During fibroproliferation, protein-associated extracellular aldehydes are formed by the oxidation of lysine residues on extracellular matrix proteins to form the aldehyde allysine. Here we report three Mn(II)-based, small molecule magnetic resonance (MR) probes that contain α-effect nucleophiles to target allysine in vivo and report on tissue fibrogenesis. We used a rational design approach to develop turn-on probes with a 4-fold increase in relaxivity upon targeting. The effects of aldehyde condensation rate and hydrolysis kinetics on the performance of the probes to detect tissue fibrogenesis noninvasively in mouse models were evaluated by a systemic aldehyde tracking approach. We showed that for highly reversible ligations, off-rate was a stronger predictor of in vivo efficiency, enabling histologically validated, three-dimensional characterization of pulmonary fibrogenesis throughout the entire lung. The exclusive renal elimination of these probes allowed for rapid imaging of liver fibrosis. Reducing the hydrolysis rate by forming an oxime bond with allysine enabled delayed phase imaging of kidney fibrogenesis. The imaging efficacy of these probes, coupled with their rapid and complete elimination from the body, make them strong candidates for clinical translation. |
