Nanocarriers designed for imaging are becoming a
powerful tool in oncology, allowing not only tumor
detection but also assessment of tumor blood vessel
permeability. Liposomes loaded with non-metallic diaCEST
MR agents enable evaluation of the efficacy of tumor
targeting. Recently a new family of CEST agents was
reported, i.e., salicylic acid (SA) and analogues, which
contain labile protons with large resonance shifts from
water. We developed a series of SA-analogue liposomes
for CEST MRI. Of these, 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid, a
fruit metabolite, showed the best liposomal retention
(>40%) in vitro and also in vivo in mice bearing B16
melanomas, namely 3% CEST contrast.
