Abstract
In this article, we present the synthesis and characterization of new acyclic pyridine-containing polyaminocarboxylate ligands H4aPyta and H6aPyha, which differ in structural rigidity and the number of chelating groups. Their abilities to form complexes with Cu2+, Ga3+, Y3+, and Bi3+ cations, as well as the stability of the complexes, were evaluated by potentiometric titration method, radiolabeling with the corresponding radionuclides, in vitro studies, mass spectrometry, and HPLC. The structures of the resulting complexes were determined using NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. The results obtained made it possible to evaluate the influence of the structural features of the complexes on their stability. The developed chelators H4aPyta and H6aPyha were proved to be promising for further research in the field of radiopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The production possibility of 161Tb and 155Tb by irradiating of natural dysprosium with gamma rays obtained by decelerating an electron beam with an energy of 55 MeV has been demonstrated experimentally. The yield of 161Tb was 14.4 × 103 Bq × μA-1 × h-1 × cm2 × gDy2O3-1. Simultaneously, upon irradiation, 155Dy is formed with the yield of 25 × 103 Bq × μA-1 × h-1 × cm2 × gDy2O3-1, which leads to the formation of 1.6 × 103 Bq × μA-1 × h-1 × cm2 × gDy2O3-1 of 155Tb. It has been shown that the isolation of terbium radioisotopes from tens of mg of dysprosium target can be achieved by extraction chromatography, and final separation yield was 39%. The impurity of 160Tb is 7.3% of the 161Tb activity at EOB.

Abstract
RadioNuclide Therapy (RNT) in nuclear medicine is a cancer treatment based on the administration of radioactive substances that specifically target cancer cells in the patient. These radiopharmaceuticals consist of tumor-targeting vectors labeled with β-, α, or Auger electron-emitting radionuclides. In this framework, 67Cu is receiving increasing interest as it provides β--particles accompanied by low-energy γ radiation. The latter allows to perform Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) imaging for detecting the radiotracer distribution for an optimized treatment plan and follow-up. Furthermore, 67Cu could be used as therapeutic partner of the β+-emitters 61Cu and 64Cu, both currently under study for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging, paving the way to the concept of theranostics. The major barrier to a wider use of 67Cu-based radiopharmaceutical is its lack of availability in quantities and qualities suitable for clinical applications. A possible but challenging solution is the proton irradiation of enriched 70Zn targets, using medical cyclotrons equipped with a solid target station. This route was investigated at the Bern medical cyclotron, where an 18 MeV cyclotron is in operation together with a solid target station and a 6-m-long beam transfer line. The cross section of the involved nuclear reactions were accurately measured to optimize the production yield and the radionuclidic purity. Several production tests were performed to confirm the obtained results.

Abstract
A synthetic procedure for the synthesis of azacrown ethers with a combination of pendant arms has been developed and the synthesized ligand, characterized by various techniques, was studied. The prepared benzoazacrown ether with hybrid pendant arms and its complexes with copper and lead cations were studied in terms of biomedical applications. Similarly to a fully acetate analog, the new one binds both cations with close stability constants, despite the decrease in both constants. The calculated geometry of the complexes correlate with the data from X-ray absorption and NMR spectroscopy. Coordination of both cations differs due to the difference between the ionic radii. However, these chelation modes provide effective shielding of cations in both cases, that was shown by the stability of their complexes in the biologically relevant media towards transchelation and transmetallation.

Abstract
Is the 67Cu production worldwide feasible for expanding preclinical and clinical studies? How can we face the ingrowing demands of this emerging and promising theranostic radionuclide for personalized therapies? This review looks at the different production routes, including the accelerator- and reactor-based ones, providing a comprehensive overview of the actual 67Cu supply, with brief insight into its use in non-clinical and clinical studies. In addition to the most often explored nuclear reactions, this work focuses on the 67Cu separation and purification techniques, as well as the target material recovery procedures that are mandatory for the economic sustainability of the production cycle. The quality aspects, such as radiochemical, chemical, and radionuclidic purity, with particular attention to the coproduction of the counterpart 64Cu, are also taken into account, with detailed comparisons among the different production routes. Future possibilities related to new infrastructures are included in this work, as well as new developments on the radiopharmaceuticals aspects.

Abstract
Copper-based radiopharmaceuticals are of high interest these days owing to the decay properties of copper radioisotopes. In contrast, labeled zinc compounds have been less studied for applications in nuclear medicine. In this study, the stability of labeled zinc and copper complexes with two azacrown ether ligands was investigated and compared. Then, the in vitro and in vivo stability of the studied zinc complexes was demonstrated, with the complexes showing promise for biomedical applications. In contrast, analogous copper complexes quickly dissociated in the presence of serum proteins. Furthermore, a simple method for the production of radiochemically pure 65Zn was proposed, and the opportunity for its use as a surrogate radionuclide for research into potential zinc-containing radiopharmaceuticals was demonstrated.

Abstract
Abstract
Despite its insufficient availability, Copper-67 is currently attracting much attention for its enormous potential for cancer therapy as theranostic radionuclide. This work aims to accurately measure the unexplored cross section 70Zn(p,x)67Cu in the energy range 45–70 MeV and to evaluate its potential advantages in the case of high-intensity proton beams provided by compact cyclotrons. Thin target foils of enriched 70Zn were manufactured by lamination at the INFN-LNL and irradiated at the ARRONAX facility using the stacked-foils method. A radiochemical procedure for the separation of Cu, Ga and Zn contaminants and the isolation of 67Cu from the irradiated material was developed. The efficiency of the chemical processing was determined for each foil by monitoring the activity of selected tracer radionuclides (61Cu, 66Ga and 69mZn) through γ-spectrometry. Experimental data of the 70Zn(p,x)67Cu, 64Cu, 67Ga, 66Ga, 69mZn, 65Zn cross sections were measured for the first time in the energy range 45–70 MeV and compared with the theoretical results obtained by using the TALYS code. The 67Cu production yield by using enriched 70Zn thick targets was compared with the results obtained by using 68Zn targets in the same irradiation conditions.
