Zirkonium-89 (89Zr) Radiopharmaceutics Developed for Immuno-PET

Abstract

A wide variety and comprehensive research are being conducted on the development of molecular imaging agents used in imaging cancer tissue. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals consist of a positron-emitting radionuclide and a molecular structure. 89Zr-labeled monoclonal antibodies (mAb), peptides, nanoparticles, proteins, and other compounds, called 89Zr-Immuno-PET, have been used in cancerous tissue imaging. In this review, the potential of 89Zr radionuclide-labeled pharmaceuticals, which are widely used in Immuno-PET imaging with their long half-life, in pre-clinical and clinical studies conducted in the last five years were reviewed and discussed.

Immüno-PET İçin Geliştirilen Zirkonyum-89 (89Zr) Radyofarmasötikleri

Abstract

Kanser dokusunun görüntülenmesinde kullanılan moleküler görüntüleme ajanlarının geliştirilmesi hakkında çok çeşitli ve kapsamlı araştırmalar yapılmaktadır. Pozitron Emisyon Tomografi (PET) radyofarmasötikleri, pozitron yayan bir radyonüklidin ve bir moleküler yapıya bağlanması ile oluşturulur. 89Zr-Immüno-PET olarak adlandırılan,89Zr işaretli monoklonal antikorlar (mAb), peptitler, nanopartiküller, proteinler ve diğer bileşikler kanserli doku görüntülenmesinde kullanılmaktatır. Bu derlemede, uzun yarı ömrü ile Immüno-PET görüntülemede yaygın olarak kullanılan 89Zr radyonüklidi ile işaretli farmasötiklerin son beş yılda yapılan klinik öncesi ve klinik çalışamalardaki potansiyeli gözden geçirilmiş ve tartışılmıştır.
