Bombesin (BN) is an amphibian peptide that binds to the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR). It has been demonstrated that BN analogues can be radiolabeled for potential diagnosis and treatment of GRPR-expressing malignancies. Previous studies have conjugated various chelators to the

The 8-carbon chain analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), omega-aminocaprylic acid (omega-AC), was administered to single cortical neurones of rat by microiontophoresis and its effect on cell firing compared to the effect elicited by GABA. The spontaneous and glutamate-elicited firing rates

The high incidence of BB2 receptor (BB2r) expression in various cancers has prompted investigators to pursue the development of BB2r-targeted agents for diagnostic imaging, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Development of BB2r-targeted agents, based on the bombesin (BBN) peptide, has largely involved
