Download or read book Synthesis and in Vivo Biomedical Applications of Ultrasmall Metal Nanoparticles written by Shahab Ranjbar Bahadori and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs) have gained much popularity in the field of nanomedicine owing to their exceptional physiochemical properties. Easy surface functionalization and conjugation with therapeutic moieties, stability, inertness, and inherent anticancer activities make MNPs promising diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Among different sizes of MNPs, which greatly affect their biodistribution and clearance, ultrasmall metal nanoparticles with the size less than 5 nm demonstrate unique pharmacokinetic properties, making them suitable for nanomedicinal applications. Therefore, many efforts have been made to synthesize various kinds of ultrasmall metal nanoparticles. In this study, a revolutionary synthesis method, termed as liquid diffusion synthesis (LDS) was developed to produce ultrasmall metal nanoparticles. In this new approach, simply immersing a dialysis bag containing an aqueous solution of a metal salt mixed with citric acid in a NaOH solution reservoir for tens of minutes, few-nm sized nanoparticles form inside the dialysis bag. Not only is this process exceptionally simple and cost effective, conducting at room temperature using aqueous solution of metal salt, citric acid and NaOH, but also it can produce a wide range of colloidal nanocrystals, covering all possible ultrasmall metal nanocrystals used as nanomedicine. Using this method, the synthesis of ultrasmall metal nanocrystals of Co, Ni, Cu, Au, Ag, Pd, Pt, and Lu have been demonstrated. Also, ultrasmall metal oxide nanoparticles can be produced using the same method. Ultrasmall nanoparticles of MnO, RuO2, Cu2O, FeO, ZnO2, and CeO2 have been synthesized. A mechanistic study was conducted to reveal the nanoparticle formation mechanism. It was found that the gradual change of the solution pH caused by the diffusion of OH- ions through the dialysis membrane played an essential role in the formation of these nanocrystals. Synthesized ultrasmall Cu nanoparticles have preliminarily been tested for its in vivo biomedical applications. It shows that Cu nanoparticles are stable in phosphate-buffered saline and fatal bovine serum. In vivo studies shows the renal clearability of Cu nanoparticles; about 67% of nanoparticles is excreted via urine after 48 hours of injection.

Download or read book Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry written by Jason S. Lewis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive guide to radiopharmaceutical chemistry. The stunning clinical successes of nuclear imaging and targeted radiotherapy have resulted in rapid growth in the field of radiopharmaceutical chemistry, an essential component of nuclear medicine and radiology. However, at this point, interest in the field outpaces the academic and educational infrastructure needed to train radiopharmaceutical chemists. For example, the vast majority of texts that address radiopharmaceutical chemistry do so only peripherally, focusing instead on nuclear chemistry (i.e. nuclear reactions in reactors), heavy element radiochemistry (i.e. the decomposition of radioactive waste), or solely on the clinical applications of radiopharmaceuticals (e.g. the use of PET tracers in oncology). This text fills that gap by focusing on the chemistry of radiopharmaceuticals, with key coverage of how that knowledge translates to the development of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals for the clinic. The text is divided into three overarching sections: First Principles, Radiochemistry, and Special Topics. The first is a general overview covering fundamental and broad issues like “The Production of Radionuclides” and “Basics of Radiochemistry”. The second section is the main focus of the book. In this section, each chapter’s author will delve much deeper into the subject matter, covering both well established and state-of-the-art techniques in radiopharmaceutical chemistry. This section will be divided according to radionuclide and will include chapters on radiolabeling methods using all of the common nuclides employed in radiopharmaceuticals, including four chapters on the ubiquitously used fluorine-18 and a “Best of the Rest” chapter to cover emerging radionuclides. Finally, the third section of the book is dedicated to special topics with important information for radiochemists, including “Bioconjugation Methods,” “Click Chemistry in Radiochemistry”, and “Radiochemical Instrumentation.” This is an ideal educational guide for nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, and radiopharmaceutical chemists, as well as residents and trainees in all of these areas.
