DOTA, or 1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (CAS 60239-18-1), is a highly significant molecule in the fields of medical imaging and targeted therapeutics. Its unique macrocyclic structure and robust chelating capabilities make it a preferred choice for complexing metal ions used in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Understanding its properties and sourcing reliable material is crucial for any researcher or manufacturer in this domain.
Chemically, DOTA is characterized by its molecular formula C16H28N4O8 and a molecular weight of approximately 404.42. It typically presents as a white solid. The key feature of DOTA is its ability to form exceptionally stable complexes with a variety of metal ions, including lanthanides like Gadolinium (Gd3+) for MRI contrast agents, and various radionuclides such as Yttrium-90 (90Y) and Lutetium-177 (177Lu) for radiopharmaceutical applications. This high stability prevents the premature release of potentially toxic metal ions, ensuring patient safety and diagnostic accuracy.
