Long-lived 15 N Hyperpolarization and Rapid Relaxation as a Potential Basis for Repeated First Pass Perfusion Imaging - Marked Effects of Deuteration and Temperature.
Deuteration of the exchangeable hydrogens of [15 N2 ]urea was found to prolong the T1 of the 15 N sites to more than 3 min at physiological temperatures. This significant increase in the lifetime of the hyperpolarized state of [15 N2 ]urea, compared to [13 C]urea - a pre-clinically proven perfusion agent, makes [15 N2 ]urea a promising perfusion agent. The molecular parameters that may lead to this profound effect were assessed by investigating small molecules with different molecular structures containing 15 N sites bound to labile protons and determining the hyperpolarized 15 N T1 in H2 O and D2 O. Dissolution in D2 O led to marked prolongation for all of the selected sites. In whole human blood, the T1 of [15 N2 ]urea was shortened. We present a general strategy for exploiting the markedly longer T1 outside the body and the quick decay in blood for performing multiple hyperpolarized perfusion measurements with a single hyperpolarized dose. Improved storage of the generated [15 N2 ]urea polarization prior to the contact with the blood is demonstrated using higher temperatures due to further T1 prolongation.
