We report INTEGRAL/IBIS gamma-ray and VLA radio observations of G0.570-0.018, a diffuse X-ray source recently discovered by ASCA and Chandra in the Galactic center region. Based on its spectrum and morphology, G0.570-0.018 has been proposed to be a very young supernova remnant. In this scenario, the presence of gamma-ray lines coming from the short-lived radioactive nucleus 44Ti as well as synchrotron radio continuum emission are expected. The first could provide informations on nucleosynthesis environments in the interior of exploding stars, the latter could probe the interaction between the supernova blast wave and the circumstellar/interstellar matter. We have not detected 44Ti lines nor any conspicuous radio feature associated with this source down to the achieved sensitivities. From the derived upper limits we set constraints on the nature of G0.570-0.018.
