Škodová, Michaela ; Štěpánek, Petr (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Miroslav (referee) ; Holger, Stephan (referee)
$EVWUDFW Application of radionuclides due to their unique nature is still attracting the interest of professionals from different branches of science. In this thesis, the unifying topic is the utilization of various radioactive labels on polymeric carriers for biomedicinal purposes. In the introductory part, the area of use of the investigated substances - in terms of their possible application in nuclear medicine, is presented to the reader. The experimental work is divided into three main sections dealing with synthesis and studying properties of appropriate selected polymers, their metal chelates and radiolabeling. First part of the study describes development of new strategies for labeling of polymeric carriers with radiometal cations and radioiodine, whereas in the following sections of the study synthesis and investigation of biocompatible polymer materials is discussed. New possible approaches in the diagnostics and therapy of cancer by using polymeric chelates as carriers are presented as well as the use of macroporous metal chelating polymer beads as potential therapeutics intended for radioembolization of liver malignancies and for the therapy of Wilson's disease. Investigated polymers have been shown to be non-toxic, to have good in vitro stability and to have the ability to be radiolabeled in...
