This study compared a new iron oxide-based contrast agent, SPIONDex, with conventional contrast agents ferucarbotran and ferumoxytol. The results demonstrate that SPIONDex has better biocompatibility and immunocompatibility, and does not trigger allergic reactions. In a rat model, SPIONDex showed liver imaging properties comparable to the other two agents but with faster clearance. These findings suggest that SPIONDex is a promising candidate for further clinical translation.
Introduction: One of the major challenges in the clinical translation of nanoparticles is the development of formulations combining favorable efficacy and optimal safety. In the past, iron oxide nanoparticles have been introduced as an alternative for gadolinium-containing contrast agents; however, candidates available at the time were not free from adverse effects.Methods: Following the development of a potent iron oxide-based contrast agent SPIONDex, we now performed a systematic comparison of this formulation with the conventional contrast agent ferucarbotran and with ferumoxytol, taking into consideration their physicochemical characteristics, bio-and hemocompatibility in vitro and in vivo, as well as their liver imaging properties in rats.Results: The results demonstrated superior in vitro cyto-, hemo-and immunocompatibility of SPIONDex in comparison to the other two formulations. Intravenous administration of ferucarbotran or ferumoxytol induced strong complement activation-related pseu-doallergy in pigs. In contrast, SPIONDex did not elicit any hypersensitivity reactions in the experimental animals. In a rat model, comparable liver imaging properties, but a faster clearance was demonstrated for SPIONDex.Conclusion: The results indicate that SPIONDex possess an exceptional safety compared to the other two formulations, making them a promising candidate for further clinical translation.
