Poly(amino acid)s micelle-mediated assembly of magnetite nanoparticles for ultra-sensitive long-term MR imaging of tumors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Micelles composed of a novel weakly cationic poly(amino acid)s shell and clustered magnetite nanoparticles as a core were prepared and evaluated as a potent MR imaging contrast agent based on their superior physicochemical and magnetic properties and the effective MR imaging of cancer in vitro and in vivo.

Objective(s): 18F-fluciclovine (trans-1-amino-3-[18F] fluorocyclobutanecarboxylic acid, [FACBC]) is an artificial amino acid radiotracer used for positron emission tomography (PET) studies, which is metabolically stable in vivo and has a long half-life. It has already been shown that FACBC-PET is useful for glioma imaging. However, there have been no reports evaluating the efficiency of FACBC-P...
متن کاملSynthesis and Functionalization of Gold Nanoparticles by Using of Poly Functional Amino Acids
Synthesis and characterization of two functionalized gold nanoparticles by using of two poly functional amino acids (L-Arginine and L-Aspartic acid) are reported. The gold nanoparticles were reduced by sodium citrate and functionalized with L-Arginine at the pH of 7 and 11 and L-Aspartic acid at the pH of 7. Transmission electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta p...

In this study, we reported a facile synthesis of bimetallic FeCo nanoparticles (Fe-Co NPs) by FeSO4.7H2O and Co(Ac)2.4H2O in the presence of sodium borohydride and 2-thiotic acid. The structure and morphology of the nanoparticles were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Transmission Electron Micros...
متن کاملImaging the intracellular degradation of biodegradable polymer nanoparticles
In recent years, the development of smart drug delivery systems based on biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles has become of great interest. Drug-loaded nanoparticles can be introduced into the cell interior via endocytotic processes followed by the slow release of the drug due to degradation of the nanoparticle. In this work, poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) was chosen as the biodegradable polymer. ...
متن کاملMagnetite-loaded fluorine-containing polymeric micelles for magnetic resonance imaging and drug delivery.
Magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) - loaded polymer micelles (denoted as "magnetomicelles") are produced by self-assembly of fluorine-containing amphiphilic poly(HFMA-g-PEGMA) copolymers with oleic acid modified Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles in an aqueous medium. The oleic acid modified Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles form small clusters in the poly(HFMA-g-PEGMA) micelles with a mean diameter of 100 nm and the magnetomic...
