introduction: 64cu-pyruvaldehyde-bis(n4-methylthiosemicarbazone) (64cu-ptsm)‍ is one of the most important copper radiopharmaceuticals used in clinical experiments. methods: in this work, copper-64 (t1/2=12.33 h) production has been presented followed by the synthesis of the complexing agent, ptsm, and its structure was confirmed by common spectroscopic methods followed by radiolabeling with 64...

      In the present study, aqueous solutions of some copper-complexing ligands were screened for their cytotoxicity using brine shrimp lethality test. Among the ligands tested, diacetyl-bis(N4-methylthiosemicarbazones) (ATSM) proved to be the most safe and non-toxic compound (2% lethality at 10 ppm), while pyruvaldehyde Bis(N4-methyl)thiosemicarbazone (P...

Rapid multi-tracer PET, where two to three PET tracers are rapidly scanned with staggered injections, can recover certain imaging measures for each tracer based on differences in tracer kinetics and decay. We previously showed that single-tracer imaging measures can be recovered to a certain extent from rapid dual-tracer (62)Cu - PTSM (blood flow) + (62)Cu - ATSM (hypoxia) tumor imaging. In thi...
