Synthesis of Novel Plant-Derived Encapsulated Radiolabeled Compounds for the Diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease and the Evaluation of Biological Effects with In Vitro/In Vivo Methods.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of individuals globally. It is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in Substantia Nigra pars compacta (SNc) and striatum. Neuroimaging techniques such as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) help diagnosing PD.

The Radiolabeling of [161Tb]-PSMA-617 by a Novel Radiolabeling Method and Preclinical Evaluation by In Vitro/In Vivo Methods.

Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common type of cancer in elderly men, with a positive correlation with age. As resistance to treatment has developed, particularly in the progressive stage of the disease and in the presence of microfocal multiple bone metastases, new generation radionuclide therapies have emerged. Recently, [Tb], a radiolanthanide introduced for treating micrometastatic foci, has shown great promise for treating prostate cancer.

Bacterial production of ciprofloxacin and potential usage as a radiotracer.

Infectious diseases caused by bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics have increased in prevalence, necessitating new methods for their diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of synthetic ciprofloxacin to that of organic ciprofloxacin produced by cave microorganisms, as well as to evaluate the feasibility of using organic ciprofloxacin radiolabeled with technetium-99m as an imaging agent. Organic ciprofloxacin produced by cave bacteria isolated from sediment taken from the dark zone of Antalya's "Yark Sinkhole," (Turkey's 14th deepest cave), was purified using high-performance liquid chromatography.

Radiolabeling of Zonisamide for a Diagnostic Perspective.

Objective: Epilepsy is one of the oldest and the most common chronic neurological diseases. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are the backbone of epilepsy treatment. However, epileptogenesis has not been fully elucidated.
