Abstract
Nanoparticulate material suitable for administration to a subject, the nanoparticulate material having bound to its surface: (a) copolymeric steric stabiliser that promotes dispersion of the nanoparticulate material in a liquid, wherein the copolymeric steric stabiliser comprises (i) an anchoring polymer segment having one or more binding groups that bind the copolymeric steric stabiliser to the nanoparticulate material, and (ii) a steric stabilising polymer segment that is different from the anchoring polymer segment, and (b) copolymeric mapping moiety comprising (i) an anchoring polymer segment having one or more binding groups that bind the copolymeric mapping moiety to the nanoparticulate material, (ii) one or more mapping groups comprising an agent that specifically binds to fibroblast activation protein (FAP), and (iii) a coupling polymer segment that is different to the anchoring polymer segment, wherein the coupling polymer segment couples the anchoring polymer segment to the one or more mapping groups.
