: 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.

Radiotheranostics using prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeting radioligands offers precision medicine by performing radionuclide therapy based on results of diagnosis. Albumin binder (ALB) binds to albumin reversibly and contributes to effective radiotheranostics by enhancing tumor accumulation of PSMA-targeting radioligands. We newly developed two ALB-containing PSMA-targeting radioligands including dual functional linkers, a hydrophilic linker, d-glutamic acid, and a hydrophobic linker, 4-(aminomethyl)benzoic acid, with the opposite arrangement (PNT-DA6 and PNT-DA7).

Leveraging X-rays to initiate prolonged luminescence (radio-afterglow) and stimulate radiodynamic O production from optical agents provides opportunities for diagnosis and therapy at tissue depths inaccessible to light. However, X-ray-responsive organic luminescent materials are rare due to their intrinsic low X-ray conversion efficiency. Here we report a cascade X-ray energy converting approach to develop organic radio-afterglow nanoprobes (RANPs) for cancer theranostics.

Supramolecular chemistry has been used to tackle some of the major challenges in modern science, including cancer therapy and diagnosis. Supramolecular platforms provide synthetic flexibility, rapid generation through self-assembly, facile labelling, unique topologies, tunable reversibility of the enabling noncovalent interactions, and opportunities for host-guest chemistry and mechanical bonding. In this Review, we summarize recent advances in the design and radiopharmaceutical application of discrete self-assembled coordination complexes and mechanically interlocked molecules - namely, metallacages and rotaxanes, respectively - as well as in situ-forming supramolecular aggregates, specifically pinpointing their potential as next-generation radiotheranostic agents.
