Abstract: The present invention relates to radionuclide complex solutions of high concentration and of high chemical stability, that allows their use as drug product for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes. The stability of the drug product is achieved by at least one stabilizer against radiolytic degradation. The use of two stabilizers introduced during the manufacturing process at different stages was found to be of particular advantage.

Abstract: A neutron activator includes a neutron source and a reflector-moderator. The neutron source has a housing extending along a longitudinal axis (B). A metallic target as part of the neutron source is provided to produce neutrons through the interaction with a proton beam, the metallic target having a plurality of plates arranged transversally with respect to the longitudinal axis (B). The neutron source also includes a cooling circuit to cool the metallic target. The reflector-moderator has an activation area configured to accommodate the neutron source and the material to be activated.
Abstract: A neutron activator for neutron activation of a material, the neutron activator being configured to produce neutrons from an interaction with a proton beam (7), the neutron activator comprising: a neutron source comprising a metallic target (1), and a Beryllium first reflector-moderator (4) peripheral to the neutron source and comprising a neutron activation area (10) configured to accommodate the neutron source and the material to be activated, the neutron activation area (10) of the first reflector-moderator (4) comprising a bore configured to accommodate the neutron source.
Abstract: The present invention is related to new peptide antagonists of ?v?3 receptor, designed on the basis of the crystal structure of integrin ?v?3 in complex with c(RGDf[NMe]V) and the NMR structure of echistatin. These peptides are potent and selective antagonists of the ?v?3 receptor and can be used as novel anticancer drugs and/or new class of diagnostic non-invasive tracers as suitable tools for ?v?3-targeted therapy and imaging.

Abstract: The invention relates to polysultone derivatives used as precursors to radiolabelled macromolecules usable for medicine and in nuclear imaging. The aim of the invention is to provide novel prosthetic compounds or groupings, the synthesis of which is straightforward, easy and automatable, enabling access to economical and effective radiolabelled macromolecules. The aim is achieved by the invention, which involves compounds of formula 10 or 11. Said double-sultone derivatives are produced by opening the sultone rings using a nucleophile radical Ri which may be a radionucleide R* for one of the sultone rings and an active radical peptide Ra for the other sultone ring. The invention also relates to the method for producing the abovementioned compounds, as well as to the drugs or diagnosis products that the latter are capable of forming.
Abstract: This invention concerns the use of MicroRNA-199b-5p in medical and diagnostic fields. Particularly, this invention concerns the use of the miR199b-5p in the anti-cancer therapy and as a histophatological and metastasis marker.
