Abstract:
Provided is a dendrimer particle having a unit that contains a fluorine atom at a plurality of branch ends of an aliphatic branched polymer (dendrimer). Further, the dendrimer particle is produced using an atom transfer radical polymerization method or the like. Thus, an F-MRI contrast medium, dendrimer particles with high contrast sensitivity and a rigorously controlled size and a method of manufacturing the same are provided.
Abstract:
There is provided an ICG-loaded polymer nanoparticle that is dynamically stable, prevents the leakage of contained ICG and the resulting discoloration, and has a high molar absorbance coefficient. The particle contains a hydrophilic dye having a sulfonate group and a hydrophobic polymer, and the particle further contains at least one of a lipid having a positively charged region, a nicotinic acid derivative and a thiamine derivative.

Abstract:
Provided are polymer nanoparticles each having a fluorescent dye dispersed in the matrix of a fluorescent polymer, characterized in that the surface of the nanoparticles is protected by a surfactant and fluorescence is emitted via FRET between the fluorescent polymer and the fluorescent dye, and a contrast agent for optical molecular imaging using the polymer nanoparticles.
