We introduce a redox-active iron complex, Fe-PyC3A, as a biochemically responsive MRI contrast agent. Switching between Fe3+-PyC3A and Fe2+-PyC3A yields a full order of magnitude relaxivity change that is field-independent between 1.4 and 11.7 T. The oxidation of Fe2+-PyC3A to Fe3+-PyC3A by hydrogen peroxide is very rapid, and we capitalized on this behavior for the molecular imaging of acute inflammation, which is characterized by elevated levels of reactive oxygen species. Injection of Fe2+-PyC3A generates strong, selective contrast enhancement of inflamed pancreatic tissue in a mouse model (caerulein/LPS model). No significant signal enhancement is observed in normal pancreatic tissue (saline-treated mice). Importantly, signal enhancement of the inflamed pancreas correlates strongly and significantly with ex vivo quantitation of the pro-inflammatory biomarker myeloperoxidase. This is the first example of using metal ion redox for the MR imaging of pathologic change in vivo. Redox-active Fe3+/2+ complexes represent a new design paradigm for biochemically responsive MRI contrast agents.
