Abstract Actinium-225 is a promising isotope for targeted-α therapy. Unfortunately, progress in developing chelators medicinal applications has been hindered by limited understanding of actinium chemistry. This knowledge gap primarily associated with handling actinium, as it highly radioactive and short supply. Hence, Ac III reactivity often inferred from the lanthanides minor actinides (that is, Am, Cm), success. Here we overcome these challenges characterize HCl solutions using X-ray...

Metal aquo ions occupy central roles in all equilibria that define metal complexation natural environments. These complexes are used to establish thermodynamic metrics (i.e., stability constants) for predicting binding, which essential defining critical parameters associated with aqueous speciation, chelation, vivo transport, and so on. As such, establishing the fundamental chemistry of actinium(III) ion (Ac-aquo ion, Ac(H2O)x3+) is current efforts develop 225Ac [t1/2 = 10.0(1) d] as a...
A major chemical challenge facing implementation of 225Ac in targeted alpha therapy—an emerging technology that has potential for treatment disease—is identifying an chelator is compatible with vivo applications. It unclear how to tailor a Ac binding because coordination chemistry poorly defined. Most inferred from radiochemical experiments carried out on microscopic scales. Of the few compounds have been characterized spectroscopically, success only reported simple inorganic ligands. Toward...

Abstract Accelerator production of 225 Ac addresses the global supply deficiency currently inhibiting clinical trials from establishing Ac's therapeutic utility, provided that accelerator product is sufficient radionuclidic purity for patient use. Two proton activation experiments utilizing stacked foil technique between 40 and 200 MeV were employed to study likely co-formation radionuclides expected be especially challenging separate Ac. Foils assayed by nondestructive γ -spectroscopy α...
Abstract Rhenium-186g ( T 1/2 = 89.2 h) is a β − emitter suitable for therapeutic applications. Current production methods rely on reactor via 185 Re( n , γ ) which results in low specific activities, thereby limiting its use. Production by p d activation of enriched 186 W 186g Re product with higher activity, allowing it to be used targeted therapy limited receptors. A test target consisting pressed, sintered nat WO 3 was proton irradiated at Los Alamos (LANL-IPF) evaluate yield and...
