  • Composite Nanoparticles, Compositions thereof, and Methods of Use and Manufacture
    Publication number: 20260217920
    Abstract: A composite nanoparticle that includes a biodegradable amphiphilic material and a hydrophobic compound having a stable isotope label. The biodegradable amphiphilic material may be a polymeric, non-polymeric, or hybrid polymer/lipid self-assembling system. The composite nanoparticle may be a poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(?-caprolactone) (PEG-b-PCL) copolymer, a poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(L-lactide) (PEG-b-PLA) copolymer, or poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PEG-b-PLGA) copolymer; and the poly(ethylene glycol) block of any of the polymeric biodegradable amphiphilic copolymers may be poly(ethylene glycol) or methoxy poly(ethylene glycol). The hydrophobic compound of the composite nanoparticle may be a fatty acid, a fatty acid derivative, and a lipid analog having a stable isotope label. Compositions and methods of using and making the composite nanoparticle.
