Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present technology provides new compositions comprising at least one cross-linked co-polymer. In some embodiments, the polyacrylamide co-polymer comprises water soluble subunits, cross-linking subunits, and iron chelating subunits. In other embodiments, the co-polymer comprises water soluble units, cross-linking subunits, and substituted subunits, which can be conjugated with iron-chelating agents. When these new particles are exposed to certain environments, such the presence of strong acids or oxidation agents, these particles are capable of breaking up so that the iron chelating agents can chelate iron or other metals from their environments. Methods to prepare these new compositions are also provided. These compositions or compositions comprising nanogels of the present technology may be used to treat metal overload conditions such as iron overload resulting from chronic transfusions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A composition comprising at least one cross-linked polyacrylyl co-polymer, wherein: the cross-linked polyacrylyl co-polymer comprises water soluble acrylyl subunits, stimuli-responsive cross-linking subunits, and iron-chelating subunits, wherein each subunit is attached to at least one or two other subunits at the former vinyl carbons; wherein the composition is a nanogel, and the water soluble acrylyl subunits are derived from acrylamido and/or acrylic monomers…
