Patent number: 10548997Abstract: The present invention provides a fluorescent silica-based nanoparticle that allows for precise detection, characterization, monitoring and treatment of a disease such as cancer. The nanoparticle has a range of diameters including between about 0.1 nm and about 100 nm, between about 0.5 nm and about 50 nm, between about 1 nm and about 25 nm, between about 1 nm and about 15 nm, or between about 1 nm and about 8 nm. The nanoparticle has a fluorescent compound positioned within the nanoparticle, and has greater brightness and fluorescent quantum yield than the free fluorescent compound. The nanoparticle also exhibits high biostability and biocompatibility. To facilitate efficient urinary excretion of the nanoparticle, it may be coated with an organic polymer, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The small size of the nanoparticle, the silica base and the organic polymer coating minimizes the toxicity of the nanoparticle when administered in vivo.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignees: Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, Cornell UniversityInventors: Michelle S. Bradbury, Ulrich Wiesner, Oula Penate Medina, Hooisweng Ow, Andrew Burns, Jason S. Lewis, Steven M. Larson
