Development of copper based drugs, radiopharmaceuticals and medical materials

Abstract: Copper is one of the most interesting elements for various biomedical applications. Copper compounds show vast array of biological actions, including anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, biocidal and other. It also offers a selection of radioisotopes, suitable for nuclear imaging and radiotherapy. Quick progress in nanotechnology opened new possibilities for design of copper based drugs and medical materials. To date, copper has not found many uses in medicine, but number of ongoing research, as well as prec… Show more

“…Furthermore, 67 Cu releases g-radiation directly following the b 2 -decay; thus, it can be used for SPECT, 51 but its production is difficult and expensive. 52 The positron emitters 86 Y and 124 I have been described controversially as PET nuclides since besides high b 1 -radiation energy they emit multiple highenergy g photons that cause so-called multiple coincidences disturbing PET imaging quality. However, different correction methods allow improved quantitative imaging.…”
