Abstract: A new class of micro- and nano-particulate paramagnetic spin probes especially useful for magnetic resonance imaging techniques, including electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The probes are lithium phthalocyanine derivative compounds. Also provided are suspensions and emulsions comprising lithium phthalocyanine derivative probes. Also provided are noninvasive methods for measuring noninvasive methods of measuring oxygen concentration, oxygen partial pressure, oxygen metabolism, and nitric oxide concentration in a specific tissue, organ, or cell in vivo or in vitro.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating post angioplasty restenosis, arteriosclerosis, and/or smooth muscle cell proliferation and/or neointimal hyperplasia in vascular tissues, and at least one composition of a redox based curcumin derivative, DAP-F(p) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, are described.

Abstract: A scanner for assessing localized oxygenation of a desired region of interest includes a handheld housing having a proximal end and a distal end. A resonator coil is disposed within the housing and also disposed adjacent the distal end of the housing. The resonator coil is configured to both excite and read paramagnetic materials. A magnet is disposed within the housing and also disposed adjacent the distal end of the housing. The magnet is configured to provide a substantially uniform magnetic field over the desired region of interest. The scanner is configured to use electron paramagnetic resonance to assess localized oxygenation in the desired region.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating cancers, including ovarian cancers, are described. The compositions generally include a redox based curcumin derivative, diarylidenylpiperiden-4-one (DAP) having a hydroxylamine moiety attached thereto.

Abstract: A sensor for measuring oxygen concentration in a tissue or an organ of a subject is provided. The sensor includes a sensory element comprising at least one paramagnetic spin probe compound encapsulated in a biocompatible oxygen permeable material. A barrier layer partially covers the sensory element and is comprised of at least one biocompatible oxygen impermeable material. Oxygen concentration data may be acquired by applying the sensor to the tissue or the organ of the subject, and subsequently applying a magnetic resonance spectroscopy or imaging technique.
