In vivo cancer imaging by poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(?-caprolactone) micelles containing a near-infrared probe.


ABSTRACT: Noninvasive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging is a promising technique for the intraoperative assessment of solid tumor removal. We incorporated a lipophilic NIR probe, 1,1'-dioctadecyltetramethyl indotricarbocyanine iodide (DiR), in poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(?-caprolactone) (PEG-b-PCL) micelles, resulting in DiR solubilization in water, occupying nanoscopic PEG-b-PCL micelles. DiR in a self-quenched or nonquenched state showed different kinetics of release from PEG-b-PCL micelles in vitro; however, both obtained high tumor delineation (tumor-to-muscle ratio of 30-43 from collected organs). These results suggest that PEG-b-PCL micelles with DiR are a promising nanosized imaging agent that will provide a basis for enhanced surgical guidance via NIR visualization of tumors.In this paper, noninvasive near-infrared fluorescence imaging coupled with specific lipophilic probes is discussed as a promising technique for intraoperative assessment of solid tumor removal, leading to optimized outcomes for in toto removal of tumors.
