Abstract
This study aimed to develop a novel radiotracer using trastuzumab and the long-lived [52Mn]Mn isotope for HER2-targeted therapy selection and monitoring. A new Mn(II) chelator, BPPA, synthesized from a rigid bispyclen platform possessing a picolinate pendant arm, formed a stable and inert Mn(II) complex with favorable relaxation properties. BPPA was converted into a bifunctional chelator (BFC), conjugated to trastuzumab, and labeled with [52Mn]Mn isotope. In comparison to DOTA-GA-trastuzumab, the BPPA-trastuzumab conjugate exhibits a labeling efficiency with [52Mn]Mn approximately 2 orders of magnitude higher. In female CB17 SCID mice bearing 4T1 (HER2-) and MDA-MB-HER2+ (HER2+) xenografts, [52Mn]Mn-BPPA-trastuzumab demonstrated superior uptake in HER2+ cells on day 3, with a 3-4 fold difference observed on day 7. Overall, the hexadentate BPPA chelator proves to be exceptional in binding Mn(II). Upon coupling with trastuzumab as a BFC ligand, it becomes an excellent imaging probe for HER2-positive tumors. [52Mn]Mn-BPPA-trastuzumab enables an extended imaging time window and earlier detection of HER2-positive tumors with superior tumor-to-background contrast.

Abstract
Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1-R) targeting alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone-analogue (α-MSH) biomolecules labelled with α-emitting radiometal seem to be valuable in the targeted radionuclide therapy of MC1-R positive melanoma malignum (MM). Herein is reported the anti-tumor in vivo therapeutic evaluation of MC1-R-affine [213Bi]Bi-DOTA-NAPamide and HOLDamide treatment in MC1-R positive B16-F10 melanoma tumor-bearing C57BL/6J mice. On the 6th, 8th and 10th days post tumor cell inoculation; the treated groups of mice were intravenously injected with approximately 5 MBq of both amide derivatives. Beyond body weight and tumor volume assessment, [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-HOLDamide and NAPamide-based PET/MRI scans, and ex vivo biodistribution studies were executed 30,- and 90 min postinjection. In the PET/MRI imaging studies the B16-F10 tumors were clearly visualized with both 68Ga-labelled tracers, however, significantly lower tumor-to-muscle (T/M) ratios were observed by using [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-HOLDamide. After alpha-radiotherapy treatment the tumor size of the control group was larger relative to both treated cohorts, while the smallest tumor volumes were observed in the NAPamide-treated subclass on the 10th day. Relatively higher [213Bi]Bi-DOTA-NAPamide accumulation in the B16-F10 tumors (%ID/g: 2.71 ± 0.15) with discrete background activity led to excellent T/M ratios, particularly 90 min postinjection. Overall, the therapeutic application of receptor selective [213Bi]Bi-DOTA-NAPamide seems to be feasible in MC1-R positive MM management.

Abstract
Although radiolabeled alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone-analogue NAPamide derivatives are valuable melanoma-specific diagnostic probes, their rapid elimination kinetics and high renal uptake may preclude them from being used in clinical settings. We aimed at improving the pharmacokinetics of radiolabeled DOTA-NAPamide compounds by incorporating a 4-(p-iodo-phenyl)-butanoic acid (IPB) into the molecules. Followed by 68Ga-, 205/206Bi-, and 177Lu-labelling, the radiopharmaceuticals ([68Ga]Ga-DOTA-IPB-NAPamide, [205/206Bi]Bi-DOTA-IPB-NAPamide, [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-IPB-NAPamide) were characterized in vitro. To test the imaging behavior of the IPB-containing probes, B16F10 tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice were subjected to in vivo microPET/microSPECT/CT imaging and ex vivo biodistribution studies. All tracers were stable in vitro, with radiochemical purity exceeding 98%. The use of albumin-binding moiety lengthened the in vivo biological half-life of the IPB-carrying radiopharmaceuticals, resulting in elevated tumor accumulation. Both [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-IPB-NAPamide (5.06 ± 1.08 %ID/g) and [205/206Bi]Bi-DOTA-IPB-NAPamide (4.50 ± 0.98 %ID/g) exhibited higher B16F10 tumor concentrations than their matches without the albumin-binding residue ([68Ga]Ga-DOTA-NAPamide and [205/206Bi]Bi-DOTA-NAPamide: 1.18 ± 0.27 %ID/g and 3.14 ± 0.32; respectively), however; the large amounts of off-target radioactivity do not confirm the benefits of half-life extension for short-lived isotopes. Enhanced [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-IPB-NAPamide tumor uptake even 24 h post-injection proved the advantage of IPB-based prolonged circulation time regarding long-lived radionuclides, although the significant background noise must be addressed in this case as well.

Abstract
Octadentate ligands containing ethyl (H4OCTAPA), cyclohexyl (H4CHXOCTAPA) or cyclopentyl (H4CpOCTAPA) spacers were assessed as chelators for Bi(III)-based radiopharmaceuticals. The H4CHXOCTAPA chelator displays excellent properties, including 205/206Bi-nuclide radiolabelling under mild conditions, excellent stability in serum and in the presence of competing cations or H5DTPA. The poor performance of H4CpOCTAPA appears to be related to the stereochemical activity of the Bi(III) lone pair.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma is a major public health problem with an increasing incidence and mortality in the Caucasian population due to its significant metastatic potential. The early detection of this cancer type by imaging techniques like positron emission tomography acts as an important contributor to the long-term survival. Based on literature data, the radio labelled alpha-MSH analog NAPamide molecule is an appropriate diagnostic tool for the detection of melanoma tumors. Inspired by these facts, a new radiotracer, the [61Cu]Cu-KFTG-NAPamide has been synthesized to exploit the beneficial features of the positron emitter 61Cu and the melanoma specificity of the NAPamide molecule. In this work, we report a new member of the CB-15aneN5 ligand family (KFTG) as the chelator for 61Cu(II) complexation. On the basis of the thorough physico-chemical characterization, the rigid [Cu(KFTG)]+ complex exhibits fast complex formation (t1/2 = 155 s at pH 5.0 and 25 °C) and high inertness (t1/2 = 2.0 h in 5.0 M HCl at 50 °C) as well as moderate superoxide dismutase activity (IC50 = 2.3 μM). Furthermore, the [61Cu]Cu-KFTG-NAPamide possesses outstanding features in the diagnostics of B16-F10 melanoma tumors by PET imaging: (T/M(SUVs) (in vivo): appr. 14, %ID/g: 7 ± 1 and T/M (ex vivo): 315 ± 24 at 180 min).

Abstract
The introduction of a phenolate pendant arm in place of an acetate on AAZTA- and DATA-like ligands resulted in hepta- and hexadentate chelators able to form Ga(III) complexes with thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness higher than that of other Ga(III) complexes based on the parent 6-amino-6-methylperhydro-1,4-diazepine scaffold. In particular, the heptadentate AAZ3A-endoHB with a phenolate arm on an endocyclic N-atom shows a logKGaL of 27.35 and a remarkable resistance to hydroxide coordination up to basic pH (pH>9). This behaviour allows to also improve the kinetic inertness of the complex showing a dissociation half-life (t1/2 ) at pH 7.4 of 76 h. Although also the hexadentate AAZ2A-exoHB chelator forms a stable (logKGaL =24.69) and inert (t1/2 =33 h at pH 7.4) Ga(III) complex, the 68 Ga labelling showed a better radiochemical yield with AAZ3A-endoHB, especially at room temperature. Thus, a bifunctional chelator of AAZ3A-endoHB was synthesized bearing an isothiocyanate group that was conjugated to the N-terminus of a c(RGD) peptide for integrin receptor targeting. Finally, the conjugate was successfully labelled with 68 Ga isotope, and the resulting radiotracer tested for its stability in human serum and then in vivo for targeting B16-F10 tumours with miniPET imaging.

Abstract
Gastrin-releasing peptide receptors (GRPR) are overexpressed in prostate cancer (PCa). Since bombesin analogue aminobenzoic-acid (AMBA) binds to GRPR with high affinity, scandium-44 conjugated AMBA is a promising radiotracer in the PET diagnostics of GRPR positive tumors. Herein, the GRPR specificity of the newly synthetized [44Sc]Sc-NODAGA-AMBA was investigated in vitro and in vivo applying PCa PC-3 xenograft. After the in-vitro assessment of receptor binding, PC-3 tumor-bearing mice were injected with [44Sc]Sc/[68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-AMBA (in blocking studies with bombesin) and in-vivo PET examinations were performed to determine the radiotracer uptake in standardized uptake values (SUV). 44Sc/68Ga-labelled NODAGA-AMBA was produced with high molar activity (approx. 20 GBq/µmoL) and excellent radiochemical purity. The in-vitro accumulation of [44Sc]Sc-NODAGA-AMBA in PC-3 cells was approximately 25-fold higher than that of the control HaCaT cells. Relatively higher uptake was found in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo in the same tumor with the 44Sc-labelled probe compared to [68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-AMBA. The GRPR specificity of [44Sc]Sc-NODAGA-AMBA was confirmed by significantly (p ≤ 0.01) decreased %ID and SUV values in PC-3 tumors after bombesin pretreatment. The outstanding binding properties of the novel [44Sc]Sc-NODAGA-AMBA to GRPR outlines its potential to be a valuable radiotracer in the imaging of GRPR-positive PCa.

Abstract
A new pyclen-3,9-diacetate derivative ligand (H23,9-OPC2A) was synthesized possessing an etheric O-atom opposite to the pyridine ring, to improve the dissociation kinetics of its Mn(II) complex (pyclen = 3,6,9,15-tetraazabicyclo(9.3.1)pentadeca-1(15),11,13-triene). The new ligand is less basic than the N-containing analogue (H23,9-PC2A) due to the non-protonable O-atom. In spite of its lower basicity, the conditional stability of the [Mn(3,9-OPC2A)] (pMn = −log(Mn(II)), cL = cMn(II) = 0.01 mM. pH = 7.4) remains unaffected (pMn = 8.69), compared to the [Mn(3,9-PC2A)] (pMn = 8.64). The [Mn(3,9-OPC2A)] possesses one water molecule, having a lower exchange rate with bulk solvents (kex298 = 5.3 ± 0.4 × 107 s−1) than [Mn(3,9-PC2A)] (kex298 = 1.26 × 108 s−1). These mild differences are rationalized by density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. The acid assisted dissociation of [Mn(3,9-OPC2A)] is considerably slower (k1 = 2.81 ± 0.07 M−1 s−1) than that of the complexes of diacetates or bisamides of various 12-membered macrocycles and the parent H23,9-PC2A. The [Mn(3,9-OPC2A)] is inert in rat/human serum as confirmed by 52Mn labeling (nM range), as well as by relaxometry (mM range). However, a 600-fold excess of EDTA (pH = 7.4) or a mixture of essential metal ions, propagated some transchelation/transmetalation in 7 days. The H23,9-OPC2A is labeled efficiently with 52Mn at elevated temperatures, yet at 37 °C the parent H23,9-PC2A performs slightly better. Ultimately, the H23,9-OPC2A shows advantageous features for further ligand designs for bifunctional chelators.

Abstract
In recent years Auger electron emitters have been suggested as promising candidates for radiotherapy with no side effects in cancer treatment. In this work we report a detailed coordination chemistry study of [Sb(PCTA)] (PCTA: 3,6,9,15-tetraazabicyclo[9.3.1]pentadeca-1(15),11,13-triene-3,6,9-triacetic acid), a macrocyclic aminopolycarboxylate-type complex of antimony(III), whose 119Sb isotope could be a suitable low-energy electron emitter for radiotherapy. The thermodynamic stability of the chelate obtained by pH-potentiometry and UV-vis spectrophotometry is high enough (log K[Sb(PCTA)] = 23.2(1)) to prevent the hydrolysis of the metal ion near physiological pH. The formation of [Sb(PCTA)] is confirmed by NMR and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry measurements in solution; furthermore, the structure of [Sb(PCTA)]·NaCl·3H2O and [Sb(PCTA)]·HCl·3H2O is described by X-ray and density functional theory calculations. Consequently, the [Sb(PCTA)] is the first thermodynamically stable antimony(III) complex bearing polyamino-polycarboxylate macrocyclic platform. Our results demonstrate the potential of rigid (pyclen derivative) ligands as chelators for future applications of Sb(III) in a targeted radiotherapy based on the 119Sb isotope.

Abstract
Radiolabeled peptides possessing an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif are widely used radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging of tumor angiogenesis due to their high affinity and selectivity to αvβ3 integrin. This receptor is overexpressed in tumor and tumor endothelial cells in the case of numerous cancer cell lines, therefore, it is an excellent biomarker for cancer diagnosis. The galectin-3 protein is also highly expressed in tumor cells and N-acetyllactosamine is a well-established ligand of this receptor. We have developed a synthetic method to prepare a lactosamine-containing radiotracer, namely 68Ga-NODAGA-LacN-E[c(RGDfK)]2, for cancer diagnosis. First, a lactosamine derivative with azido-propyl aglycone was synthetized. Then, NODAGA-NHS was attached to the amino group of this lactosamine derivative. The obtained compound was conjugated to an E[c(RGDfK)]2 peptide with a strain-promoted click reaction. We have accomplished the radiolabeling of the synthetized NODAGA-LacN-E[c(RGDfK)]2 precursor with a positron-emitting 68Ga isotope (radiochemical yield of >95%). The purification of the labeled compound with solid-phase extraction resulted in a radiochemical purity of >99%. Subsequently, the octanol–water partition coefficient (log P) of the labeled complex was determined to be −2.58. In addition, the in vitro stability of 68Ga-NODAGA-LacN-E[c(RGDfK)]2 was investigated and it was found that it was stable under the examined conditions.

Abstract
In the frame of "precision medicine", the scandium radionuclides have recently received considerable interest, providing personalised adjustment of radiation characteristics to optimize the efficiency of medical care or therapeutic benefit for particular groups of patients. Radionuclides of scandium, namely scandium-43 and scandium-44 (43/44Sc) as positron emitters and scandium-47 (47Sc), beta-radiation emitter, seem to fit ideally into the concept of theranostic pair. This paper aims to review the work on scandium isotopes production, coordination chemistry, radiolabeling, preclinical studies and the very first clinical studies. Finally, standardized procedures for scandium-based radiopharmaceuticals have been proposed as a basis to pave the way for elaboration of the Ph.Eur. monographs for perspective scandium radionuclides.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this work was to demonstrate the suitability of AAZTA conjugated to PSMA inhibitor (B28110) labeled with scandium-44 as a new PET tracer for diagnostic imaging of prostate cancer. BACKGROUND Nowadays, scandium-44 has received significant attention as a potential radionuclide with favorable characteristics for PET applications. A polyaminopolycarboxylate heptadentate ligand based on a 1,4-diazepine scaffold (AAZTA) has been thoroughly studied as chelator for Gd3+ ions for MRI applications. The excellent results of the equilibrium, kinetic, and labeling studies led to a preliminary assessment of the in vitro and in vivo behavior of [44Sc][Sc-(AAZTA)]- and two derivatives, i.e., [44Sc][Sc (CNAAZTA-BSA)] and [44Sc][Sc (CNAAZTA-cRGDfK)]. RESULTS B28110 was synthesized by hybrid approach, combining solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and solution chemistry to obtain high purity (97%) product with an overall yield of 9%. Subsequently, the radioactive labeling was performed with scandium-44 produced from natural calcium target in cyclotron, in good radiochemical yields (RCY) under mild condition (pH 4, 298 K). Stability study in human plasma showed good RCP% of [44Sc]Sc-B28110 up to 24 h (94.32%). In vivo PET/MRI imaging on LNCaP tumor-bearing mice showed high tracer accumulation in the tumor regions as early as 20 min post-injection. Ex vivo biodistribution studies confirmed that the accumulation of 44Sc-PSMA-617 was two-fold lower than that of the radiolabeled B28110 probes. CONCLUSIONS This work demonstrated the suitability of B28110 for the complexation with scandium-44 at room temperature and the high performance of the resulting new tracer based on AAZTA chelator for the diagnosis of prostate cancer using PET.

Abstract
We have discovered five bismuth(III)-containing polyoxopalladates (POPs) which were fully characterized by solution and solid-state physicochemical techniques: the cube-shaped [BiPd12O32(AsPh)8]5- (BiPd12AsL), [BiPd12O32(AsC6H4N3)8]5- (BiPd12AsLN), and [BiPd12O32(AsC6H4COO)8]13- (BiPd12AsLC) as well as the star-shaped [BiPd15O40(PO)10H6]11- (BiPd15P) and [BiPd15O40(PPh)10]7- (BiPd15PL), respectively. The organically modified capping groups phenylarsonate, p-azidophenylarsonate, and p-carboxyphenylarsonate were chosen as the azido (-N3) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups open up opportunities to covalently conjugate (via click reaction, amide coupling, etc.) with targeting vectors. The synthesis of p-azidophenylarsonate is reported here for the first time. The effects of the BiIII template and the organoarsonate vs -posphonate capping groups on the resulting POP shape (cube vs star) are discussed. The 209Bi NMR (I = 9/2) spectra of BiPd12AsL, BiPd12AsLN, and BiPd12AsLC revealed narrow peaks (ν1/2 ∼ 200 Hz) at 5470 ppm with a longitudinal relaxation time in the millisecond range (at 8.46 T). The absence of a quadrupolar relaxation contribution could be attributed to the allocation of BiIII in the highly symmetrical cuboid POP host cage. Similar peaks were absent in the 209Bi-NMR spectra of the star-shaped POPs BiPd15P and BiPd15PL due to the less symmetric coordination environment around the central BiIII ion. Further, 205/206Bi-radiolabeled POPs have been synthesized by incorporating a 205/206BiIII ion in the center of the POP structures. Carrier-free 205/206Bi radioisotopes (as surrogates of α-emitting 213Bi) were incorporated into the POP host-cage for the preparation of 205/206BiPd12AsL, 205/206BiPd12AsLN, 205/206BiPd12AsLC, and 205/206BiPd15PL, respectively. The radiometal incorporation was complete (>99% radiochemical yield) in 10 min according to radio-thin-layer chromatography. The 205/206BiPd12AsL polyanion was purified by solid-phase extraction. The incubation in rat serum showed the formation of a 205/206BiPd12AsL-protein aggregate.

Abstract
The radiosynthesis, as well as the in vivo and ex vivo biodistribution of the 11 C radiolabelled 3-(4,5-diphenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)propanal oxime (6, [11 C]SZV 1287) are reported. SZV 1287 is a novel semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) inhibitor and a promising candidate to be a novel analgesic for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Its radiolabelling was developed via a four-step radiosynthesis which started from the reaction of a Grignard reagent with [11 C]CO2 to produce [11 C]oxaprozin (3). In the next step this carboxylic acid 3 was directly reduced to yield the corresponding aldehyde, which was then converted into the oxime. [11 C]SZV 1287 was administered to male NMRI mice. The animals were examined with dynamic PET/MR imaging for 90 minutes. Biodistribution studies were performed at 10, 30, 60 and 120 minutes post injection. The accumulation of the labelled compound was observed in the brain of the animals. The main excretion pathway was found to be through the liver and intestines. These studies provide preliminary information for pharmacokinetic characterization of the SZV 1287.

Abstract
Hemoglobin, heme and iron are implicated in the progression of atherosclerosis. Therefore, we investigated whether the hydrophobic fungal iron chelator siderophore, desferricoprogen (DFC) inhibits atherosclerosis. DFC reduced atherosclerotic plaque formation in ApoE-/- mice on an atherogenic diet. It lowered the plasma level of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and inhibited lipid peroxidation in aortic roots. The elevated collagen/elastin content and enhanced expression of adhesion molecule VCAM-1 were decreased. DFC diminished oxidation of Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) and plaque lipids catalyzed by heme or hemoglobin. Formation of foam cells, uptake of oxLDL by macrophages, upregulation of CD36 and increased expression of TNF-α were reduced by DFC in macrophages. TNF-triggered endothelial cell activation (vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs), E-selectin) and increased adhesion of monocytes to endothelium were attenuated. The increased endothelial permeability and intracellular gap formation provoked by TNF-α was also prevented by DFC. DFC acted as a cytoprotectant in endothelial cells and macrophages challenged with a lethal dose of oxLDL and lowered the expression of stress-responsive heme oxygenase-1 as sublethal dose was employed. Saturation of desferrisiderophore with iron led to the loss of the beneficial effects. We demonstrated that DFC accumulated within the atheromas of the aorta in ApoE-/- mice. DFC represents a novel therapeutic approach to control the progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the chemical and surface wettability changes of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) induced by a 2.0 MeV He(+) beam irradiation. The chemical changes created in PDMS were characterized by universal attenuated total reflectance infrared (UATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, while the changes of the wettability were determined by contact angle measurements. In a separate analysis, hydrogen depletion was also investigated with a 1.6 MeV He(+) beam by applying the elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry techniques simultaneously. The ERDA results showed that the hydrogen content of PDMS decreased irreversibly, which means that volatile products were formed under radiolysis, such as hydrogen or methane. The results were completed with UATR-FTIR measurements. We propose a complete reaction mechanism for the processes taking place in PDMS. These ion beam induced processes, such as chain scissions, cross-linking, and depletion of small molecular weight fragments, lead to the formation of a silica-like final product (SiO(x)). The significant chemical changes at the surface influence the wettability of PDMS, making it considerably more hydrophilic. The penetration depth of the 2.0 MeV He(+) ions is significantly higher compared to that of other surface modification techniques, which makes the modified layer thick and homogeneous; on the other hand, it is easily controllable by the energy of the incident ions.
