Prostate cancer (PCa) has emerged to be the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men. Molecular imaging of PCa using targeted radiopharmaceuticals specifically to PCa cells promises accurate staging of primary disease, detection of localized and metastasized tumours, and helps predict the progression of the disease. Glutamate urea heterodimers have been popularly used as high-affinity small molecules in the binding pockets of popular and well-characterized PCa biomarker, prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA).

Infective endocarditis (IE) represents a significant concern among hospital-acquired infections, frequently caused by the Gram-positive bacterium . Nuclear imaging is emerging as a noninvasive and precise diagnostic tool. However, the gold standard radiotracer [F]-FDG cannot distinguish between infection and inflammation, resulting in false positives.

Plectin, a scaffolding protein overexpressed in tumor cells, plays a significant role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) proliferation, invasion, and migration. However, the use of L-type peptides for targeting plectin is hindered by their limited stability and retention. We designed a D-type plectin-targeting peptide (PTP) and developed a novel single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) probe for HCC imaging.

The folate receptor has attracted much attention in the field of radiolabeled imaging agents due to the significant difference in its expression levels between tumor cells and most normal cells. However, the development of folate-based imaging agents has been limited by their high uptake in the kidney. In this study, to reduce the high renal uptake of radiolabeled folate-based tracers, a phenyl-isonitrile folate derivative (CNMBFA) was designed and labeled with technetium-99m.
