Synopsis

Parahydrogen (pH2) and Synthesis Amid the Magnet Bore Allow Dramatically Enhanced Nuclear Alignment (SAMBADENA) and have recently enabled hyperpolarization (HP) of 13C and subsequent in vivo administration of the produced contrast agent inside an MRI system. pH2 Induced Polarization (PHIP) by Side-Arm Hydrogenation (PHIP-SAH) has extended the portfolio of PHIP agents to metabolically-active molecules such as acetate, lactate, and pyruvate, but typically requires hydrogenation in organic solvents like chloroform. Here we present our new, solvent-compatible SAMBADENA setup and preliminary results of the 13C HP in chloroform of the PHIP-SAH molecule cinnamyl-pyruvate – opening the pathway towards metabolic studies with SAMBADENA.
