| Abstract | Dendritic gadolinium chelates as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) have shown great potential in blood pool and tumor imaging due to their enhanced relaxivities (R1s), prolonged blood circulation time, and homogeneous pharmaceutical properties. However, the non-biodegradability of the currently used dendrimers causes long-term retention of toxic gadolinium ions, limiting their clinical applications. Herein, we report a facile synthesis of biodegradable polyester dendrimer-based CAs. The prepared dendritic CAs have nano-sized structures with the hydrodynamic diameters ranging from 2.8 to 8.6 nm, and show high R1s up to 11.7 mM−1 s−1, approximately 2.7 times that of a clinically used small molecule CA (Magnevist). They are slowly hydrolyzed at an acidic pH, but rapidly hydrolyzed at pH 7.4, especially in the presence of esterase. The in vivo evaluation indicates they not only provide much better MRI contrast enhancement than Magnevist, but also show minimal tissue retention of Gd, which is much lower than those of non-biodegradable CAs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
