Toxicity concerns related to Gd(III)-based MRI agents prompted an intensive research towards their replacement by complexes of essential Mn(II) ion. Here, we report a macrocyclic chelate, [Mn(PC2A-BP)], which possesses high thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness as well as remarkable relaxivity (r1p = 23.5 mM-1s-1, 20 MHz, 37 °C) in the presence of human serum albumin allowing a significant MRI signal intensity increase in the vasculature even at low dose (25 μmol/kg) of the complex.
