We report the synthesis of three optical probes (Eu3+⊂1, Eu3+⊂2, and Eu3+⊂3) having a luminescent Eu complex (signaling unit) bonded in different positions to folic acid (FA), folate receptor (FR) targeting unit. The structures two regioisomers Eu3+⊂1 Eu3+⊂2 were assigned by mass spectrometric experiments. properties stability these assessed phosphate-buffered saline, cell culture medium, rat serum, cellular lysate, results indicated that they are chemically photophysically stable....
A library of mononuclear [Ga III (DTC) 3 ] complexes, where DTC is an alicyclic or a linear dithiocarbamate chelator, with marked cytotoxic activity reported. Results pave the way for development new anticancer agents.
99mTc(N)-DBODC5 is a cationic mixed compound under clinical investigation as potential myocardial imaging agent. In spite of this, analogously to the other 99mTc-agents, presents relatively low first-pass extraction. Thus, modification 99mTc(N)-DBODC(5) direct increase its extraction keeping unaltered favorable properties would be desirable. This work describes synthesis and biological evaluation series novel 99mTc-nitrido complexes, general formula [99mTcN(DTC-Ln)(PNP)]+ (DTC-Ln= alicyclic...
New integrin-selective molecules suitable for therapeutic or imaging purposes are currently of interest in development effective personalized medical platforms. RGDechi is a bifunctional peptide selective integrin αvβ3. Herein, and three truncated derivatives functionalized with cysteine (1-4) were synthesized labeled the [99mTc][Tc(N)PNP43]-synthon ([PNP43 = (CH3)2P(CH2)2N(C2H4OCH3)(CH2)2P(CH3)2]) (99mTc1-4) as basis recognition.

Abstract The clinical translation of theranostic 177 Lu-radiopharmaceuticals based on inhibitors the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has demonstrated positive responses in patients with advanced prostate cancer (PCa). However, challenges still remain, particularly regarding their pharmacokinetic and dosimetric properties. We developed a potential PSMA-immunotheranostic agent by conjugation single-chain variable fragment IgGD2B antibody (scFvD2B) to DOTA, obtain Lu-labelled better...
The synthesis and characterization of a new series neutral, six-coordinated mixed-ligand compounds [MIII(PS)2(L)] (M = Re; 99Tc), where PS is bis(arylalkyl)- or trialkylphosphinothiolate L dithiocarbamate, are reported. Stable complexes were easily synthesized, in good yield, starting from precursors the metal was different oxidation states (III, V, VII), involving ligand-exchange and/or redox-substitution reactions. characterized by elemental analysis, positive-ion electrospray ionization...
