Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we have attempted to develop a new hyperpolarized sensing system utilizing a gated meso-space that can be loaded with a lot of hyperpolarized environmental-sensitive molecules. Meso-space is widely used in various fluorescence sensing systems utilizing environmental-sensitive fluorophores. To realize such sensing system, we have tried to explore environmental-sensitive hyperpolarized molecules for incorporating into a gated meso-space. We have found a promising signal molecule derived from [15N]glycine. It showed pH-dependent chemical shift change of its 15N nuclei. Moreover, it had a sufficient T1 value that was important parameter correlated with hyperpolarized lifetime. We expect that this finding would be valuable to develop a new sensing system in the field of hyperpolarized research.
