Ligand-free 99mTc-polyurea dendrimer complexes: Nanoradiotheranostics targeted at ovarian cancer
Abstract
A folic acid-targeted polyurea (PURE) dendrimer was easily radiolabelled with Technetium-99m (99mTc-PUREG4-FA2) avoiding the use of additional ligands and bioconjugation chemistry. This straightforward strategy is enabled in PURE dendrimers due to their favourable surface terminal groups configuration, showing coordination capabilities and turning this biodendrimers attractive platforms for nanoradiotheranostics.
