ABSTRACT The introduction of inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) changed over a few decades the treatment focus of mild-to-moderate asthma from bronchodilation to reduction in inflammation. This was achieved by inhaling a suitable corticosteroid (CS), giving a high, protracted airway concentration at a low total… →
Tiffany W Chow April 27, 2024 Pharmaceuticals (Basel). 2024 Mar 22;17(4):408. doi: 10.3390/ph17040408. ABSTRACT Brain somatic gene recombination (SGR) and the endogenous reverse transcriptases (RTs) that produce it have been implicated in the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), suggesting RT inhibitors as novel prophylactics or therapeutics. This retrospective, proof-of-concept study evaluated the incidence of AD… →
Diana Trujillo-Benítez April 27, 2024 Pharmaceutics. 2024 Apr 12;16(4):532. doi: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16040532. ABSTRACT Recently, we reported a new fibroblast activation protein (FAP) inhibitor radiopharmaceutical based on the 99mTc-((R)-1-((6-hydrazinylnicotinoyl)-D-alanyl) pyrrolidin-2-yl) boronic acid (99mTc-HYNIC-D-Alanine-BoroPro)(99mTc-HYNIC-iFAP) structure for tumor microenvironment SPECT imaging. This research aimed to synthesize 68Ga-[2,2′,2″,2‴-(2-(4-(2-(5-(((S)-1-((S)-2-boronopyrrolidin-1-yl)-1-oxopropan-2-yl)carbamoyl)pyridin-2-yl)hydrazine-1-carbothioamido)benzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetrayl)tetraacetic acid] (68Ga-DOTA-D-Alanine-BoroPro)(68Ga-iFAP) as a novel radiotracer for PET imaging and evaluate its… →
