In vivo fluorescence imaging of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques in the brain is expected to be used as a new method for detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD). We synthesized novel push-pull dimethylaminothiophenyl (DTM) derivatives and evaluated their utility as in vivo fluorescence imaging probes targeting Aβ plaques. As a result, we found that DTM-2 is a promising fluorescent probe for Aβ plaques in the AD brains.
大脑中β-淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)斑块的体内荧光成像有望用作检测阿尔茨海默病(AD)的新方法。我们合成了新型推拉式二甲基氨基硫苯基(DTM)衍生物,并评估了它们作为靶向Aβ斑块的体内荧光成像探针的效用。结果,我们发现DTM-2是用于AD大脑中Aβ斑块的一种有前景的荧光探针。
