Abstract
Glucose is an important molecule for metabolism. It is more actively taken up in tumor cells than in normal cells, thus making it possible to detect the tumor. Radiolabeled glucose derivates have been successfully employed for tumor imaging for several decades. This review focuses on the development of various radiolabeled glucose derivatives as tumor imaging probes with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) and discusses basic research data, current status and future prospects of this class of imaging agents.
Keywords: Glucose derivatives, PET, radiotracers, SPECT, tumor imaging.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
