Targeted alpha therapy (TAT) is an area of research with rapidly increasing importance as the emitted alpha particle has a significant effect on inducing cytotoxic effects on tumor cells while mitigating dose to normal tissues. Two significant isotopes of interest within the area of TAT are thorium-227 and actinium-225 due to their nuclear characteristics. Both isotopes have physical half-lives suitable for coordination with larger biomolecules, and additionally actinium-225 has potential to serve as an in vivo generator. In this review, the authors will discuss the production, purification, labeling reactions, and biological studies of actinium-225 and thorium-227 complexes and clinical studies.

For targeted radionuclide therapy, radioligands that exhibit high and persistent tumor uptake are indispensable. We previously synthesized a Tc-labeled hexavalent RGD peptide (Tc-(RGD)) as a tumor imaging agent targeting integrin αvβ3. Tc-(RGD) showed high in vivo tumor uptake with long retention due to simultaneous binding to multiple integrin αvβ3 receptors.

Due to the growing interest of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Member States in implementing targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) in general, the demand for alpha-emitting radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals is enormous. As an international platform for peaceful applications of radionuclides, the IAEA has been implementing several activities focusing on the production and quality control of alpha emitters and radiopharmaceuticals as well as capacity building in the field, through Technical Meetings, Workshops, Publications and Conference Supports, IAEA-Coordinated Research Projects (CRP) and Technical Cooperation Program (TC). This review article summarises the IAEA activities on the production and quality control of alpha emitter radiopharmaceuticals for targeted alpha therapy (TAT) and a roadmap to future steps including but not limited to the ongoing CRP on Ac-radiopharmaceuticals.

While amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (α-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) are practical alternatives to silicon-based TFTs, their field-effect mobility (∼50 cm/(V s), depending on deposition conditions) remains insufficient to meet the growing demands of high-resolution active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays. The need for high-performance oxide TFTs with mobility ≥100 cm/(V s) has become critical to meet the evolving display industry's requirements. This study explored the development of high-mobility hexagonal homologous compound (HC) indium zinc tin oxide (IZTO) TFTs as an alternative to α-IGZO TFTs.
