Nanodiamonds as lutetium-177 carriers for nuclear medicine

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The work investigated the sorption of carrier-free 177Lu isolated from neutron-irradiated 176Yb2O3, and with a carrier obtained by irradiation of natLu2O3, by commercial and oxidized nanodiamonds (NDs) of various brands from aqueous solutions to identify among them a promising carrier for further research for the purposes of nuclear medicine. A promising sorbent was found: oxidized NDs of the STP brand (ox-STP); conditions for the rapid sorption of lutetium by it in an amount equivalent to 1.2 GBq of carrier-free 177Lu were determined, which corresponds to the activity used in therapy.
