Resum

X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a powerful and widely used medical non-invasive technique that requires intravenously administration of contrast agents to enhance the sensitivity and visualization of soft tissues. In this work, we have developed a novel CT contrast agent based on ternary Ag-Au-Se chalcogenide nanoparticles. A facile and gentle ligand exchange by using a 3 kDa PEGylated ligand with a dithiol dihydrolipoic as an anchor resulted in highly water-soluble and monodisperse nanoparticles. Moreover, the injected PEGylated ternary NPs presented excellent characteristics as a CT contrast agent with high bioavailability, low cytotoxicity and long blood circulation times with slow uptake by the mononuclear phagocyte system, thus being ideal for in vivo imaging.
