About Gadoteric acid
Some technical information about this product: Gadoteric acid is a macrocycle-structured gadolinium-based MRI contrast agent. It is composed of the organic acid DOTA (1-tetraazacyclododecane-1-tetraacetic acid) used for its chelating properties, and gadolinium (Gd3+). As a paramagnetic molecule, gadoterate develops a magnetic moment when placed in a magnetic field. This magnetic moment enhances the relaxation rates of water protons in its vicinity, leading to an increase in signal intensity (brightness) of tissues.
More specifically, it reduces the T1 relaxation time (and to some extent the T2 and T2* relaxation times) in NMR, which is the source of its clinical utility. Increased signal brightness allows it to be used in imaging of blood vessels and of inflamed or diseased tissue where the blood vessels become 'leaky'. Gadoteric acid, as the FDA approved product Dotarem, is indicated for intravenous use with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in brain (intracranial), spine and associated tissues in adult and pediatric patients (2 years of age and older) to detect and visualize areas with disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and/or abnormal vascularity.

Gadoteric acid is a type of Diagnostic agents
Diagnostic agents are a crucial category of pharmaceutical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used in the field of medical diagnostics. These agents play a vital role in diagnosing various diseases and conditions by aiding in the visualization and identification of specific biomarkers or structures within the body.
Diagnostic agents encompass a wide range of substances, including contrast agents, radiopharmaceuticals, and imaging agents. Contrast agents are commonly used in medical imaging techniques such as X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) scans. They enhance the visibility of certain tissues or organs, allowing healthcare professionals to detect abnormalities more accurately.
Radiopharmaceuticals are another type of diagnostic agent that combines a radioactive component with a pharmaceutical compound. These agents emit radiation that can be detected by specialized imaging equipment, enabling the visualization of metabolic processes and the identification of abnormal cellular activity.
Imaging agents are designed to target specific molecular structures or biomarkers within the body. They can be used to detect and visualize specific proteins, enzymes, or receptors associated with certain diseases or conditions. By targeting these specific biomarkers, imaging agents provide valuable information about the presence, location, and extent of a disease, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Overall, diagnostic agents are essential tools in modern medicine, facilitating accurate and timely diagnoses. These pharmaceutical APIs enable healthcare professionals to identify and monitor diseases at an early stage, leading to better patient outcomes and improved treatment strategies.
