Purpose: Prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted radioligand therapy (PSMA-RLT) is a promising approach to treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). With the emergence of oxalyldiaminopropionic acid urea (ODAP-Urea) based radioligands targeting PSMA, novel paradigms focused on PSMA-RLT are garnering attention. This study aims to assess potentially novel ODAP-Urea-based radioligands prepared for PSMA-RLT.
Methods: Albumin binding moieties (ABMs) were selected for optimization. Candidates were evaluated in vitro and subsequently investigated through biodistribution and imaging studies in 22Rv1 tumor-bearing mice.
Results: We synthesized five novel ODAP-Urea-based derivatives (CXY-18, CXY-19, CXY-20, CXY-21, CXY-23) with specific ABM. All compounds demonstrated high affinities for PSMA (K values ranging from 0.21 nM to 3.6 nM) and strong human albumin protein binding abilities (83.4 ± 1.6% to 94.6 ± 0.4%). [Ga]Ga-CXY-18 (CXY-18) PET/CT exhibited the highest tumor uptake and blood retention properties. Moreover, the internalization of [Ga]Ga-CXY-18 in the 22Rv1 cell line (23.81 ± 1.67%) exceeded that of [Ga]Ga-PSMA-617 (9.99 ± 0.98%). Biodistribution studies confirmed prolonged blood retention and enhanced tumor uptake with [Lu]Lu-CXY-18, peaking at 48 h post-injection (4 h: 27.22 ± 3.61%ID/g; 24 h: 30.61 ± 4.96%ID/g; 48 h: 33.92 ± 2.98%ID/g; 96 h: 30.97 ± 1.87%ID/g; 192 h: 9.03 ± 3.49%ID/g).
Conclusion: Our study indicates that CXY-18 possesses high PSMA specificity and tumor uptake, underscoring its promising potential for PSMA-RLT using 4-IBA.

Cisplatin resistance continues to be a major obstacle in the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC). Gap junction protein β-2 (GJB2), a key member of the connexin family, is well-known for its association with hereditary deafness. However, its role in ovarian cancer chemotherapy resistance remains unexplored.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a serious threat to human life and health. Nowadays, liver-targeting drug delivery systems have been proven as a promising strategy in treating HCC. Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP), a plant polysaccharide with good biocompatibility, has excellent aqueous solubility and intrinsic liver-targeted capability.

Disulfidptosis is a recently identified form of regulated cell death (RCD) characterized by aberrant disulfide bond accumulation and cytoskeletal collapse under conditions of redox imbalance. SLC7A11-overexpressing tumors are uniquely susceptible to this pathway due to their elevated cystine uptake and dependence on glucose-driven NADPH production for redox maintenance. These metabolic liabilities create therapeutic opportunities to selectively trigger disulfidptosis via pharmacologic or material-based interventions.

Background: The liver cone unit (Tokyo 2020 terminology) of the peripheral portal vein territory represents the smallest anatomical and functional unit of the liver. While this unit enables anatomical, subsegmental resection, particularly in patients with cirrhosis, the tumor-bearing cone unit can be challenging to identify intraoperatively. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 58-year-old man with hepatitis C-related cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B) was diagnosed with a subcapsular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in segment 8.

Background: Immunotherapy is a mainstay in the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma. Yet, resistance mechanisms exist, and tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs), particularly the M2-like phenotype, are associated with poorer outcomes, with CD206 serving as their specific marker. We present the first human SPECT/CT study to visualize CD206 + TAMs in patients undergoing immunotherapy and compare the findings to clinical outcomes (NCT04663126).
