[ 1 ] - Preclinical studies of 166Ho-chitosan for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma

Introduction: Recently, due to the special characteristics of 166Ho and chitosan, 166Ho-chitosan complex was developed for treatment of tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma. This complex has been lately prepared with high radiochemical purity in our lab. The preclinical studies of the complex however should be performed to evaluate the tracer concentration in target and...

[ 2 ] - Preparation of a 153Sm-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl) porphyrin complex as a possible therapeutic agent

Introduction: Porphyrins are interesting derivatives with low toxicity, tumor avidity and rapid wash-out suggested as potential radiopharmaceuticals in radiolabeled form. In this work we report, synthesis, radiolabeling, quality control, stability, partition coefficient determination and biodistribution studies of 153Sm-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl) porphyrin (153Sm-4-MPP) in ...

[ 3 ] - Radiolabeling and evaluation of two 177Lu-labeled bis-phosphonates

Introduction: Bone pain palliation therapy is a mandate in handling end-stage cancer patients. The development of new ligands with higher stability, better pharmacokinetics and lower unwanted tissue uptakes (liver and GI) is still ongoing. Methods: In this work Lu-177 labeled (3-amino-1-hydroxypropane-1,1-di-yl)-bis-(phosphonate) (177Lu-pamidronate; 177Lu-PAM ), ...

[ 4 ] - Preparation and preliminary biological evaluation of [153Sm] samarium AMD3100; towards a possible therapeutic chemokine receptor CXCR4 targeting complex

Introduction: In continuation of recent development of possible C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) imaging agents, we report the development of a possible CXCR4 targeted therapy agent. Methods: [153Sm]labeled 1,1′-[1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)] bis-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclo -tetradecane ([153Sm]-AMD3100) was prepared using [153Sm]SmCl3 and AMD-3100 ...
