Preparation and evaluation of radioiodinated avanafil: A novel potential radiopharmaceutical for the diagnostic evaluation of erectile dysfunction.

Avanafil, a selective second-generation phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, was successfully labeled with iodine-125 via electrophilic and different factors affecting the labeling efficiency were studied. The labeled compound exhibited in-vitro stability of more than 24 h with a maximum labeling yield of up to 98.4 ± 1.

Preparation and characterization of poly nano-cerium chloride for Mo production based on neutron activation reactions.

Different molar ratios of the cerium trichloride heptahydrate to isopropyl alcohol (1:2, 1:3 and 1:5) were studied to choose the optimum ratio, and studied the reaction temperature effect (80, 90 and 100 °C) to determine the optimum temperature for the preparation of poly nano cerium chloride (PNCC). The PNCC-1 was selected among the prepared PNCC batches based on the Mo sorption properties that confirms the feasibility of using it as a novel effective sorbent material. The structural properties and chemical composition were studied using different techniques and devices such as EDX, XRD, FESEM, FTIR, TGA, and DTA.

Preparation and characterization of zirconium silicoW-tungstate as a base material for W/Re generator.

Zr:W:Si. The optimum gel was prepared using the molar ratio 1:1:7 at pH 8. The ZrSiW gel was investigated by FTIR, XRD, thermal analysis (TGA and DTA), FESEM, XRF, and NAA.

Evaluation of the Activity of Gamma-Emitting Natural Radionuclides in Seafood and Estimation of the Annual Effective Dose for Different Age Groups in KSA.

Twenty-six brands of canned tuna and sardines imported from several countries in Southeast Asia to consume in the KSA. All samples were prepared and analyzed by using a High Pure Germanium Detector of 40% efficiency. Natural radionuclides 40K, 238U (226Ra) and 232Th(228Ra) series were observed with a varying range in all analyzed samples.

Improving the separation of Cu(II) from Zn(II) based on an anion exchanger for the preparation a 62Zn/62Cu generator.

A separation procedure of (64,67)Cu(II) from (65)Zn(II) was studied for serving (62)Zn/(62)Cu generator preparation. The distribution coefficients of (65)Zn(II) and (64,67)Cu(II) ions from homogeneous medium of hydrochloric acid and acetone onto De-Acidite FF anion exchanger were investigated. Both hydrochloric acid and acetone concentrations are important factors that affect the separation process.
