Abstract
We report the synthesis of a novel, versatile and easily accessible metal chelator, DO3A-N-alpha-aminopropionate, and the relaxometric characterization of its Gd(3+) complex, revealing great potential for the development of high relaxivity targeted contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging.
