| Abstract | Engineering biocompatible and physiologically stable nanoscaled therapeutics and imaging agents with the ability to target tumor tissue is a key challenge for the advancement of cancer therapeutics and diagnostic imaging. Here, we present chelating amphiphiles with the capacity to form nanoassembled colloidal particles containing high payloads of gadolinium (Gd) ions. We present the in situ synthesis and complexation of Gd with colloidal nanoassemblies (NAs) based on diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) amphiphiles. This method allows for facile simultaneous incorporation of several metal ions for applications in multimodal imaging and therapeutics. The diverse internally nanostructured NAs made from sole precursor amphiphiles and their Gd-complexes were investigated by synchrotron small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and cryo-TEM. Depending on the molecular structure of the amphiphiles, the structures of NAs range from micelles to liposomes, to colloidal particles of inverse hexagonal (hexosomes) and inverse bicontinuous cubic phases (cubosomes), to multilayered nanospheres. The in vitro contrast activity of these NAs exhibited high relaxivity values as T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast enhancement agents. Further, an α-Flag antibody fragment (Fab′) was bioconjugated to the surface of the Gd-complexed NAs. The binding ability of these targeted NAs to a FLAG-tagged protein was confirmed by SDS-PAGE. The in vitro cytotoxicity against two cell lines showed that except for the negatively charged micellar Gd-DTPA amphiphile, liposomal and higher order internally nanostructured NAs had low cell toxicity. The efficient cellular uptake of Gd-NAs by melanoma cancer cells was also investigated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
