Preferred Label : Technetium Tc-99m Glycopeptide;
NCIt synonyms : 99mTc-GP;
NCIt definition : A technetium Tc 99m radiopharmaceutical of a glutamate-rich peptide (GP) conjugated,
via carbodiimide linker, to the heparin-like polysaccharide chitosan (CH) in a 1:1
ratio, with potential tumor targeting property. Upon administration, 99m Tc-glycopeptide
targets and is taken up by glutamate-specific transporters on tumor cells. Upon internalization,
the Tc99m moiety can be visualized upon scanning. GP may potentially be used as a
drug carrier for antineoplastic drug delivery to tumor cells.;
