It consists of the organic acid DOTA as a chelating agent, and gadolinium (Gd 3+), and is used in form of the meglumine salt (gadoterate meglumine). [4] [5] The paramagnetic property of gadoteric acid reduces the T1 relaxation time (and to some extent the T2 and T2* relaxation times) in MRI, which is the source of its clinical utility. Because ...
The spectrum of adverse drug reactions is greater with gadolinium-based contrast agents than with iodinated contrast agents (radiocontrast agents). [ 30 ] Gadolinium has been found to remain in the brain, heart muscle, kidney, liver, and other organs after one or more injections of a linear or macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agents, even ...
Gadopentetic acid, sold under the brand name Magnevist, is a gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent. [2]It is usually administered as a salt of a complex of gadolinium with DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentacetate) with the chemical formula A 2 [Gd(DTPA)(H 2 O)]; when cation A is the protonated form of the amino sugar meglumine the salt goes under the name "gadopentetate dimeglumine".
[5] [3] [1] [2] [8] Topical gels are more stable than creams and ointments, and can adhere well to the site of application. [5] [2] They form an occlusive layer on the application site that can act as a form of protection. [5] They can be washed off easily and are nontoxic due to their unique composition and structure.
In the form of the methylglucamine salt meglumine gadobenate or gadobenate dimeglumine , it is used as a gadolinium-based MRI contrast medium. [4] BOPTA is a derivative of DTPA in which one terminal carboxyl group, –C(O)OH is replaced by -C–O–CH 2 C 6 H 5. Thus gadobenic acid is closely related to gadopentetic acid.
Meglumine is a sugar alcohol derived from glucose that contains an amino group modification. It is often used as an excipient in pharmaceuticals [ 1 ] and in conjunction with iodinated compounds in contrast media such as diatrizoate meglumine , iothalamate meglumine , and iodipamide meglumine .
