Polyacetylenes containing 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinooxy and poly(ethylene glycol) conjugated with carboxyl fluorescein and folic acid (FA) are synthesized by metathesis polymerization of corresponding substituted acetylenes for targeted bimodal MRI /optical imaging of tumors. In vitro studies confirm excellent binding specificity and subsequent enhanced cellular internalization of the targeted ORCAs (PA-TEMPO-FI-FA). In vivo T1-weighted MRI and optical imaging demonstrate the active tumor targeting ability of PA-TEMPO-FI-FA to generate specific contrast enhancement in mice bearing HeLa tumors. These results indicate that the multifunctional ORCAs may provide a tumor-targeted delivery platform for further molecular imaging guided cancer therapy.
