Abstract

[Display omitted] Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule involved in a wide range of biological processes. Development of non-invasive, real-time detection of NO is greatly desired yet remains challenging. Here we report the design and development of novel 15N- and 13C-labeled NO-sensing probes for hyperpolarized nuclear magnetic resonance (HP-NMR) studies. These probes undergo selective and rapid reaction with NO to generate in situ AZO-products that can be monitored with distinguishable NMR signals as a read-out. This study also allows for a direct comparison of the 15N and 13C nuclei performances in hyperpolarized reaction-based probes. The simple and general SABRE-SHEATH hyperpolarization method works on the 15N- and 13C-NO-sensing probes. Measured long spin–lattice relaxation (T1) values, especially for 15N-NO probes, will allow for real-time reaction-based imaging of NO.
