invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors.The integrins
which express on many types of tumor cells and activated vascular endothelial cells
play an important role in regulation of the tumor angiogenesis.RGD peptide
which contains Arg-Gly-Asp sequence
binds specifically to integrin αvβ3.Therefore
the radiolabeled RGD peptides may have broad application prospects in radionuclide imaging and therapy.Major research interests include the selection of radionuclides
modification and improvement of RGD structures.In this article
we give a review on research progresses in optimization strategy for radiolabeled molecular probes targeting integrin αvβ3.
