2025 J Nanobiotechnology
Radiolabeling of [¹⁷⁷Lu]Lu-CE-Nanobody: A 1 mL solution of 0.05 M HCl was mixed with 0.3 mL of 0.25 M sodium acetate buffer, to which 20–50 µL of ¹⁷⁷Lu solution was added and the pH adjusted to 5. — The radiochemical yield was 42.7 ± 2.8%, with a radiochemical purity exceeding 95% as determined by radio-TLC (Fig. S3).

Notes

Added at stage 22: promoted from 'Reported once' (single-article, no diagnostic pair at discovery) because a full-text synthesis with extracted data exists in parsed-therapy.xlsx -- PMID(s): 41275230. Target/mechanism, clinical application, indications, approval and precursor fields still need per-agent research and are intentionally left empty. Compound class inferred from precursor name (not stated outright) -- PMID 41275230: 'CEA-Nanobody (CE-21-NOTA conjugate)'. Stage set/updated at stage 23 from PMID 41275230: 'A high-affinity CEA-targeted nanobody for 68Ga PET imaging and 177Lu-based radioisotope therapy: preclinical and first-in-human evaluation.'.
