Porphyrin compounds useful in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as contrast agents. The compounds are relatively lipophilic porphyrins, include one or more enzyme-reactive functional groups, and are cell membrane permeable. Relatively lipophilic group(s) can be enzymatically released within a cell to produce a relatively hydrophilic porphyrin compound.
