Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to improve the accuracy of tumor imaging diagnosis and to create novel radio-theranostics that can perform both imaging diagnosis and radiotherapy using the same material, I attempted to develop and improve nanoparticle carrier "lactosome" that has potential as a nuclear medicine imaging agent and has high tumor recognition and specific accumulation properties. Folate group was introduced with tumor recognition ability on the lactosome, and examined its biodistribution and tumor recognition properties while maintaining biodistribution and in vivo stability, and evaluated the validity of the drug design strategy of introducing any other functional groups on the particle surface. New insights were also obtained into the mechanism of lactosome accumulation in brain tumors, as well as new insights that should be taken into account in the development of nuclear medicine therapeutics.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の遂行は、ラクトソームへの機能性官能基の付加によってより効率的な腫瘍認識を目指すものであり、臨床では困難だった箇所の腫瘍組織の描画を実現するとともに、ラクトソームだけでなくナノキャリアの核医学診断プローブとしての臨床応用に道を拓くものである。 また、核医学画像診断だけでなく核医学治療も可能で、安全で精度の高い個別医療技術として期待されているラジオセラノスティクスの創製の一助として貢献する成果であり学術的意義や社会的意義は高いと考えられる。
