Single-step formulation of levodopa-based nanotheranostics – strategy for ultra-sensitive high longitudinal relaxivity MRI guided switchable therapeutics

Nanotheranostics (combined diagnosis and therapy) is emerging as an integral part of future therapeutic strategies. However, the development and fabrication of a nanotheranostic module involves multistep processes and always faces formulation challenges. The complexity involved in its multi-step formulations hinders its reproducible industrial production and clinical translation. Therefore, a facile synthesis of multifunctional nanotheranostics...
