Gd3+-TPPS: a potential paramagnetic contrast agent in NMR imaging.
A water soluble paramagnetic metalloporphyrin containing Gd3+ as metal ion has been investigated by low resolution 1H NMR to evaluate the extent to which it alters the water proton relaxation times. The obtained results seem to indicate a potential usefulness of this complex as a paramagnetic contrast agent for NMR Imaging.
