The search for new MRI agents endowed with high relaxivity at the magnetic field strength of clinical scanners (1.5-3 T) is still receiving great attention from researchers involved in the development of new probes. Such Gd(iii) complexes should combine a

The present invention relates to a novel class of paramagnetic ion-based contrast agents of formula (I), wherein a chelating backbone moiety is highly functionalized by the presence of one or more polyhdroxylated chain, that show a pharmacokinetic profile analogous to that of the commonly used T1-general extravascular agents (NSA) but are further characterized by a higher relaxivity.
