Metalloprobes for functional monitoring of tumour multidrug resistance by nuclear imaging

Abstract: Cancer chemotherapy has been used since the early 1950s and still remains one the major therapeutic options for many malignant tumours. A major obstacle to successful cancer chemotherapy is drug resistance. Frequently resistance is intrinsic to the cancer, but as therapy becomes more effective, acquired resistance has also become more frequent. One form of resistance, named multidrug resistance (MDR), is responsible for the failure of tumours to respond to a wide spectrum of chemotherapeutic agents. The in viv… Show more

“…It is well know that cancer cells and tumours also maintain a more negative potential owing to increased metabolic requirements, and as a result, there is an increased accumulation of 99m Tcsestamibi, 99m Tc-tetrofosmin and 99m Tc-TMEOP in malignant tumours. This feature permits the use of these radiotracers for imaging cancers of the breast, lung, brain and parathyroid adenomas (reviewed in Mendes et al, 2011).…”

“…Functional molecular imaging of MDR using single-photon emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography (PET) can help to identify multidrug-resistant tumors and thus decide alternative therapeutic regimens for patients who are resistant to drugs used in the chemotherapeutic modality. 9,10 Radiolabeled colchicine can be a suitable molecular probe for imaging of Pgp transport activity in vivo and thus help in early diagnosis of MDR. The potential of colchicine for tumor imaging and assessing antiangiogenic effect has been very well documented in the use of 99m Tc-ethylenedicysteine colchicine ( 99m Tc-EC Colchicine).…”

“…The emergence of several new diseases and multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial strains has accelerated the drug discovery program for the search of novel drugs. Advancements in science and technology have facilitated the development of early diagnosis, better prevention, and advanced treatment options to control the disease [1]. Antibiotics are known as one of the major therapeutic agents employed in the treatment of infectious diseases.…”
