Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Plant origin products having anticancer properties come into prominence due to widespread of cancer. There is significant increase on the usage of plant origin products and their purification to investigate the potential use at the treatment and diagnosis. Plant origin radiolabeled compounds have been attracting more scientific attention since the achievement of earlier researches. Furthermore, plant extracts are consumed quite a lot with unknown side effects of their contents. Researchers focus on investigation of their interactions with radiopharmaceuticals. Current review is carried out to evaluate the contribution of plant extracts for the development of new plant origin radiolabeled (125/131I, 99mTc) compounds for imaging and/or therapy and to investigate the interaction of plant extracts with radiopharmaceuticals.
