Development of 186/188Re-Chitosan as an Effective Therapeutic Agent for Rheumatoid Arthritis.

CONCLUSION: According to the results, there is a possibility of labeling rhenium with chitosan in very high radiochemical purity. Regarding the high retention of these radiopharmaceuticals in joints with no leakage to surrounding organs, 186/188Re-chitosan can be applied as new radiosynovectomy drugs for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
