Synthesis and evaluation of a novel urea-based 68Ga-complex for imaging PSMA binding in tumor
Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a well-established target for diagnostic and therapeutic applications for prostate cancer. It is know that [68Ga]PSMA 11 ([68Ga]Glu-NH-CO-NH-Lys(Ahx)-HBED-CC) is the most well studied PET imaging agent for detecting over expressed PSMA binding sites of tumors in humans. In an effort to provide new agents with improved characteristics for PET imaging, we report a novel [68Ga]-Glu-NH-CO-NH-Lys(Ahx)-linker-HBED-CC conjugate with a novel O-(carboxymethyl)-L-tyrosine, as the linker group.

Molecular imaging of platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFR α) in papillary thyroid cancer using immuno-PET
Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFR α) was recently identified as a molecular switch for dedifferentiation in thyroid cancer that predicts resistance to therapy as well as recurrence of disease in papillary thyroid cancer. Here we describe the radiolabeling and functional characterization of an imaging probe based on a PDGFRα-specif ic monoclonal antibody (mAb) for immuno-PET imaging of PDGFRα in papillary thyroid cancer.
