In order to provide sufficient sensibility for detection, selection of an adequate payload of imaging probe is critical, during the design of MRI theranostic nanoplatforms. This fact is particularly crucial for in vivo applications in the brain, where delivery of macromolecules is limited by the blood-brain barrier. Here we report a simple and quick process for the estimation of adequate payloads of gadolinium in liposomes with potential to act as theranostic agents, for in vivo MRI applications in the brain. Our studies show that an excessive payload of gadolinium in liposomes may actually have a negative influence on in vivo T1 contrast. By preparing and characterizing 4 different liposomal compositions of increasing Gadolinium loads, we show that a superior sensitivity for in vivo detection of MRI theranostic molecules can be quickly improved by adjusting the payload of imaging probe in the molecules. FROM THE CLINICAL EDITOR: This team of authors report the development of a simple and quick process for the estimation of adequate payloads of gadolinium in liposomes as theranostic agents for in vivo brain MRI studies, using a rodent model.
