The authentic standards GSK1482160 and its isomer, as well as the radiolabeling precursors desmethyl-GSK1482160 and Boc-protected desmethyl-GSK1482160 were synthesized from L-pyroglutamic acid, methyl L-pyroglutamate and 2-chloro-3(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine with overall chemical yield 27-28% in 3 steps, 58% in 4 steps, 76% in 1 step and 33% in 2 steps, respectively. [C]GSK1482160 was prepared...

Objectives Studies have indicated advantageous properties of [DOTA-DPhe1, Tyr3] octreotide (DOTATOC) in tumor models and labeling with gallium. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality in women, and most of these cancers are often an adenocarcinoma. Due to the importance of target to non-target ratios in the efficacy of diagnosis, the pharmacokinetic of 68Ga-DOTATOC in an a...

We have previously reported of labeled reversible and irreversible EGFR inhibitors, such as 4-(3,4-dichloro-6-fluoroanilino)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (ML01) and 6-acrylamido-4-(3,4-dichloro-6-fluoroanilino)quinazoline (ML03), to be suboptimal as imaging agents. On the basis of these studies, a new generation of novel, more chemically stable irreversible inhibitors was labeled with carbon-11 as ...

Developing new bone pain palliation agents is a mandate in handling end-stage cancer patients around the world. Possibly, Lu-177 ethylenediaminetetramethylene phosphonic acid ((177)Lu-EDTMP) is a therapeutic agent which can be widely used in bone palliation therapy. In this study, (177)Lu-EDTMP complex was prepared successfully using synthesized EDTMP ligand and (177)LuCl3. Lu-177 chloride was ...

Introduction: Bleomycins are DNA-binding biomolecules, which can be used as targeted therapy carriers when labeled with particle-emitters such as Yb-175. In this work the development of Yb-175 bleomycin (Yb-BLM) has been reported. Methods: Yb-175 chloride was obtained by thermal neutron irradiation (3 × 10 n.cm.s) of natural Yb2O3 samples at various neutron fluxes and irradiation times. The rad...

introduction bacterial infection is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality especially in developing countries. nuclear medicine has an important role in helping the diagnosis of deep-seated infections by developing more specific radiopharmaceuticals. the aim of this study was to evaluate 99mtc-labeling ceftriaxone as a new radiopharmaceutical for staphylococcus aureus infection imag...

In this study, 16O(p,α)13N nuclear reaction was chosen as the best method of N-13 production. High purity natural water targets were bombarded by 18 MeV protons with an intensity of 8μA. A production yield of 13.5 mCi/μAh was obtained. Chemical modification of 13N-nitrogen oxides into [13N]NH3 was accomplished using De Varda's catalyst. Chemical, radiochemical and radionuclide purity cont...

introduction: trastuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that is used in treating breast cancer. we labeled this monoclonal antibody with technetium-99m and performed in vitro and in vivo quality control tests as a first step in the production of a new radiopharmaceutical. methods: trastuzumab was labeled with technetium-99m using succinimidyl hydrazinonicotinamide (hynic) as chelator. radiochemical ...

background: copper-64 (t1/2=12.7 h) is an important radionuclide used both in pet imaging and therapy. [64cu]-pyruvaldehyde-bis (n4-methylthiosemicarbazone) ([64cu]-ptsm) is one of the most famous copper radiopharmaceuticals with unique specifications (suitable half life, stability, etc.). the wide range of 64cu applications arouse great interest for its production. materials and methods: cu-64...

Abstract—[Tris (1,10-phenanthroline) lanthanum(III)] trithiocyanate is a new compound that has shown high ability for stopping the synthesis of DNA and also acting as a photosensitizer. Nowadays, the radiation dose assessment resource (RADAR) method is known as the most common method for absorbed dose calculation. 177Lu was produced by (n, gamma) reaction in a research reactor. Lu-PL3 was prepa...
