vivo, but the redox status of the whole organism or particular organ can be studied in vivo by using magnetic resonance techniques (EPR and MRI) and paramagneti...
متن کاملmagnetic resonance imaging contrast agents: a review of literature
magnetic resonance imaging (mri) contrast agents most commonly agents used in diagnosing different diseases. several agents have been ever introduced with different peculiar characteristics. they vary in potency, adverse reaction and other specification, so it is important to select the proper agent in different situations. we conducted a systematic literature search in medline/pubmed, web of s...
