The potential of newly developed nanovesicles, named
dendrimersomes, as MRI reporters was investigated by
encapsulating the contrast agent Gadoteridol inside the
aqueous core or by incorporating a novel dendrimer
covalently conjugated to a Gd-complex into the vesicular
bilayered membrane. Due to the high membrane
permeability, longitudinal relaxivity of encapsulated
probes was subjected only to a limited quenching effect.
On the other hand, membrane-incorporated probes showed
higher relaxivity values that are typical of slowly
rotating Gd-chelates. Stability and imaging studies
suggested that dendrimersomes may have the potential to
act as efficient diagnostic/theranostic MRI agents.
