Funded Activity Summary
Mitochondrial targeting by a new class of gadolinium agents. This research project will lead to the development of new molecular agents containing the element gadolinium which can selectively accumulate within cell mitochondria, with a long-term application in cutting-edge therapies involving X-rays or neutrons. The lanthanoid element gadolinium offers many unique opportunities for medicinal chemistry and this project will generate new knowledge in bioinorganic chemistry and synchrotron science. The expected outcomes of this research will address many of the unresolved questions regarding mitochondrially-targeted gadolinium complexes, the first such agents specifically designed for potential long-term application in binary therapies and imaging.Funded Activity Details
