| Abstract | Star polymer architectures were developed as multimodal imaging systems as fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents. Acrylate star polymers in hydrodynamic diameters of 10 ± 2 nm comprising fluorene derivatives as core units were modified with dopamine derivatives in adjustable quantities to chelate lanthanides such as Gd3+ and Eu3+. Ionic relaxivity values of 84 mM−1s−1 in an applied magnetic field of 0.5T at 37 °C confirmed the rapid water exchange of the highly hydrated star polymer. The utility is extended by the consecutive modification with allyl groups to perform thiol-ene reactions to conjugate thiol modified targeting units such as (cRGD) and dendritic molecular transporter as cell penetrating units. Cell uptake experiments in NIH 3T3 cells showed a rapid uptake of the star polymer independently of the presence of molecular transporter unit as it was detected through both the blue fluorescence of the fluorine core and the red fluorescence of the complexed Eu3+ to the linear polymer arms. In vivo mouse models confirmed the star polymer imaging reagent altered the image contrast significantly. In this work, we have adapted macromolecules as imaging agents for fluorescence microscopy and magnetic resonance imaging in conjunction with intracellular delivery and targeting. |

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.
