Hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe molecular imaging technology has been working towards the detection of biochemically inactive supramolecular cage-molecules within a living mammalian model. The issue originates from the non-specific natural biodistribution of the biosensor molecules, which makes it difficult to precisely localize them within a living mammalian body using HP 129Xe MRI. We have previously identified cyclodextrin-based pseudorotaxanes and benzene-appended CB6 as conjugatable scaffolds for xenon biosensors; in this work, we introduce a third class of conjugatable scaffolds, with the hyperCEST detection of pillar[5]arene, a potential precursor to a large variety of targeted molecular imaging probes.
