Article Title: Ultrasmall renally clearable silica nanoparticles target prostate cancer
Abstract: Although important advances have been achieved in the development of radiolabeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting ligand constructs for both diagnosis and therapy of prostate cancer (PCa) over the past decade, challenges related to off-target effects and limited treatment responses persist. In this study, which builds upon the successful clinical translation of a series of ultrasmall, dye-encapsulating core-shell silica nanoparticles, or Cornell Prime Dots (C′ dots), for cancer management, we sought to address these limitations by designing a dual-modality, PSMA-targeting platform that evades undesirable accumulations in the salivary glands, kidneys, and reticuloendothelial system, while exhibiting bulk renal clearance. This versatile PCa-targeted particle imaging probe offers significant clinical potential to improve future theranostic applications in a variety of patient care settings. © 2019 American Chemical Society.
