Abstract
The invention relates to magnetic resonance imaging agents comprising a paramagnetic metal ion bound to a complex wherein said complex comprises a chelator and a blocking moiety convalently attached to said chelator which binds in at least a first coordination site of said metal ion and which is capable of interacting with a target substance such that the exchange of water in at least said first coordination site is increased.
