摘要

This review focuses on exogenous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents that are responsive to enzyme activity. Enzymes can catalyze a change in water access, rotational tumbling time, the proximity of a F-19-labeled ligand, the aggregation state, the proton chemical-ex-change rate between the agent and water, or the chemical shift of F-19, P-31, C-13 or a labile H-1 of an agent, all of which can be used to detect enzyme activity. The variety of agents attests to the creativity in developing enzyme-responsive MRI contrast agents.
