Nineteen cationic Tc-99m complexes, based upon four different ligand series, have been synthesized under "no carrier added" conditions and qualitatively evaluated as myocardial imaging agents in a dog model. Of these complexes, the four halogen derivatives of the diars series [diars = o-phenylenebis(dimethylarsine)] successfully concentrate in the myocardium. These Tc-99m diars complexes are shown by thin-layer chromatography to be identical to the Tc-99 analogs that have been fully characterized as trans octahedral complexes of Tc(III) by classical chemical techniques. Tissue distribution studies in rats show a definite difference in the biodistributions of [99mTc(diars)2Cl2]+ and [99mTc(diars)2Br2]+, despite the similar size, shape, charge, and lipophilicity of these two complexes. A tissue distribution study in resting beagle dogs shows that [99mTc(diars)2Br2]+ accumulates in the normal myocardium about half as well as TI-201 (0.022 compared with 0.038% dose/g).

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a vital role in cell proliferation and survival, with its overexpression linked to various malignancies, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are a key therapeutic strategy, acquired resistance and relapse remain challenges. This study aimed to synthesize and evaluate novel rhenium-based complexes incorporating EGFR TKIs to enhance anticancer efficacy, particularly in radiosensitization.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of technetium-99m (99mTc)-labelled Methoxy-2-Isobutylisonitrile (MIBI) in diagnosing amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) through various medical tests, including thyroid scintigraphy and ultrasonography.
- It included 36 AIT patients who underwent multiple analyses, and results showed that semi-quantitative MIBI analysis was more effective in differentiating between AIT subtypes compared to visual analysis.
- The findings suggest that while visual analysis is helpful, semi-quantitative methods provide improved accuracy, indicating the need for larger studies to standardize diagnostic approaches.

Pertechnetate (TcO), reduced Tc, and actinides co-exist in spent nuclear fuel and legacy wastes. They co-transport in fuel reprocessing and waste disposal scenarios, necessitating an understanding of co-speciation. Here, we report five new molecular cluster/framework structures with pentameric and tetrameric uranyl building units decorated by TcO/ReO oxoanions, or fused with the reduced technetyl cation Tc(V)O.

Background: The general sluggish clearance kinetics of functional inorganic nanoparticles tend to raise potential biosafety concerns for in vivo applications. Renal clearance is a possible elimination pathway for functional inorganic nanoparticles delivered through intravenous injection, but largely depending on the surface physical chemical properties of a given particle apart from its size and shape.

Reactions of the technetium(I) nitrosyl complex [Tc(NO)(Cp)(PPh)Cl] with triphenylphosphine chalcogenides EPPh (E = O, S, Se), and Ag(PF) in a CHCl/MeOH mixture (/, 2/1) result in an exchange of the chlorido ligand and the formation of [Tc(NO)(Cp)(PPh)(EPPh)](PF) compounds. The cationic acetonitrile complex [Tc(NO)(Cp)(PPh)(NCCH)] is formed when the reaction is conducted in NCCH without additional ligands. During the isolation of the corresponding PF salt a gradual decomposition of the anion was detected in the solvent mixture applied.
