RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES.Gadolinium III texaphyrin (Gd [III] texaphyrin) complex, a new magnetic resonance imaging contrast (MRI) agent, was evaluated.METHODS.In vitro relaxivity (1.5 T) and stability studies (5% dextrose) were conducted. Subchronic toxicity (8 males, 8 females; 2-20 (µmol Gd (III) texaphyrin complex/kg body weight; 3 times per week for 3 weeks). Biodistribution and excretion studies were conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats; MRI studies were conducted in normal and tumor-bearing rats and rabbits.RESULTS.Relaxivity values were as follows: 1= 19 (µmol/L· sec)-1 and r2= 22 (µmol/L· sec)-1 The 21-day subchronic toxicity study revealed no abnormalities. The compound is stable. Biodistribution demonstrated liver uptake. Magnetic resonance imaging in normal (n= 34) and tumorbearing (n= 4) rats and normal (n= 8) and tumor-bearing (n= 19) rabbits revealed: significant (P<. 05) contrast enhancement of liver and kidney after 1-17 µmol/kg of Gd (III) texaphyrin complex. Gadolinium (III) texaphyrin complex (2.5 (µmol/kg) produced significant contrast enhancement of liver carcinomas in rabbits (n= 8). Thigh V2 carcinomas (n= 22) had selective (P<. 05) enhancement, 5 µmol/kg. In rat fibro-sarcomas (n= 4), 17 (µmol Gd (III) texaphyrin complex produced significant enhancement up to 24 hours.CONCLUSIONS.Gadolinium (III) texaphyrin complex appears to be an effective and safe MRI contrast agent.© Lippincott-Raven Publishers.Back to TopCurrent Issue Cover ImageNever Miss an IssueGet new journal Tables of Contents sent right to your email inboxGet New Issue AlertsBrowse Journal Content
