Amino functionalized silica coated gadolinium
nanoparticle (Gd@SiO
2
-NH
2
) based
perfectly soluble potential theranostic agents
formulated as Gd@SiO
2
-NHCO-DO3A-BTA. The
preparation initially requires the formation of Gd@SiO
2
-NH
2
through
self-condensation on the surface of GdNPs in DEG to
react with TEOS and APTES. In order to increase
solubility as well as used by theranostic agents, Gd@SiO
2
-NH
2
was
further conjugated with DO3A-benzothiazole to give the
desired product. Gd@SiO
2
-NHCO-DO3A-BTA
reveals high MR relaxivity (
R
1
=
8.74 mM
-1
s
-1
) and
in
vitro
and
in
vivo
monitoring
provides high uptake affinity to tumor. Therefore, this
system may be put into a new family of multifunctional
theranostic CAs.
