Abstract:
Integrin α
Ⅴβ
3 is significant to tumor angiogenesis, which is necessary for tumor growth and metastasis. So, it’s beneficial for us to make noninvasive visualizations and targeted treatments in tumor patients to detect malignant tumors and inhabit tumor metastasis early by using radiolabeled integrin α
Ⅴβ
3 antagonists which have high specificity and affinity to integrin α
Ⅴβ
3. This article will focus on the current researches on nonpeptide small molecular antagonists of integrin α
Ⅴβ
3 by computerassisted drug design(CADD) to review the nonpeptide antagonists of integrin α
Ⅴβ
3 in present progress. Also, it makes an analysis on the applications of radiolabeled small molecular antagonists as probes in tumor imaging.
