Abstract
The invention relates to polymerized micelles of size inferior to 100 nm for in vivo diagnosis, in particular of cancer. The polymerized micelles of the invention comprise a diagnostic agent and an amphiphilic polymer obtainable by the polymerization of an amphiphilic monomer, said monomer comprising: a lipophilic chain comprising a polymerizable vinylic or diacetylenic group, and a hydrophilic head comprising a polyoxyethylene or polyoxypropylene chain. The invention finds application in the pharmaceutical field, in particular.
