Abstract: This disclosure relates to pentagalloyl glucose compositions and uses in managing microbial infections and compositions related thereto. In certain embodiments, this disclosure relates to compositions of pentagalloyl glucose. In certain embodiments, this disclosure relates to methods of treating or preventing a microbial infection, e.g., an antimicrobial resistant microbial infection, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of pentagalloyl glucose or salt thereof. In certain embodiments, the microbe is bacteria or fungi resistant to one or more antibiotic agents or antifungal agents.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a radionuclide imaging agent includes providing an imaging agent including a chelated place-holder metal; loading the imaging agent onto an acid stable stationary phase; replacing the chelated place-holder metal of the imaging agent loaded on the stationary phase with a replacement radioactive metal under mild reaction conditions; and eluting the imaging agent including the chelated replacement radioactive metal from the stationary phase to provide a radionuclide imaging agent suitable for positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The imaging agent can include a targeting agent that is directly conjugated to the imaging agent or by means of a linker. The process may also apply to other metals that are non-radioactive but used as diluent metals or other metals that are strongly bound to DOTA.
