Description

Astatine: Astatine. A radioactive halogen with the atomic symbol At, and atomic number 85. Its isotopes range in mass number from 200 to 219 and all have an extremely short half-life. Astatine may be of use in the treatment of hyperthyroidism because it emits ALPHA PARTICLES. [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

Research Excerpts

Toxicity

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" The Auger electron-emitting conjugates ([123I]MIBG and [125I]MIBG) and the alpha-emitting conjugate ([211At]MABG) were highly toxic to monolayers and small spheroids, whereas the beta-emitting conjugate [131I]MIBG was relatively ineffective."( Toxicity to neuroblastoma cells and spheroids of benzylguanidine conjugated to radionuclides with short-range emissions.

" The results showed that there was a relatively selective localization and therapeutic effect as biomissile, which led to a radiation response of gastric cancer cells (GCCs) and decreased the mitosis of GCCs with a dose-response correlation among the 8, 16, and 24 microCi 211At-3H11 groups."( [Histopathological study of subcutaneous heterograft of human gastric cancer in nude mice treated with 211At labelled monoclonal antibody].
