The leakage of gadolinium ions (Gd) from commercial Gd-based contrast agents (GBCAs) in patients is currently the major safety concern in clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and the lack of task-specific GBCAs limits its usage in the early detection of disease and imaging of specific biological regions. Herein, ultrastable GBCAs were constructed via decorating chiral Gd-DOTA with a phenylic analogue to one of the pendent arms, and the stability constant was determined as high as 27.08, accompanied by negligible decomplexation in 1 M of HCl over 2 years. A hepatic-specific chiral Gd-DOTA was screened out as a potential alternative to commercial Gd-EOB-DTPA, while combination with functional molecules favored chiral Gd-DOTA as tumor targeting probes. Therefore, the novel chiral Gd-DOTA is believed to be an ideal platform for designing the next generation of GBCAs for various clinical purposes due to its outstanding inert nature.

Atherosclerosis-induced lethal cardiovascular disease remains a severe healthcare threat due to the limited drug efficiency and untimely prediction of high-risk events caused by inadequate target specificity of medications, incapable recognition of insensitive patients, and variable morphology of vulnerable plaques. Therefore, it is necessary to develop efficient strategies to improve the diagnosis accuracy and achieve visualized treatment of atherosclerosis. Herein, we establish an inflamed endothelium-targeted three-in-one nucleic acid nanogel system that can reverse the inflammatory state of endothelial cells (ECs) in plaques and simultaneously achieve real-time monitoring of the therapy process for efficient atherosclerosis diagnosis and treatment.

We used a very simplified electrostatic model based on charge and polarizability of atoms and groups on an organic ligand around a lanthanide ion to predict the near-infrared electronic circular dichroism (NIR ECD) spectra of Yb (a monoelectronic ion). We tuned our method by using two widely different complexes. The first was the heterobimetallic species CsYb(hfbc) [hfbc=(-)-3-heptafluorobutyrylcamphorate], in which the ligand is a diketonate and, as such, is endowed with a chromophore with strong UV absorption (π-π ).

We report the crystal structures of antibody 2D12.5 Fab bound to an yttrium-DOTA analogue and separately to a gadolinium-DOTA analogue. The rare earth elements have many useful properties as probes, and 2D12.
