Abstract:
A simple derivatisation of commercially available poly(ethylene-glycols) of different molecular weight followed by the reaction with the selected fluorinated organic molecule, perfluoro-tertbutanol, allowed an easy synthesis of several novel polymers of different fluorine content. The properties of the new materials as MRI agents were preliminarily investigated. In all cases a single 19F signal at NMR in deuterated chloroform and D2O was registered; for a few fluorinated polymeric candidates a good solubility in water was observed and MR imaging of the fluorinated polymer successfully provided images. Most interesting results were obtained with the sample of 1436 MW (24% fluorine content) that not only gave a spectrum with a single resonance line, but, most importantly, was tolerated in low doses when in vivo experiments on animals (mice) were conducted.
