General description

bis(16:0 PE)-DTPA (Gd) (bis(1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine)-N-N′-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (gadolinium salt)) is a lipidic gadolinium complex,[1] with four units of palmitic acid. The diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) is chelated to gadolinium ion.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Gadolinium (Gd) has magnetic moment property and is potent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid attached to phosphatidylethanolamine (DTPA-PE) conjugated with Gd to form vesicles or liposomes improves the relaxivity of the Gd-DTPA complex while imaging.[1] Targeted liposomes with Gd-DTPA (gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid) facilitate tumor visualization and imaging.[2]
