    摘要: Disclosed herein are globular nanostructures having a hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) of 8-100 nm comprising a central part and a peripheral part, wherein said central part has a calculated diameter (Dc) of 6-90 nm and said peripheral part has an estimated thickness (Tp) so that Dh=Dc+2Tp, wherein said central part comprises: (i) a crosslinked polymeric framework comprising monomer residues wherein at least 30% by number of the monomer residues have crosslinked thereby forming the crosslinked polymeric framework and/or (ii) a branched polymeric framework comprising monomer residues wherein the number of branch points is at least 30% of the number of monomer residues, wherein said central part comprises chelating groups of which at least 4 allow chelation of at least one multiply charged cation, wherein said chelating groups are independently selected from the group consisting of —COOR1, —P═O(OR1)(OR2), and —S(═O)2OR1, wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of a negative charge, H, and lower alkyls, and wherein said peripheral part comprises a synthetic polymer material covalently attached to the central part, wherein the synthetic polymer material is hydrophilic and bioinert, and electrically neutral or zwitterionic. Also disclosed are compositions comprising such nanoparticles, and optionally also a radionuclide, use of such compositions, kits containing such compositions and methods for obtaining such compositions.

    摘要: Image enhancing contrast agents for use in diagnostic and/or therapeutic methods, particularly in the form of gas-filled microvesicles, with enhanced stability. The gas-filled microvesicles are stabilized by a layer of amphiphilic material and comprise from 0.15% to 1.0% by moles of a lipid bearing a hydrophilic polymer. The lipid bearing a hydrophilic polymer is preferably a phospholipid linked to polyethyleneglycol.

    摘要: The invention provides stabilized, biocompatible gold nanoparticles that are stabilized with material from epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCg), which is a polyphenols- or flavonoids-rich plant material that can be obtained from green tea. The EGCg is an antioxidant reducing agent derived from green tea. The gold nanoparticles of the invention can be radioactive or non radioactive and are formed via a simple room temperature fabrication method. In preferred embodiment method of making, an aqueous solution containing gold salts is provided. The aqueous solution is mixed with EGCg in a buffer, such as deionized water. The gold salts react to form biocompatible gold nanoparticles that are stabilized with a coating of EGCg. The thermodynamically feasible redox couple of AuCl4-/EGCg leading to the reduction of AuCl4- by EGCg to form gold nanoparticles. In another embodiment, pre-cooled gold salt and EGCg solutions form multi-layered EGCg coated particles.
