Abstract
Formulation, polarization, and dissolution conditions were developed to obtain a stable hyperpolarized solution of [1-(13)C]-ethyl pyruvate. A maximum tolerated concentration and injection rate were determined, and (13)C spectroscopic imaging was used to compare the uptake of hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]-ethyl pyruvate relative to hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]-pyruvate into anesthetized rat brain. Hyperpolarized [1-(13)C]-ethyl pyruvate and [1-(13)C]-pyruvate metabolic imaging in normal brain is demonstrated and quantified in this feasibility and range-finding study.
