Compounds are described which include polyvalent ligands linked to a cyclodextrin scaffold which exhibit strong binding affinities for lanthanides and favorable characteristics with respect to altering the relaxation time of coordinated water molecules. The compounds are useful as contrast agents in applications such as magnetic resonance imaging. The polyvalent ligands are also useful in applications requiring chelation of metal ions in other applications such as water treatment, sequestration of metal ions and treatment of diseases or conditions caused by exposure to toxic or radioactive metal ions.

The present invention relates to the formation of gels. In particular, the present invention is directed to a method of forming a cross-linked polymer hydrogel using competitive ligand exchange.

A method of promoting wound healing or connective tissue reconstruction and a method of treating ischemia in a subject in need thereof are disclosed. The methods comprising topically administering to the subject about 10-30 mg per cm.sup.2 wound tissue of Erythropoietin and about 100-300 mg per cm.sup.2 wound tissue of Fibronectin, thereby promoting wound healing or connective tissue reconstruction or treating ischemia in the subject. Unit dosage forms, pharmaceutical compositions, cosmetic compositions and formulations comprising Erythropoietin and/or Fibronectin are also disclosed.

Disclosed are chelating co-polymer compositions that are soluble in aqueous media and chelate essential metals, methods of preparation and uses thereof. The chelating compositions are comprised of two or more different monomers, at least one of which possesses metal binding or metal chelating activity. The chelating compositions are synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization with the aid of a suitable RAFT-mediating agent. Also described are chelating compositions that comprise hydroxypyridinone chelating groups. The ability of the chelating compositions to bind metals affects the activity of a living cells and organisms, which require the metals for cellular functions.
