We report herein the application of kinetically inert luminescent iridium(III) complexes as dual inhibitors and probes of beta-amyloid fibrillogenesis. These iridium(III) complexes inhibited Aβ1-40 peptide aggregation in vitro, and protected against Aβ-induced cytotoxicity in neuronal cells. Furthermore, the complexes differentiated between the aggregated and unaggregated forms of Aβ1-40 peptide on the basis of their emission response.
我们在此报告动力学惰性发光铱(III)配合物作为β-淀粉样蛋白纤维形成的双重抑制剂和探针的应用。这些铱(III)配合物在体外抑制Aβ1-40肽聚集,并保护神经元细胞免受Aβ诱导的细胞毒性。此外,这些配合物根据其发射响应区分Aβ1-40肽的聚集形式和未聚集形式。
