Radiopharmaceutical therapy is changing the standard of care in prostate cancer and other malignancies. We previously reported high CD46 expression developed an antibody-drug conjugate immunoPET agent based on YS5 antibody, which targets a tumor-selective epitope. Here, we present preparation, preclinical efficacy, toxicity evaluation [225Ac]DOTA-YS5, radioimmunotherapy antibody.
Ac, a long-lived α-emitter with half-life of 9.92 days, has garnered significant attention as therapeutic radionuclide when coupled monoclonal antibodies and other targeting vectors. Nevertheless, its clinical utility been hampered by potential off-target toxicity, lack optimized chelators for
Although the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is wreaking havoc and resulting in mortality morbidity across planet, novel treatments are urgently needed. Drug repurposing offers an innovative approach this context. We report here new findings on silico potential of several antimalarial drugs for against COVID-19. conducted analyses docking compounds two SARS-CoV-2-specific targets: (1) receptor binding domain spike...
<sup>225</sup>Ac-targeted α-radiotherapy is a promising approach to treating malignancies, including prostate cancer. However, α-emitting isotopes are difficult image because of low administered activities and fraction suitable γ-emissions. The in vivo generator <sup>134</sup>Ce/<sup>134</sup>La has been proposed as potential PET imaging surrogate for the therapeutic nuclides <sup>225</sup>Ac <sup>227</sup>Th. In this report, we detail efficient radiolabeling methods using...
The tumor uptake of large non-targeted nanocarriers primarily occurs through passive extravasation, known as the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Prior studies demonstrated improved 4-arm 40 kDa star polyethylene glycol (StarPEG) polymers for cancer imaging by adding prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting small molecule ligands. To test PSMA-targeted delivery therapeutic efficacy, StarPEG nanodrugs with/without three copies PSMA-targeting ligands, ACUPA, are...
Targeted nanoparticles have been extensively explored for their ability to deliver payload a selective cell population while reducing off-target side effects. The design of actively targeted requires the grafting ligand that specifically binds highly expressed receptor on surface population. Optimizing interactions between targeting and can maximize cellular uptake subsequently improve activity. Here, we evaluated how density presentation ligands dictate nanoparticles. To do so, used...
Abstract Purpose: Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy with an unmet clinical need for improved imaging methods and therapeutics. Recently, we identified CD46 as overexpressed therapeutic target in multiple developed the antibody YS5, which targets cancer-specific epitope on this protein. We further CD46-targeting PET probe [89Zr]Zr-DFO-YS5 [225Ac]Ac-DOTA-YS5 radiopharmaceutical therapy of prostate cancer. These prior studies suggested feasibility antigen theranostic myeloma. Herein,...
