Four Gadolinium⋅DTPA complexes bearing long lipophilic alkyl chains were synthesized: two bis[amide] and two 4-substituted derivatives. In two of them (one bis[amide] and one 4-substituted), the alkyl chain ends with a carboxylate function. Their relaxometric properties in H₂O show the self aggregation of Gd⋅DTPA-BdodecylAmide, the better stability of the 4-substituted derivatives vs. Zn transmetallation, and the very good stability of Gd⋅(4-(carboxyundecylisothiourea-Bz)DTPA). Amongst the four compounds, only Gd⋅(4-(carboxyundecylisothiourea-Bz)DTPA) shows a strong interaction with human serum albumin (HSA) as demonstrated by proton relaxometry and ESI mass spectrometry. These data highlight the importance of the negative charge on the alkyl chain in the context of the interaction of Gd⋅(4-substituted DTPA) derivatives with HSA.

D056831 Coordination Complexes Neutral or negatively charged ligands bonded to metal cations or neutral atoms. The number of ligand atoms to which the metal center is directly bonded is the metal cation's coordination number, and this number is always greater than the regular valence or oxidation number of the metal. A coordination complex can be negative, neutral, or positively charged. Metal Complexes,Complexes, Coordination,Complexes, Metal

D021241 Spectrometry, Mass, Electrospray Ionization A mass spectrometry technique used for analysis of nonvolatile compounds such as proteins and macromolecules. The technique involves preparing electrically charged droplets from analyte molecules dissolved in solvent. The electrically charged droplets enter a vacuum chamber where the solvent is evaporated. Evaporation of solvent reduces the droplet size, thereby increasing the coulombic repulsion within the droplet. As the charged droplets get smaller, the excess charge within them causes them to disintegrate and release analyte molecules. The volatilized analyte molecules are then analyzed by mass spectrometry.
