Gd@C82 metallofullerenes for neutron capture therapy—fullerene solubilization by poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(2-(N, N-diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) and resultant efficacy in vitro
Poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PEG-b-PAMA) was found to solubilize fullerenes such as C60, and this technique was applied to metallofullerenes. Gd@C82 was easily dissolved in water in the presence of PEG-b-PAMA without any covalent derivatization, forming a...
