Functionalization of theranostic AGuIX® nanoparticles for PET/MRI/optical imaging
2019
International audience; A novel trifunctional imaging probe containing a chelator of radiometal for PET, a NIR heptamethine cyanine dye, and a bioconjugatable handle, has been grafted onto AGuIX® nanoparticles via a Michael addition reaction. The resulting functionalized nanoparticles have been fully characterized, radiolabelled with 64Cu, and evaluated in a mice TSA tumor model using multimodal (PET/MRI/optical) imaging.
One-pot direct synthesis for multifunctional ultrasmall hybrid silica nanoparticles
2018
International audience; Ultrasmall silica nanoparticles (NPs), having hydrodynamic diameters under 10 nm are promising inorganic platforms for imaging and therapeutic applications in medicine. Herein is described a new way for synthesizing such kind of NPs in a one-pot scalable protocol. These NPs bear DOTA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid) ligands on their surface that can chelate different metals suitable for a wide variety of biomedical applications. By varying the ratio of the precursors, the hydrodynamic diameters of the particles can be controlled over the range of 3 to 15 nm. The resulting NPs have been characterized extensively by complementary techniques li…
