Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-surface modification can make nano-materials highly hydrophilic, reducing sequestration in the reticuloendothelial system. In this study, polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers bearing gadolinium chelates were PEGylated with different PEG-chain lengths and the effects on paramagnetic and pharmacokinetic properties were evaluated. Specifically, gadolinium chelate-bearing PAMAM dendrimers (G4 and G5) were conjugated with two different PEG chains (2k and 5k). Long PEG chains (5k) on the smaller (G4) dendrimer resulted in reduced relaxivity compared to unPEGylated dendrimer whereas short PEG (2k) and larger (G5) dendrimer produced comparable relaxivities to unPEGylated G4 dendrimer. The relaxivity of all PEGylated or lysine conjugated dendrimers increased at higher temperature, while that of intact G4 Gd-PAMAM-dendrimer decreased. All PEGylated dendrimers had minimal liver and kidney uptake and remained in circulation for at least 1 hour. Thus, surface-PEGylated Gd-PAMAM-Dendrimers showed decreased plasma clearance and prolonged retention in the blood pool. Shorter PEG, higher generation conjugates led higher relaxivity.
