Bone tumor patients often face the problems with cancer cell residues and bone defects after the operation. Therefore, researchers have developed many bifunctional scaffolds with both tumor treatment and bone repair functions. Therapeutic agents are usually combined with bioactive scaffolds to achieve the "bifunctional". However, the synergistic effect of bifunctional scaffolds on tumor therapy and bone repair, as well as the interplay between therapeutic agents and scaffold materials in bifunctional scaffolds, have not been emphasized and discussed. This review proposes a promising design scheme for bifunctional scaffolds: the synergistic effect and interplay between the therapeutic agents and scaffold materials. This review summarizes the latest research progress in bifunctional scaffolds for therapeutic applications and regeneration. In particular, it summarizes the role of tumor therapeutic agents in bone regeneration and the role of scaffold materials in tumor treatment. Finally, a perspective on the future development of bifunctional scaffolds for tumor therapy and bone regeneration is discussed.

: Fibroblast activation protein (FAP)-targeted theranostic radiopharmaceuticals have shown desired tumor-to-background organ selectivity due to the ubiquitous presence of FAP within the tumor microenvironment. However, suboptimal tumor retention and fast clearance have hindered their use to deliver effective cancer therapies. With well-documented FAP-targeting moieties and linkers appending them to optimal chelators, the development of copper radiopharmaceuticals has attracted considerable interest, given the fact that an ideal theranostic pair of copper radionuclides (Cu: t = 12.

Dysfunction in the SHP1 enzyme can cause cancers and many diseases, so it is of great significance to develop novel small molecule SHP1 inhibitors. Through continuous monitoring of metabolic and targeted processes of SHP1 inhibitors in real-time, we can evaluate the effectiveness and toxicity of the inhibitors, further optimize drug design, and explore SHP1 biology. Indoloquinoxaline is an important class of N-containing heterocycle, which has been studied and applied in the pharmacological field and in optoelectronic materials.

The tetrapyrrolic macrocycle as a scaffold for various chemical modifications provides broad opportunities for the preparation of complex multifunctional conjugates suitable for binary antitumor therapies. Typically, illumination with monochromatic light triggers the photochemical generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (photodynamic effect). However, more therapeutically valuable effects can be achieved upon photoactivation of tetrapyrrole derivatives.

β-Amino acids serve as crucial building blocks for a broad range of biologically active molecules and peptides with potential as peptidomimetics. While numerous methods have been developed for the synthesis of β-amino acids, most of them require multistep preparation of specific reagents and substrates, which limits their synthetic practicality. In this regard, a homologative transformation of abundant and readily available α-amino acids would be an attractive approach for β-amino acid synthesis.

Background: The NOTI chelating scaffold can readily be derivatized for bioconjugation without impacting its metal complexation/radiolabeling properties making it an attractive building block for the development of multimeric/-valent radiopharmaceuticals. The objective of the study was to further explore the potential of the NOTI chelating platform by preparing and characterizing homotrimeric PSMA radioconjugates in order to identify a suitable candidate for clinical translation.
Results: Altogether, three PSMA conjugates based on the NOTI-TVA scaffold with different spacer entities between the chelating unit and the Glu-CO-Lys PSMA binding motif were readily prepared by solid phase-peptide chemistry.
