The pH-sensitive PEGylated nanogels constructed from tethered PEG chains and a polyamine gel core containing 19F compounds showed remarkable on-off regulation of 19F MR (magnetic resonance) signals in response to the extracellular pH (6.5) of the tumor environment, even in the presence of 90% fetal bovine serum, due to the increase in the molecular motion of the 19F compounds through the hydrophilic-hydrophobic (volume-phase) transition of the polyamine gel core. Eventually, an appreciably enhanced 19F MR signal at an extremely low 19F compound concentration (approximately 55 microM) was achieved, demonstrating the utility of these nanogels as solid tumor-specific smart 19F MRI probes.
