- Asymmetric Synthesis of the Aromatic Fragment of Sespendole
-
Sespendole is an indole sesquiterpene alkaloid bearing two isoprenyl groups, one of which is highly oxidized. Herein, we disclose an eight-step synthesis of the aromatic fragment of sespendole in an optically pure form, starting from 4-bromo-2-fluoronitrobenzene. The key steps were a Claisen rearrangement at room temperature for introduction of the prenyl group and a coupling between the dianion generated from prenylated bromo-N-tosylanilide and a chiral epoxy aldehyde.

- TAU IMAGING PROBE
-
An object of the present invention is to provide a probe for imaging a β-sheet structure protein which can be used for the diagnosis of conformational diseases, particularly disease (tauopathy) having a cardinal symptom such as intracerebral accumulation of tau protein, for example, Alzheimer's disease. Another object of the present invention is to provide a compound which is highly specific to tau and can image tau with satisfactory sensitivity, and also has high brain transition, low or non-recognized bone-seeking properties and low or non-recognized toxicity. According to the present invention, the above problems are solved by providing a compound of a formula I (wherein A, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, Ra and Rb are as defined in the present description) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
