Leveraging the Iron-Probe-MurB Interaction: An Enhanced Platform for PET Imaging of Bacterial Infections

Abstract The accurate discrimination of bacterial infections from sterile inflammation is a critical yet unresolved challenge in clinical diagnostics. To address this, we designed and synthesized a series of 68Ga-labeled PET tracers derived from the FDA-approved iron chelator, de...

Acridine-Based[68Ga]Ga- and [18F]AlF-Labeled PSMA RadiotracersEnabling High-Contrast PET Imagingwith Minimized Undesired Retention

Abstract Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligands have achieved clinical success in prostate cancer imaging, yet nonspecific uptake in normal tissues remains a challenge. Here, we developed a series of acridine-based PSMA ligands and systematically investig...
