[ 1 ] - Preparation and evaluation of 99mTc-labeled zidovudine function as an analog of thymidine in the diagnosis of human lung cancer cells

Introduction: Labeled nucleotide detectors provide a basis for measuring cell division. Zidovudine is a prodrug that is phosphorylated by cellular enzymes at the 5ʹ position and converted to active triphosphate. Zidovudine triphosphate interferes with the reverse transcriptase enzyme and lengthens the viral DNA strand. Materials and Methods: Ethyl-2-propynyl acetate and 2-amino-N-propynyl benza...

[ 2 ] - Beneficial effects of Pimpinella anisum L. ethanol and aqueous extracts on L-asparaginase-associated hepatotoxicity using specific 99mTc-Phytate biodistribution studies in rats

Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Pimpinella anisum L. ethanolic and aqueous extracts on L-asparaginase- associated hepatotoxicity in rats using histopathological and specific 99mTc-Phytate biodistribution studies. Materials and Methods: 60 female rats were divided into 9 treatment groups including L-asparaginase group, Aqueous extract (100 and 200 m...
