Abstract

Specific contrast agents facilitate the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present work, a procedure for the synthesis of a potential MRI contrast agent based on PEGylated Gd2O3 particles is developed for conjugation to Amylovis®, a family of compounds that has shown a high affinity for the pathological structures present in AD. The products obtained were characterized by FT-IR, ICP, TGA, DLS and SEM. Amylovis-functionalized Gd2O3 particles showed a spherical morphology, with an average hydrodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm. These particles presented an adequate value of the ratio between the longitudinal (r1) and transversal (r2) relaxivities (r2/r1 = 2.4). This suggests that once these particles have a hydrodynamic diameter smaller than 200 nm, they could be used as a potential contrast agent for MRI.
