Abstract
Currently, receptor based radiopharmaceuticals have received great attention in molecular imaging and radiotherapy of cancer, and provide a unique tool for target-specific delivery of radionuclides to pathological tissues. In this context, receptor binding peptides represent an attractive class of target vectors for Nuclear Medicine purposes. The rich chemistry of the group 7 elements elaborated in past years, has allowed the development of different procedures for the preparation of radiolabeled peptides in high yield. This, joint to the use of solid-phase peptide synthesis, has opened the possibility to explore new strategies for approaching the design of new class of radiolabeled receptor-targeted peptides, and to create new versatilities in targeting vehicle design e.g. in synthesis of metal-cyclized peptides or of multivalent targeting agents.
This review provides an overview on several aspects of the development of new 99mTc/188Re-peptide based target specific radiopharmaceuticals, in particular on the synthetic strategies employed for modifying molecular vectors, and the application of the different metal-cores and/or building block for preparing high specific activity agents.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
