Pharmacokinetic Study of Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles HY-088 in Rats.

Background And Objective: HY-088 injection is an ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (USPIOs) composed of iron oxide crystals coated with polyacrylic acid (PAA) on the surface. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, and mass balance of HY-088 injection.

Methods: The pharmacokinetics of [Fe]-HY-088 and [C]-HY-088 were investigated in 48 SD rats by intravenous injection of 8.

Biodistribution of 89Zr-oxine-labeled human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells by micro-PET/computed tomography imaging in Sprague-Dawley rats.

Purpose: To develop a method for labeling human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) with 89Zr-oxine to characterize the biodistribution characteristics of hMSCs in normal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats in real-time by micro-PET-computed tomography (micro-PET/CT) imaging.

Methods: 89Zr-oxine complex was synthesized from 89Zr-oxalate and 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine). After hMSCs were labeled with the 89Zr-oxine complex, the radioactivity retention, viability, proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, morphology, and phenotype of labeled cells were assessed.

Efficient Synthesis of Glutamate Peptide-Estradiol Conjugate for Imaging Estrogen Receptor-Positive Diseases.

Molecular imaging of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) pathway-activated system serves the basis of ER+ disease management such as cancers and endometriosis. ER+ patients have better response to endocrine therapy and survive twice as long as negative ER patients. However, tumor resistance resulting from clinical used aromatase inhibitors and antiestrogens is unpredictable.
