Pancreatic cancer is associated with the worst 5-year survival rate of any human cancer. This high mortality is due, in part, to difficulties in establishing early and accurate diagnosis. Because most tumours share the ability to accumulate amino acids more

Recently, p-[(123)I]iodo-L-phenylalanine (IPA) was clinically validated for brain tumour imaging. Preclinical studies demonstrated uptake of IPA into pancreatic adenocarcinoma suggesting its diagnostic application in patients with pancreatic tumours. The aim was to study the tumour uptake of IPA in patients

The amino terminal fragment (1-15) of apolipoprotein C-1, H-Thr-Pro-Asp-Val-Ser-Ser-Ala-Leu-Asp-Lys-Leu-Lys-Glu-Phe14-Gly was prepared by the solid phase method. However, the phenylalanine residue at position 14 was replaced with p-iodophenylalanine in the chemical synthesis. The preparation of t-butyloxy-carbonyl-p-iodophenylalanine is described. After completion of

The bacterial aminopeptidase isolated from the extracellular extract of Streptomyces griseus (SGAP) is a double-zinc exopeptidase with a high preference for large hydrophobic amino-terminus residues. It is a monomer of a relatively low molecular weight (30 kDa), is heat-stable, displays

In developing iodine-123-labelled amino acid derivatives for imaging cerebral gliomas by single-photon emission tomography (SPET), we compared p-[123I]iodo-L-phenylalanine (IPA), L-[123I]iodo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7-hydroxyisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (ITIC) and L-3-[123I]iodo-alpha-methyltyrosine (IMT) with regard to their uptake in human glioblastoma T99 and T3868 cells, and thereafter studied
