Glycoconjugates of gadolinium complexes for MRI applications
David A. Fulton, Elisa M. Elemento, Silvio Aime, Linda Chaabane, Mauro Botta and David Parker
Examples of C-4 symmetric, medium MW conjugates incorporating 12 glucose or galactose groups linked via four dendritic wedges to a central Gd complex have been characterised; their enhanced relaxivity is interpreted in terms of effective motional coupling and large contributions from second sphere water molecules.
