Mn-TCPP-CSn(n=6, 11, 20) as a type of potential magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) contrast agents were synthesizedviamanganese(II)meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin(Mn-TCPP) modified with chitosan oligosaccharides(CSn). Experimental data of infared(IR), UV-Vis, MS, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer(ICP-AES) and size exclusion chromatography evidenced the formation of Mn-TCPP-CSn. The stability results show that Mn-TCPP-CSnin aqueous solution was stable enough to prevent Mn(II) ions from leaking. The magnetic propertiesin vitroindicate that Mn-TCPP-CS20possesses higher longitudinal relaxivity(r1=10.38 L·mmol−1·s−1) in aqueous solution than unmodified porphyrin Mn-TCPPNa4[manganese(II)meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin, tetrasodium salt](r1=5.10 L·mmol−1·s−1) and the commercial contrast agent Gd-DTPA(r1=4.05 L·mmol−1·s−1). The preliminaryT1-weighted flash image studiesin vitroshow that the contrast and the imaging signal of Mn-TCPP-CSnwere superior to those of Mn-TCPPNa4 and Gd-DTPA under the same conditions. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay shows that Mn-TCPP-CSnhas a good biocompatibility. In addition, the thermodynamical parameters(ΔH<0, ΔS<0, ΔG<0) of Mn-TCPP-CSnbound to bovine serum albumin(BSA) show that Mn-TCPP-CSncould bind to BSA spontaneously, where the binding complex was stabilized mainly by van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds. These results suggest that Mn-TCPP-CSnhave the advantage of becoming a potential MRI contrast agent.
