We designed and synthesized a small series of 2-aryl-imidazo[2,1-b] benzothiazole, representing a combination of motifs from the two most potent amyloid imaging agents, PIB and IMPY. The binding affinity of the new compounds ranged from 6 to 133 nM. Among the best compounds, 3b (Ki = 6 nM) can be labeled with 11CH3 for PET imaging whereas 3j (K i = 10.9 nM) can be labeled with 123I for SPECT imaging.
