Supply and Clinical Application of Actinium-225 and Bismuth-213.
The recent development of 225Ac-PSMA617 for therapy of prostate cancer has strikingly demonstrated the clinical potential of targeted alpha therapy. Further promising applications of the alpha emitters 225Actinium and its daughter nuclide 213Bismuth include the therapy of brain tumors, bladder cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and leukemia.

Spectroscopic and computational investigation of actinium coordination chemistry
Actinium-225 is a promising isotope for α-therapy but progress in developing its chemistry is hindered by its high radioactivity and short supply. Here, the authors characterize actinium coordination in HCl solutions using X-ray absorption spectroscopy ...

Actinium-225 (225Ac) is a promising radionuclide used in targeted alpha therapy (TAT). Although 225Ac labeling of bifunctional chelating ligands is effective, previous in vivo studies reported that free 225Ac can be released from the drugs and that such ...

Development of radiopharmaceuticals for targeted alpha therapy: Where do we stand?
Targeted alpha therapy is an oncological treatment, where cytotoxic doses of alpha radiation are locally delivered to tumor cells, while the surrounding healthy tissue is minimally affected.

Partial and/or heterogeneous irradiation of established (i.e., large, vascularized) tumors by α‐particles that exhibit only a 4–5 cell‐diameter range in tissue, limits the therapeutic effect, since regions not being hit by the high energy α‐particles are
