Abstract: Provided are macrocyclic compounds and iron or cobalt coordinated macrocyclic compounds. The compounds can be used as MRI contrast agents. Certain compounds are redox active and can be used to assess the biological redox status of a sample.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compounds comprising a tetrapyrrole (e.g., a tetrapyrrole group) linked via a linker to one or more ligands and uses of the compounds. The compounds may be used as imaging agents (e.g., MRI contrast agents) or as both imaging and therapeutic agents. The compounds may be used to treat individuals in need of treatment for a hyperproliferative disorder, such as, for example, malignancy. The present disclosure also provides kits comprising pharmaceutical preparations containing any one or any combination of the compounds described herein.

Abstract: Novel tetrapyrollic water soluble photosensitizing and imaging compounds and the methods of treating and imaging hyperproliferative tissue, e.g. tumors and hypervacularized tissue such as found in macular degeneration. Broadly, the compounds are tetrapyrollic photosensitizer compounds where the tetrapyrollic compound is a chlorin, bacteriochlorin, porphyrin, pyropheophorbide, purpurinimide, or bacteriopurpurinimide having 3 to 6 —CH2CONHphenylCH2CH(N(CH2COOH)2))(CH2N(CH2COOH)(CH2CH2N(CH2COOH)2)) groups or esters thereof or complexes thereof with gadolinium(III).
