CEST effect of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at negative offset frequency

Research output: Conference PapersRGC 32 - Refereed conference paper (without host publication)peer-review

Abstract

CEST MRI can detect mM range of endogenous and exogenous molecules, and bound small molecules such as glycogen and lactate via rNOE. Here we reported for the first time that DMSO and its structural analogs in aqueous solution had distinctive CEST peaks at the negative offsets of Z-spectrum. CEST effect of DMSO was dependent on saturation power and concentration, and less sensitive to tested temperature. Alcohols, acetone, acetonitrile, acetic acid and N,N-dimethylformamide also showed observable CEST peaks at the negative offsets. Interaction between DMSO and water molecule, such as hydrogen bonding, could contribute to the observed CEST effect.
