摘要
We have prepared water-soluble gadolinium oxide nanoparticles that show potential as MRI contrast agents. The particles were built into the apoferritin cavity and have an average size of 5 nm. After seven days a loss of 5% of Gd was detected compared with the as-prepared samples; after that the Gd remained constant and stabilized inside the apoferritin, indicating that the apoferritin capsid acts as a Gd store, avoiding metal delivery and consequent toxicity. The NMR longitudinal and transverse relaxivities resulted about 10 and 70 times higher than the ones of clinically approved paramagnetic Gd-chelates, thus indicating the possible route for synthesizing a novel class of MRI contrast agents.
