Unimolecular triple incretins, combining the activity of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and glucagon (GCG), have demonstrated reduction in body weight improved glucose control rodent models. We developed SAR441255, a synthetic peptide agonist GLP-1, GCG, GIP receptors, structurally based on exendin-4 sequence. SAR441255 displays high potency with balanced activation all three target receptors. In animal models, metabolic outcomes were...

A straightforward labeling using generator produced positron emitting (68)Ga, which provides high quality images, may result in kit type production of PET radiopharmaceuticals and make examinations possible also at centers lacking accelerators. The introduction macrocyclic bifunctional chelators that would provide fast (68)Ga-complexation room temperature simplify even further tracer preparation open wide possibilities for (68)Ga-labeling fragile potent macromolecules. Gallium-68 has the...

Abstract Unimolecular dual agonists for the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) and glucagon (GCGR) are emerging as a potential new class of important therapeutics in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Reliable quantitative assessments vivo occupancy on each would improve understanding efficacy this drugs. In study we investigated target agonist SAR425899 at GLP1R pancreas GCGR liver by Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT). Patients with T2D were examined [ 68 Ga]Ga-DO3A-Tuna-2...

68Ga-DOTATOC and 68Ga-DOTATATE are radiolabeled somatostatin analogs used for the diagnosis of receptor-expressing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), SUV measurements suggested treatment monitoring. However, changes in net influx rate (Ki) may better reflect effects than those SUV, accordingly there is a need to compute parametric images showing Ki at voxel level. The aim this study was evaluate methods computation by comparison volume interest (VOI)-based assess image contrast terms...
