Contrast Enhancement Agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Gadopentetate dimeglumine was developed as a contrast agent for
diagnostic use in magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). Gadolinium is a rare earth element.
Its ion (Gd
+++
) has seven unpaired
electrons
and,
therefore,
shows
paramagnetic
properties.
Gd
+++
has a strong effect on the
hydrogen-proton spin-lattice relaxation time (T
1
), which causes the observed contrast enhancement
in MRI scans. By chelation of Gd
+++
with diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), a strongly
paramagnetic,
well-tolerated, stable complex (gadopentetate dimeglumine salt) is
obtained. The
paramagnetic efficacy at a magnetic field strength of 1.5 T and at
37°C, as indicated by the
relaxivity
(r
1
) (determined from the influence on the T
1
relaxation time of the water protons in plasma) and the
relaxivity (r
2
) (determined from the influence on the T
2
relaxation time),
is about 4.1 ± 0.2
L/(mmol•sec) and 4.6 ± 0.8 L/(mmol•sec), respectively.
The relaxivities
display only slight
dependency on the strength of the magnetic field.
The free gadolinium ion is unsuitable for clinical use due to high
toxicity; however, the metal
chelate is metabolically inert and does not display significant
inhibitory interaction
with enzymes
(e.g. acetylcholinesterase and lysozyme) at clinically relevant
con
