Many eukaryotic oxidoreductases induce oxidation and oligomerization of phenolic compounds. We have previously shown that horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) oligomerize gadolinium-containing magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agents (CAs) that bear 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) moieties.[1–4] Such oligomerization yields an increase of gadolinium relaxivity, that is, the ability of paramagnetic cations to shorten relaxation times of water protons. This observation suggests that overall relaxivity enhancement is a consequence of two factors: 1) a decrease in rotational-correlation time of gadolinium cations in oligomers; 2) specific accumulation at the reaction site as a result of attachment of oligomers to macromolecules (Scheme 1).[3, 5] However, the ability to catalyze the formation of oligomers from phenolic precursors is not limited exclusively to peroxidases. Tyrosinase (EC 1.14. 18.1), which we have previously suggested as an imaging marker protein, is a class 3 copper metalloenzyme that is able to bind dioxygen.[6–8] Since tyrosinase is expressed at high levels in many melanomas it is important to be able to image the catalytic activity of this enzyme in peripheral skin tumors as well as in deep tissues. It is well known that tyrosinase and related enzymes catalyze the hydroxylation of monophenols to ortho-diphenols with the subsequent formation of polymorphous polyphenolic biopolymers (melanins).[9–11] During melanogenesis tyrosinase generates ortho-quinones that engage in Michael addition of various nucleophiles; this results in reactive intermediates that give various melanins by secondary oxACHTUNGTRENNUNGiACHTUNGTRENNUNGdations.[10, 12–14] Due to structural similarities with acylated monophenols we anticipated that paramagnetic N-acylated tyramides would undergo transformations in tyrosinase-catalyzed reactions to give N-acyl dopamines (NADA), similar to the precursors in tyrosinase-induced cuticular sclerotization.[15] We investigated whether tyrosinase-mediated oligomerization of paramagnetic substrates, which in contrast to peroxidases does not require hydrogen peroxide, could be applied to the imaging of tyrosinase activity in vitro and in vivo.
