[ 1 ] - 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 ...

[ 2 ] - Evaluation of a new 99mTc-Bombesin analog in differentiation of malignant from benign breast tumors

Introduction: The gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) receptor is over expressed in a variety of common human tumors. Radiolabeled bombesin analogues have exhibited high binding affinity for these receptors. The aim of this study was to assess the value of a new 99mTc-bombesin analog in the differentiation of malignant from benign breast tumors. Methods: 99mTc-bombesin scans ...
