HYNIC BOMBESINE
Bombesin is a 14-amino acid peptide with diverse biological activity and also has a high affinity for GRP receptors. GRP receptors are highly expressed in various malignant tumors such as prostate and breast. 2-hydrazinonicotinamide (HYNIC) is a dual-purpose chelating ligand that has attracted the attention of many researchers in the design and development of technetium and rhenium-based radiopharmaceuticals in recent years.
Hynic Bombesine is readily labeled with 99mTc and used as a potential imaging agent for GRP receptor-positive tumors.
