(First International Symposium on Ruthenium and Other Non Platinum Metal Complexes in Cancer Chemotherapy, Trieste, Italy, and Seventh International Symposium on Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry, Groningen, The Netherlands, June 28--July 8, 1988): Foreign Trip Report

摘要

The First International Symposium on Ruthenium and Other Non Platinum Metal Complexes in Cancer Chemotherapy was held in Trieste, Italy. The aim of this meeting was to update the knowledge in the field by bringing together international experts for discussions, and to evaluate the future perspectives of ruthenium and other non platinum transition metal complexes as potential anticancer drugs. A number of topics were covered, including the synthesis, structure, in-vivo evaluation, and the mechanisms of action of anticancer compounds based on ruthenium and other transition metal elements. The Seventh International Symposium on Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry was convened in Groningen, The Netherlands. These symposia take place every 2 years and involve the participation of international workers in the area of radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals. The scope of this symposium included design, preparation, and quality control of radiopharmaceuticals; production of radionuclides including target design and automation of chemical processes; and related chemical and biochemical studies. The presented papers consisted of original research data on specific topics in the above areas. (ERA citation 14:013618)
