ABSTRACT
Cancer is one of the leading causes of human death worldwide, being one of the most serious problems faced by mankind. For the diagnosis, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), through effective contrast agents (Cas), has greatly helped in the diagnosis at the initial stages. However, it is necessary to include new compounds more effective and selective for cancer diagnosis. The complexes with Mn2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ have received great attention due to their applications as CAs for MRI. Those materials can shorten the T2 and T2* transverse relaxation times. Thus, the representative structures for hyperfine coupling constants (HFCCs) were selected from docking results by frequency of occupancy calculations. From the Multivariate Analysis to obtain the PCA graphs in the choice of a representative conformations. it is possible to notice that the variable energy does not present a high correlation with the other variables, and structural factors, such as the spatial positions of the metal atoms, seem to be important in the reactivity of the complexes. Structural factors, such as the spatial positions of the metal atoms, seem to be important in the reactivity of the complexes. Theoretical findings suggest that the compounds are capable of increasing the Aiso values of the water molecules, but the complex [Zn(H2O)(NNO)] shows a greater influence, being more sensitive to the Electron paramagnetic resonance parameters than the complexes [CuCl(H2O)NNO] and [MnCl2(H2O)(NNO)] with the explicit solvent and the enzyme. MRI contrast agents have generated various problems due to their high toxicity. In this perspective, this compound may be a promising alternative for transporting the CAs into diseased tissue.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
