O-aminopropyl starch was prepared by Michael addition of acrylonitrile and subsequent reduction with freshly prepared cobalt boride and sodium borohydride. In a second approach, the aminopropyl group was introduced via Williamson etherification with N-phthalyl-protected 3-bromo-1-propylamine. The protecting group was removed by borohydride reduction and subsequent hydrolysis in acetic acid. The DS of all samples and the degree of reduction of the cyanoethyl groups were estimated from the 1H NMR spectra. Total monomer composition was determined after methanolysis or hydrolysis and trimethylsilylation by GLC and GCMS. While the regioselectivity in the thermodynamically controlled reaction was O-6 > O-2 > O-3 (50:37:13), the kinetically controlled process showed strongly preferred O-2-etherification (up to 94%) followed by O-6- and O-3-substitution. It could be influenced by choice of solvent (water, Me(2)SO) and base (NaOH, Li-dimsyl).

Thanks to the understanding of the relationships between the residence lifetime τ of the coordinated water molecules to macrocyclic Gd-complexes and the rotational mobility τ of these structures, and according to the theory for paramagnetic relaxation, it is now possible to design macromolecular contrast agents with enhanced relaxivities by optimizing these two parameters through ligand structural modification. We succeeded in accelerating the water exchange rate by inducing steric compression around the water binding site, and by removing the amide function from the DOTA-AA ligand [1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid mono(p-aminoanilide)] (L) previously designed. This new ligand 10[2(1-oxo-1-p-propylthioureidophenylpropyl]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclodecane-1,4,7-tetraacetic acid (L ) was then covalently conjugated to API [O-(aminopropyl)inulin] to get the complex API-(GdL )x with intent to slow down the rotational correlation time (τ ) of the macromolecular complex.

Reaction of DOTA-NCSA [1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid mono(p-isothiocyanatoanilide)] with O-(aminopropyl)inulin (degree of polymerization 25) provided a chelate that formed a kinetically extremely stable Gd(3+) complex. No transmetalation was observed with Zn(2+). The conjugate has a relaxivity of 21.

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has put forth an impetus for the development of macromolecular GdIII complexes that have a prolonged lifetime in the vascular system. Herein, we report the synthesis and GdIII complexation of a new sugar conjugate based on inulin and the DO3A ligand (DO3A = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan-1,4,7-triacetic acid). Two API-DO3ASQ conjugates (API = O-(aminopropyl)inulin, SQ = squaric acid = 3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione) with different degrees of substitution (ds = 0.

Inulin ethers carrying primary amino groups have many potential applications. O-(Aminopropyl)inulin is obtained from O-(cyanoethyl)inulin by reduction of the nitrile groups. Heterogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation using Raney-cobalt as the catalyst resulted in only partial conversion of the O-cyanoethyl into O-aminopropyl groups.
