    摘要: The present invention relates to a composition for use as a contrast agent in medical imaging. The composition comprises a metal ion containing compound comprises at least one metal ion adapted to bind with one or more metal ion chelating agents; wherein said one or more metal ion chelating agents comprise at least one first chelating agent adapted to target a region of interest being imaged, and at least one second chelating agent having at least one functional group adapted to dissociate in an aqueous medium to thereby allow or enhance contrast of the region of interest under the medical imaging. The present invention further relates to a diagnostic agent for use in amyloid (Aβ) protein detection under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) comprising the above described composition; and a method of preparing thereof.

    摘要: Synthesis and characterization of starch based pH-responsive nanoparticles for controlled drug delivery are described. Polymethacrylic acid grafted starch (PMAA-g-St) nanoparticles with various molar ratio of starch to MAA were synthesized by a new one-pot method that enabled simultaneous grafting of PMAA and nanoparticle formation in an aqueous medium. NMR data showed that polysorbate 80 was polymerized into the graft polymer. Nanoparticles were relatively spherical with narrow size distribution and porous surface morphology and exhibited pH-dependent swelling in physiological pH range. The particle size and magnitude of volume phase transition were dependent on PMAA content and formulation parameters such as surfactant levels, cross-linker amount, and total monomer concentration. The results showed that the new pH-responsive nanoparticles possessed useful properties for controlled drug delivery.

    摘要: Nanoparticles include a core and one or more targeting moieties, as well as one or more contrast agents or one or more therapeutic agents. The contrast agents or therapeutic agents may be contained or embedded within the core. If the nanoparticle includes therapeutic agents, the agents are preferably released from the core at a desired rate. The core may be biodegradable and may release the agents as the core is degraded or eroded. The targeting moieties preferably extend outwardly from the core so that they are available for interaction with cellular components, which interactions will target the nanoparticles to the appropriate cells, such as apoptotic cells; organelles, such as mitochondria; or the like. The targeting moieties may be tethered to the core or components that interact with the core.

    摘要: An improved contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging comprises particles to each of which is coupled a multiplicity of chelating agents containing paramagnetic ions. In the improved agent, the position of the ion is offset from the surface of the particle so as to improve the relaxivity imparted by the contrast agent. A tether offsetting the chelate from the surface of the particle may optionally contain cleavage sites permitting more facile excretion of the chelated paramagnetic ion.
