Due to the antitumor activity of Gallium MAL complex, as well as recent findings on new targeted biomolecules in malignant cells through this complex, the development of radiolabeled gallium complex for future imaging studies was targeted. Ga-67 labeled 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-onate (Ga-67 MAL) was prepared using freshly prepared Ga-67 chloride and 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-onate in a...

The study reported in the present issue of the Journal of Alzheimer’s disease by Mizoroki et al. [8] concludes that the failure of treatment of transgenic mice with aluminum maltolate to induce Alzheimer’s-like neuropathological changes provides proof that aluminum is not a causative agent in the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease. In our opinion, this report by Mizoroki et al. fails to provide an...

introduction compartmental analysis allows the mathematical separation of tissues and organs to determine activity concentration in each point of interest. biodistribution studies on humans are costly and complicated, whereas such assessments can be easily performed on rodents. in this study, we aimed to develop a pharmacokinetic model of 153sm-maltolate complex as a novel therapeutic agent and...

Gallium is a trivalent semi-metal with anti-microbial effects because of its incorporation into crucial iron-dependent reproductive enzyme systems. Gallium maltolate (GaM) provides significant gallium bioavailability to people and mice following oral administration and to neonatal foals following intragastric administration. To study the prophylactic and therapeutic effects of GaM against Rhodo...
