Introduction

Metal ions play essential roles in biochemical processes, but they are also very important in diagnostic and therapeutic medicine. Because of toxicity (of metal-based diagnostic agents) or delivery issues (therapeutic agents based on bifunctional ligands) require specific ligands, which can encapsulate metal ions by forming stable and inert complexes. Diagnostic applications like MRI rely on the use of compounds containing paramagnetic ions (e.g., GdIII, MnII, FeII) while complexes with radionuclides emitting positrons (e.g., 44Sc, 64Cu, 68Ga, 86Y) or gamma photons (e.g., 99mTc, 111In) are employed in PET or SPECT, respectively. Luminescent lanthanide complexes emitting visible (EuIII and TbIII) or near-infrared light (e.g. NdIII, PrIII, ErIII and YbIII) have found utilization in various fields of optical imaging. Among the therapeutic applications the targeted radioimmunotherapy is being now more and more favored over the chemotherapy which rely on radionuclides that generate alpha (e.g. 212Pb, 212Bi) or beta (e.g. 90Y, 177Lu) particles but still require chelating ligands for delivery. The “LE STUDIUM® CONFERENCE” entitled “Medicinal flavor of metal complexes: diagnostic and therapeutic applications” intends to bring together leading scientists, from around the world, working on metal complexes with an aim to see and discuss how the achievements in one field can aid the research and development in the other filed.
