Particles are provided for use in therapeutic and/or diagnostic procedures. The particles include poly[bis(trifluoroethoxy) phosphazene] and/or a derivatives thereof which may be present throughout the particles or within an outer coating of the particles. The particles can also include a core having a hydrogel formed from an acrylic-based polymer. Barium sulfate may also be provided to the core of the particles as a coating or absorbed within the core of the particles. The particles can be used to minimize blood flow to mammalian tissues by occluding at least a portion of a blood vessel of the mammal, or to deliver an active agent to a localized area within a body of a mammal by contacting a localized area with at least one of the particles. Farther, the particles are useful in sustained release formulations including active agent(s) for oral administration, as tracer particles for injection into the bloodstream of a mammal or for use in enhanced ultrasound imaging. The particles may include agents for increasing density for achieving useful buoyancy levels in suspension.
所提供的微粒可用于治疗和/或诊断程序。微粒包括聚[双(三氟乙氧基)磷苯]和/或其衍生物,这些衍生物可存在于整个微粒或微粒的外涂层中。颗粒还可以包括一个具有由丙烯酸聚合物形成的水凝胶的核心。硫酸钡也可以作为涂层提供给颗粒核心,或被吸收在颗粒核心内。这些微粒可用于通过堵塞哺乳动物血管的至少一部分来减少流向哺乳动物组织的血流量,或通过将至少一种微粒与哺乳动物体内的局部区域接触来将活性剂输送到局部区域。此外,微粒还可用于包括口服活性剂在内的缓释制剂,或作为示踪微粒注射到哺乳动物的血液中,或用于增强超声波成像。颗粒可包括增加密度的制剂,以达到悬浮液中有用的浮力水平。
