Manganese-based MRI contrast agents have recently attracted much attention as an alternative to Gd-based compounds. Various nanostructures have been proposed for potential applications in in vivo diagnostics and theranostics. This review is focused on the discussion of different types of Mn oxide-based nanoparticles (MnxOy NPs) obtained at the +2, +3 and +4 oxidation states for MRI, multimodal imaging or theranostic applications. These NPs show favorable magnetic properties, good biocompatibility, and an improved toxicity profile relative to Gd(III)-based nanosystems, showing that the Mn paramagnetic ions offer advantages for the next generation of nanoscale MRI and theranostic contrast agents. Their potential for enhancing relaxivity and MRI contrast effects is illustrated through discussion of selected examples published in the past decade. |
