Tricine can clearly visualize tumors, may as melanoma imaging agents. Using the combination of tricine and a phosphine ligand, HYNIC-derivatized peptides or other small molecules can be labeled with 99mTc in high specific activity and with high stability for potential use as radiopharmaceuticals.

Exendin-4 (3-39) is a peptide. Exendin-4 (3-39) is a truncated form of Exendin-4 that lacks the first two amino acids. Exendin-4 is a potent Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1r) agonist. Exendin-4 (3-39) and Exendin-4 can be used for the research of diabetic and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.
