A novel 18F-labeled pyridyl benzofuran derivative for imaging of β-amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s brains

Add time:08/25/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

A potential probe for PET targeting β-amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain, FPYBF-1 (5-(5-(2-(2-(2-fluoroethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)benzofuran-2-yl)-N,N-dimethylpyridin-2-amine), was synthesized and evaluated. In experiments in vitro, FPYBF-1 displayed high affinity for Aβ(1–42) aggregates (Ki = 0.9 nM), and substantial labeling of β-amyloid plaques in sections of postmortem AD brains but not control brains. In experiments in vivo, [18F]FPYBF-1 displayed good initial uptake (5.16%ID/g at 2 min postinjection) and rapid washout from the brain (2.44%ID/g at 60 min postinjection) in normal mice, and excellent binding to β-amyloid plaques in a murine model of AD. Furthermore, the specific labeling of plaques labeling was observed in autoradiographs of autopsied AD brain sections. [18F]FPYBF-1 may be a useful probe for imaging β-amyloid plaques in living brain tissue.
