Hyperpolarization can increase the sensitivity of NMR/MRI experiments, but the primary limitation is the T(1) decay of magnetization. Due to its long T(1), the hyperpolarized (89)Y nucleus makes an excellent candidate as an in vivo spectroscopy/imaging probe. Here we report the (89)Y chemical shift dependence upon pH for two hyperpolarized (89)Y(III) complexes and demonstrate how such complexes can be used as sensitive spectroscopy/imaging agents to measure pH.

Hyperpolarization stands out as a technique capable of significantly enhancing the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), among various hyperpolarization methods, has gained prominence for its efficacy in real-time monitoring of metabolism and physiology. By administering a hyperpolarized substrate through dissolution DNP (dDNP), the biodistribution and metabolic changes of the DNP agent can be visualized spatiotemporally.

Yttrium (III) complexes are interesting due to the similarity of their chemistry with gadolinium complexes that are used as contrast agents in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy or imaging (MRI). While most of the paramagnetic Gd-based MRI contrast agents are T or T relaxation-based sensors such as Gd-complexes for zinc or pH detection, a number of diamagnetic Y-complexes rely on changes in the chemical shift for potential quantitative MRI in biological milieu. Y, however, is a challenging nucleus to work with in conventional NMR or MRI due to its inherently low sensitivity and relatively long T relaxation time.

Nuclei with low gyromagnetic ratio (γ) present a serious sensitivity challenge for nulear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Recently, dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has shown great promise in overcoming this hurdle by indirect hyperpolarization (via H) of these low-γ nuclei. Here we show that at a magnetic field of 9.

Hyperpolarized (89)Y complexes are attractive NMR spectroscopy and MR imaging probes due to the exceptionally long spin-lattice relaxation time (T(1) ≈ 10 min) of the (89)Y nucleus. However, in vivo imaging of (89)Y has not yet been realized because of the low NMR signal enhancement levels previously achieved for this ultra low-γ(n) nucleus. Here, we report liquid-state (89)Y NMR signal enhancements over 60,000 times the thermal signal at 298 K in a 9.

Hyperpolarization by dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enhances (89)Y spin magnetization by 3 to 4 orders of magnitude and provides a way to monitor yttrium-ligand complexation "on the fly" by means of (89)Y NMR. In this communication, we show an example of free yttrium Y(3+) being complexed with 1,4,7,10-tetrakis(acetamido)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (DOTAM) to form [Y(DOTAM)(H(2)O)](3+) as a model for gadolinium in contrast agents.
