Thanks to the understanding of the relationships between the residence lifetime τM of the coordinated water molecules to macrocyclic Gd-complexes and the rotational mobility τR of these structures, and according to the theory for paramagnetic relaxation, it is now possible to design macromolecular contrast agents with enhanced relaxivities by optimizing these two parameters through ligand structural modification. We succeeded in accelerating the water exchange rate by inducing steric compression around the water binding site, and by removing the amide function from the DOTA-AA ligand [1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid mono(p-aminoanilide)] (L) previously designed. This new ligand 10[2(1-oxo-1-p-propylthioureidophenylpropyl]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclodecane-1,4,7-tetraacetic acid (L1) was then covalently conjugated to API [O-(aminopropyl)inulin] to get the complex API-(GdL1)x with intent to slow down the rotational correlation time (τR) of the macromolecular complex. The evaluation of the longitudinal relaxivity at different magnetic fields and the study of the 17O-NMR at variable temperature of the low-molecular-weight compound (GdL1) showed a slight decrease of the τM value (τM310 =?331?ns vs. τM310 =?450?ns for the GdL complex). Consequently to the increase of the size of the API-(GdL1)x complex, the rotational correlation time becomes about 360 times longer compared to the monomeric GdL1 complex (τR?=?33,700?ps), which results in an enhanced proton relaxivity.

Towards addressing the knowledge gap of how bupropion interacts with the dopamine transporter (DAT) and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), a ligand was synthesized in which the chlorine of bupropion was isosterically replaced with an iodine and a photoreactive azide was added to the 4′-position of the aromatic ring. Analog (±)-3 (SADU-3-72) demonstrated modest DAT and α4β2 nAChR affinity. A radioiodinated version was shown to bind covalently to hDAT expressed in cultured cells and affinity-purified, lipid-reincorporated human α4β2 neuronal nAChRs. Co-incubation of (±)-[125I]-3 with non-radioactive (±)-bupropion or (-)-cocaine blocked labeling of these proteins. Compound (±)-[125I]-3 represents the first successful example of a DAT and nAChR photoaffinity ligand based on the bupropion scaffold. Such ligands are expected to assist in mapping bupropion-binding pockets within plasma membrane monoamine transporters and ligand-gated nAChR ion channels.
