Fluorescent amyloid -peptide ligand derivatives as potential diagnostic tools for Alzheimer’s disease*

چکیده
Aβ-peptide ligands based on a cis-glycofused benzopyran structure have been fluores cently labeled using coumarine derivatives. Among the synthesized compounds, two conserved their binding ability to β-amyloid peptides, as shown by NMR experiments. Moreover, exploiting its fluorescent property, it was demonstrated that one of such compounds was able to cross an in vitro model of blood–brain barrier (BBB) and to stain Aβ-deposits.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating disease affecting predominantly the aging population. One of the characteristic pathological hallmarks of AD are neuritic plaques, consisting of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ). While there has been some advancement in diagnostic classification of AD patients according to their clinical severity, no fully reliable method for pre-symptomatic diagnosis of AD is av...

The pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by protein aggregation into amyloid fibrils. In AD, the fibrils are of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide. The development of new approaches based on nanotechnology for early detection and potential treatment of AD is of high current interest. This review describes a pioneering approach involving th...
