The design and synthesis of three 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7- triacetic acid (DO3A) derivatives bearing linkers with terminal thiol groups and a preliminary evaluation of their potential for use in assembling redox-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents are reported. The linkers were selected on the basis of computational docking with a crystal structure of human serum albumin (HSA). Gd(III)-DO3A and Eu(III)-DO3A complexes were synthesized, and the structure of one complex was established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The binding to HSA of a Gd(III)-DO3A complex bearing a thiol-terminated 3,6-dioxanonyl chain was competitively inhibited by homocysteine and by the corresponding Eu chelate. Binding to HSA was abolished when the terminal thiol group of this complex was absent. The longitudinal water-proton relaxivities (r1) of the three Gd(III)-DO3A complexes and of two Gd(III)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) complexes were measured in saline at 7 T. The DO3A complexes exhibited smaller r1 values, in both bound and free states, than the DOTA complexes.

Tuning affinities: Dynamic combinatorial chemistry has been employed to explore the effect of chemical modifications on the DNA G-quadruplex binding properties of anoxazole-based peptide macrocycle. Two dynamic libraries of molecules, containing cationic and carbohydrate motifs, respectively, were screened by using structurally diverse nucleic acid targets (see scheme; each colored shape represents a cation or carbohydrate).
