      Kálmán, Ferenc; Nagy, Viktória; Uzal-Varela, Rocío; Pérez-Lourido, Paulo; Esteban-Gómez, David; Garda, Zoltán; Pota, Kristof; Mezei, Roland; Pallier, Agnès; Tóth, Éva; Platas-Iglesias, Carlos; Tircsó, Gyula (MDPI, 2021-03-10)
      [Abstract] We report two macrocyclic ligands based on a 1,7-diaza-12-crown-4 platform functionalized with acetate (𝑡O2DO2A²⁻) or piperidineacetamide (𝑡O2DO2AMᴾⁱᵖ) pendant arms and a detailed characterization of the ...
    • In-depth study of a novel class of ditopic gadolinium(III)-based MRI probes sensitive to zwitterionic neurotransmitters 

      Toljic, Djordje; Platas-Iglesias, Carlos; Angelovski, Goran (Frontiers, 2019-07-24)
      [Abstract] The efficacy of Gd-based low-molecular weight ditopic MRI probes on binding zwitterionic neurotransmitters (ZNTs) relies on their structural compatibility. ZNTs are challenging biomarkers for monitoring chemical ...

      [Abstract] Three new bismacrocyclic Ln3+ chelates consisting of triamide derivatives of cyclen with glycine, methyl and tert-butyl substituents (L1–3, respectively) linked to an acyclic EGTA-derived calcium chelator were ...
    • The relationship between NMR chemical shifts of thermally polarized and hyperpolarized 89Y complexes and their solution structures 

      Xing, Yixun; Jindal, Ashish K.; Regueiro-Figueroa, Martín; Le Fur, Mariane; Kervarec, Nelly; Zhao, Piyu; Kovacs, Zoltan; Valencia, Laura; Pérez-Lourido, Paulo; Tripier, Raphaël; Esteban-Gómez, David; Platas-Iglesias, Carlos; Sherry, A. Dean (Wiley, 2016-11-07)
      [Abstract] Recently developed dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) technology offers the potential of increasing the NMR sensitivity of even rare nuclei for biological imaging applications. Hyperpolarized 89Y is an ideal ...
