Benzoazacrown compound: a highly effective chelator for therapeutic bismuth radioisotopes

Silica Nanoparticles as Substrates for Chelator-free Labeling of Oxophilic Radioisotopes

Chelator-free nanoparticles for intrinsic radiolabeling are highly desirable for whole-body imaging and therapeutic applications. Several reports have successfully demonstrated the principle of intrinsic radiolabeling. However, the work done to date has suffered from much of the same specificity issues as conventional molecular chelators, insofar as there is no singular nanoparticle substrate t...

The habits of highly effective phages: population dynamics as a framework for identifying therapeutic phages

The use of bacteriophages as antibacterial agents is being actively researched on a global scale. Typically, the phages used are isolated from the wild by plating on the bacteria of interest, and a far larger set of candidate phages is often available than can be used in any application. When an excess of phages is available, how should the best phages be identified? Here we consider phage-bact...

Therapeutic effects of HESA-A (a herbal-marine compound) in acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning

Objective: Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) are common causes of poisonings. Atropine and oximes are pharmacological antidotes of OPs. However, because of their adverse effects and insufficient performance, several other compounds have been evaluated as adjuvant therapy. HESA-A is a herbal-marine drug that contains material from Carum carvi (Persian cumin), Penaeus latisculatus...
