The complexation kinetics of the novel chelates...
A new bifunctional ligand 3p-C-DEPA was synthesized and evaluated for use in targeted α-radioimmunotherapy. efficiently prepared via regiospecific ring opening of an aziridinium ion conjugated with trastuzumab. The 3p-C-DEPA-trastuzumab conjugate extremely rapid binding (205/6)Bi, the corresponding (205/6)Bi-3p-C-DEPA-trastuzumab complex stable human serum. Biodistribution studies were performed to evaluate vivo stability tumor targeting bearing athymic mice. displayed excellent as evidenced...
Electrospray ionization (ESI)/quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry is used to evaluate the heavy metal binding selectivities of five caged crown ethers and two polyether reference compounds in methanol solution. The preferences for Hg2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Cu2+ were analyzed by comparison ESI spectral intensities with aim developing this method rapid screening new synthetic ligands. cage preferentially bind except cryptand derivative, which favors Pb2+. preference Hg2+ stems from favorable...
The structurally novel bifunctional ligands C-NETA and C-NE3TA, each possessing both acyclic macrocyclic moieties, were prepared evaluated as potential chelates for radioimmunotherapy (RIT) targeted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Heptadentate C-NE3TA was fortuitously discovered during the preparation of C-NETA. An optimized synthetic method to including purification polar tailing reaction intermediates, tert-butyl (2) (3) using semiprep HPLC developed. new Gd(III) complexes contrast...

The great promise of iron depletion as a therapeutic strategy for various diseases, including overload, cancers, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's tuberculosis, HIV, and fungal malaria infection, has stimulated research on the development chelators agents. In November 2005, FDA approved deferasirox (ICL670A; Exjade®), first once-daily oral drug treatment chronic overload. So far, five chelators, deferoxamine, deferiprone, deferasirox, dexrazorane ciclopirox, have been use in anticancer or...
An antibody-targeted radiation therapy (radioimmunotherapy, RIT) employs a bifunctional ligand that can effectively hold cytotoxic metal with clinically acceptable complexation kinetics and stability while being attached to tumor-specific antibody. Clinical exploration of the therapeutic potential RIT has been challenged by absence adequate ligand, critical component for enhancing efficacy cancer therapy. To address this deficiency, C-NETA in unique structural class possessing both...
