BACKGROUND
1'-[(18)F]Fluoroethyl-β-D-lactose ([(18)F]FEL) is a new PET imaging agent for early detection of pancreatic cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. We previously reported the syntheses of [(18)F]FEL using a bromo- and a tosyl- precursor, followed by an improved method using a
BACKGROUND
Early detection of pancreatic cancer could save many thousands of lives. Non-invasive diagnostic imaging, including PET with [(18)F]FDG, has inadequate resolution for detection of small (2-3 mm) pancreatic tumours. We demonstrated the efficacy of PET imaging with an (18)F-labelled lactose
Chang-wei-qing (CWQ) is a Chinese herbal recipe with clinical efficacy. However, the molecular mechanism underlying its recognized therapeutic benefits against colorectal cancer is still elusive.To investigate the potential beneficial effects of CWQ in Extracts from Viscum album leaves, with mistletoe lectin I (ML I) as the main therapeutic agent, are commonly used as an immunomodulating adjuvat in tumour therapy. Because of its popularity against cancer and the possibility for a better standardisation a recombinant ML I (rML I) was developed by
Most β-d-xylosides with hydrophobic aglycones are nontoxic primers for glycosaminoglycan assembly in animal cells. However, when Ebselen was conjugated to d-xylose, d-glucose, d-galactose, and d-lactose (8A-D), only Ebselen β-d-xyloside (8A) showed significant cytotoxicity in human cancer cells. The
