Astatine-211 (At-211) is a promising alpha-emitter for targeted-alpha therapy (TAT) in various malignancies, due to its high linear energy transfer and short tissue range. In the past two decades, significant progress has been made in At-211-related radiopharmaceutical research, providing important insights for tumor radiotherapy and other radiopharmaceutical studies.
Astatine-211 (At-211, t(1/2) =7.21 h) emitting two a particles with energies of 5.87 and 7.45 MeV, can lead to a high linear energy transfer (LET= 98.84 keV/pm) and short tissue range (50-90pm). Since the 1950s, At-211 had stepped into endoradiotherapy and has always been regarded as one of the most promising alpha-emitters for targeted-alpha therapy (TAT) in various malignancies. In the past two decades, At-211 related radiopharmaceuticals have achieved great progress in the studies of basic physicochemical properties of astatine, At-211 labeling strategies, preclinical and clinical studies, producing profound effects in nuclear medicine. This work will give a panorama of At-211-related researches in the recent 20 years, which will cover both the fundamental insights of At-211 radiochemistry and applied labeling compounds. It can provide some important hints for the studies of TAT and other radiopharmaceuticals applied in tumor radiotherapy.
