The synthesis and the characterization of a series of DTPA-bis(amide) conjugates of tranexamic acid (L1), its esters (L2–L6), and their Gd(III) complexes of the type [Gd(L)(H2O)]·nH2O (L = L1–L6) are described. Except for the case of L1, all Gd-complexes exhibit greatly enhanced R1 relaxivity. Highest R1 reaches up to 12.9 mM−1 s−1 for [Gd(L2)(H2O)]. Such high relaxivity is reflected in the intensity enhancement of the in vivoMRI study on H-ras transgenic mice bearing hepatic tumor when employing [Gd(L2)(H2O)] as an MRI contrast agent. Thermodynamic stability constants, conditional stability constants, and the pM values demonstrate higher stability of [Gd(L)(H2O)]·nH2O (L = L1–L6) than Omniscan® under physiological conditions. The MTT assay performed on these complexes reveals cytotoxicity as low as that for Omniscan® in the concentration range required to obtain intensity enhancement in the in vivoMRI study.
