Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to MRI contrasting agent for contrasting cancer cell which contains ultrafine nanoparticles. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a self-assembled ligand composition comprising a ligand A, which is separated at a specific pH range, and a ligand B of which surface charge changes at a specific pH range, MRI contrast agent for contrasting cancer cell comprising said ligand composition and MRI contrasting nanoparticles, and the methods for preparing them.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A ligand composition for use with a MRI contrasting agent comprising: a ligand A having the following structure: wherein n and m are independently an integer of 5-500, a ligand B having the following structure: wherein n and m are independently an integer of 5-500, wherein at a pH range of 4-7.2, the ligand A is separated from the MRI contrasting agent and the surface charge of ligand B changes from negative to positive.
