In this report, we reasoned that non-covalent modification of amyloid beta (Aβ) by crown ethers could inhibit its aggregation. We demonstrated that PiB-C, a conjugate PiB and crown ether, could significantly reduce the aggregation in vitro. Additionally, two-photon imaging showed that PiB-C could efficiently label Aβ plaques and CAAs in AD mice.
在本报告中,我们推断冠醚对β淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)的非共价修饰可抑制其聚集。我们证明,芘丁酸-冠醚共轭物(PiB-C)可在体外显著减少聚集。此外,双光子成像显示PiB-C可有效标记AD小鼠中的Aβ斑块和脑淀粉样血管病(CAA)。
