  • FUNCTIONALIZED POLYMER NANOPARTICLES AND THE PHARMACEUTICAL USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20130136714
    Abstract: PEO-PPO-PEO polymers and vinyl monomers are used to prepare several block copolymers via consecutive atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The block copolymers provide good delivery characteristics and can be used as a gene/drug delivery carrier for therapy and diagnosis.

  • FOLIC ACID-MEDIATED MAGNETIC NANOPARTICLE CLUSTERS FOR COMBINED TARGETING, DIAGNOSIS, AND THERAPY APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20110085987
    Abstract: The preparation method of the magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) includes steps of: (a) reacting folic acid (FA) with Pluronic F127 (PF127) to form FA-PF127; (b) reacting poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) with FeCl3 to form PAA-bound iron oxide (PAAIO); and (c) reacting FA-PF127 with PAAIO via N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC) mediation to form FA-PF127-PAAIO. FA-PF127-PAAIO is nontoxic and shows the superparamagnetic property at room temperature. The Nile red-loaded FA-PF127-PAAIO can be performed as the chemotherapy agent and the contrast agent on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
