Résumé

The search for more biocompatible alternatives to Gd -based MRI agents, and the interest in Mn for PET imaging call for ligands that form inert Mn chelates. Given the labile nature of Mn , high inertness is challenging to achieve. The strongly preorganized structure of the 2,4-pyridyl-disubstituted bispidol ligand L endows its Mn complex with exceptional kinetic inertness. Indeed, MnL did not show any dissociation for 140 days in the presence of 50 equiv. of Zn (37 °C, pH 6), while recently reported potential MRI agents MnPyC3A and MnPC2A-EA have dissociation half-lives of 0.285 h and 54.4 h under similar conditions. In addition, the relaxivity of MnL (4.28 mm  s at 25 °C, 20 MHz) is remarkable for a monohydrated, small Mn chelate. In vivo MRI experiments in mice and determination of the tissue Mn content evidence rapid renal clearance of MnL . Additionally, L could be radiolabeled with Mn and the complex revealed good stability in biological media.
