Synthesis of a New Porphyrin Dendrimer and its Potential Use as a Gadolinium MRI Agent

A new porphyrin dendrimer was synthesized and characterized by reacting 4,4’,4’’,4’’’-(Porphine-5,10,15,20-tetrayl)tetrakis(benzoic acid) with a generation two (G2) dendrimer. Its coordination with lanthanides and gadolinium were investigated for its potential use as an MRI agent or as a new dendrimer-metalloporphyrin complex.
