  • HYBRID NANOPARTICLES AS ANTI-CANCER THERAPEUTIC AGENTS AND DUAL THERAPEUTIC/IMAGING CONTRAST AGENTS
    Publication number: 20110135571
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter provides nanoscale coordination polymers for use as anticancer agents and as dual anticancer/imaging agents. The nanoscale coordination polymers can comprise a plurality of platinum metal complexes; nonplatinum anticancer drug bridging ligands complexed to multiple metal centers; or combinations thereof. The nanoscale coordination polymers can be targeted for delivery to cancer cells. They can also comprise stabilizing agents to allow for controlled and/or sustained release of anticancer agents in vivo.
