Deposition of α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates is one of the neuropathological hallmarks of synucleinopathies including Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple-system atrophy. In vivo detection of α-syn aggregates with SPECT or PET may be an effective tool for medical intervention against synucleinopathy. In the present study, we designed and synthesized a series of chalcone analogues with different aryl groups to evaluate their potential as α-syn imaging probes. In competitive inhibition assays, aryl groups markedly affected binding affinity and selectivity for recombinant α-syn aggregates. Chalcone analogues with a 4-(dimethylamino)phenyl group bound to both α-syn and amyloid β (Aβ) aggregates while ones with a 4-nitrophenyl group displayed α-syn-selective binding. In fluorescent staining, only chalcone analogues with a 4-nitrophenyl group succeeded in selective detection of human α-syn against Aβ aggregates in patients’ brain samples. Among them, PHNP-3 exhibited the most promising binding characteristics for α-syn aggregates (Ki = 0.52 nM), encouraging us to further evaluate its utility. Then, a 125I-labeling reaction was performed to obtain [125I]PHNP-3. In a binding saturation assay, [125I]PHNP-3 bound to α-syn aggregates with high affinity (Kd = 6.9 nM) and selectivity. In a biodistribution study, [125I]PHNP-3 exhibited modest uptake (0.78% ID/g at 2 min after intravenous injection) into a normal mouse brain. Although there is room for improvement of its pharmacokinetics in the brain, encouraging in vitro results in the present study indicate that further structural optimization based on PHNP-3 might lead to the development of a clinically useful probe targeting α-syn aggregates in the future.

An efficient Knoevenagel condensation reaction was used to construct a series of α-cyano-α,ω-diaryloligovinylenes, which show prominent fluorescence emission in the solid state. On investigating the effect of conjugation length on fluorescent properties,

Cesium fluoride mediated reaction of γ-trimethylsilyl N-tert-butyl crotonaldimine 9 with a wide range of aldehydes takes place in DMSO at room temperature and affords exclusive γ-regio functionalized products. Heating (rt to 100°C) the δ-silyloxy imines 11 thus obtained leads, after very mild hydrolysis of the tert-butylimine function, to the conjugated dienals 14 in good yields and with excellent (E,E)-selectivities.

A new facile route to (2E,4E)-dienals by a double formyl-olefination with arsonium salts has been developed. By this method and with other arsonium reagents in the key step some lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid, lipoxin A4 and B4 and leukotriene B4, have been synthesized.

The structural features of two conjugated aldehydes, (2E,4E)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,4-pentadienal (1, a 'spy dust') and (E)-(4-nitrophenyl)propenal (2), have been studied in the solid state and in solution.X-Ray analysis were performed abd the crystal data are: (1) space group P21/c (No. 14), a = 3.877(3), b = 11.190(6), c = 27.089(9) Angstroem, β = 100.18(5) deg, V = 1156.8 Angstroem3, Z = 4, R = 0.066 for 870 unique observed reflections; (2) space group P21 (No. 4), a = 3.847(2), b = 15.046(3), c = 7.422(3) Angstroem, β = 94.48(2) deg, V = 428(3) Angstroem3, Z = 2, R = 0.047 for 398 unique observed reflections.According to X-ray data, the molecules consist of three planar parts: the slightly deformed aldehyde chain, the benzene ring and the nitro group.The aldehyde chain and the nitro group are coplanar, to within experimental error, while the benzene ring is titled 8(2) deg in compound 1 and 10(2) deg in compound 2 toward the aldehyde chain and the nitro group.The 1H and 13 C NMR chemical shifts and the J(H,H) and J(H,H) values were determined in CDCl3 solution making use of 2-D shift correlated spectra (HH- and CH-COSY).The effects of the electronegative nitro group and the formyl oxygen of the E- and Z-vicinal coupling constants are considered and compared with those of nitro- and chloro-benzene and alkyl-substituted propenals.
