“…In contrast, small peptides typically exhibit favorable PK profiles characterized by rapid clearance from tissues and efficient tumor penetration [ 105 , 187 , 188 , 189 , 190 , 191 , 192 ]. As such, peptide-based radiopharmaceuticals have emerged as the most promising candidates for molecular imaging in the clinical setting [ 193 , 194 , 195 , 196 , 197 , 198 , 199 , 200 , 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 ]. Cyclic peptides, in particular, offer enhanced structural stability and resistance to enzymatic degradation compared with linear peptides, greatly enhancing their efficacy in radiological diagnosis and therapy [ 207 , 208 , 209 , 210 , 211 , 212 , 213 , 214 , 215 ].…”
