Abstract:
We have demonstrated the design and synthesis of hyperbranched molecules that can be successfully imaged in vivo using (19)F MRI in under 10 min. These polymers are cytocompatible following chain extension with PEGMA. In addition, functionalization of these macromolecules can be achieved in a facile manner and with accessible and correct ligand presentation. Such hyperbranched polymers hold promise as new generation tracking and targeting MRI contrast agents.
