Abstract:
A new type of dendritic molecules Gd-DTPA-XDA-D1-Glc(OH), which work as a functionalized ligand coordinating gadolinium(III) ion at the center of their frameworks with two glucose moieties on the molecular surfaces, were readily synthesized with high yield. The structures were established by IR, (1)H, (13)C NMR, and mass spectral studies. Its bio-distribution patterns were evaluated on rats.
