Radiolabeled bombesin derivatives for preclinical oncological imaging

Abstract: Despite efforts, cancer is still one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer-related deaths each year, according to the World Health Organization. Among the strategies to reduce cancer progression and improving its management, implementing early detection technologies is crucial. Based on the fact that several types of cancer cells overexpress surface receptors, small molecule ligands, such as peptides, have been developed to al… Show more

“…Neoplaisa (abnormal growth of cells) usually leads to malignant tumours there by causing the complex disease cancer and spreads to distant sites, various tissues/organs of the body parts thus leading to morbidity and mortality across the globe . According to the world organisation of health estimates, approximately 14.1 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer related deaths were registered in 2012 and is likely to increase by 2030 thus posing a negative impact on the society ,. Conversely, the existing chemotherapy regimens are unsuccessful to deliver the expectations and resistance developed to them, ambiguity about the origin of cancer, process of cell division, metastatic scenery of cancer cells, efficient dispersion of drug to cancer tissues are some of the major hurdles for winning this challenging disorder ,.…”

“…However, the most important advantages of PET imaging over SPECT is the capacity for greater spatial resolution and sensitivity (by approximately two to three orders of magnitude), the ability to detect and record a higher percentage of the emitted events, which leads to improved image quality, improved temporal resolution and the possibility of performing shorter scans. In the recent years, the molecular imaging field has tended toward the use of PET imaging not only because of its sensitive advantage but also due to the increasing availability of PET imaging isotopes and its radiolabeling methods optimization [47]. A great number of PET isotopes have been increasingly used in the last years, ranging from short-lived types such as 15 0, 11 C, 13 N, 82 Rb to radioisotopes with longer half-lives, such as 76 Br, 86 Y, 89 Zr, and 124 I [4850].…”

“…The elevated expression of gastrin releasing peptide receptors (GRPrs) in prostate cancer, breast cancer, and small‐cell and non‐small‐cell lung carcinomas has explicitly favored designing of radiolabeled peptides as GRPr‐specific probes . The enormous presentation of GRP receptors, especially in prostate and breast cancer specimens, has ensured GRPr to be a prospective target for imaging and therapy of these cancers.…”
