Pharmacological activities and potential use of bovine colostrum for peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals: A review

Bovine colostrum (BC) is the initial milk produced by cows after giving birth. It has been used to treat human diseases, such as infections, inflammations, and cancers. Accumulating evidence suggests that bovine lactoferrin antibodies seem be most important bioactive constituents in BC. Thus, BC also reviewed for its potential deliver short-term protection against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In addition, it can potentially explored a precursor peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals. To date, several peptides have isolated from BC, including casocidin-1, casecidin 15 17, isracidin, caseicin A, B, C. Like other peptides, derived could valuable radiopharmaceuticals either diagnosis or therapy purposes. This review provides colostrum’s biological activities perspective on use of developing nuclear medicine.
