ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The formation of amyloid-ß (Aß) plaques is one of the key neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Near-infrared (NIR) probes show great potential for imaging of Aß plaques in vivo and in vitro. Dicyanoisophorone (DCIP) based Aß probes have attracted considerable attention due to their exceptional properties. However, DCIP probes still has some drawbacks, such as short emission wavelength (<650 nm) and low fluorescence intensity after binding to Aß. It is clear that further modification is needed to improve their luminescence efficiency and sensitivity.RESULTS:
We designed and synthesize four novel pyrrolidine-alkylamino-substituted DCIP derivatives (6a-d) as imaging agents for ß-amyloid (Aß) aggregates. Compound 6c responds better to Aß aggregates than the other three compounds (6a, 6b and 6d) and its precursor DCIP. The calculated detection limit is to be as low as 0.23 µM. Compound 6c shows no cytotoxicity in the tested concentration for SH-SY5Y and HL-7702 cells. Additionally, compound 6c is successfully applied to monitor Aß aggregates in live SH-SY5Y cells and APP/PS1 transgenic mice. The retention time in the transgenic mice brain is much longer than that of age-matched wild-type mice.SIGNIFICANCE:
The results indicates that compound 6c had an excellent ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and it could effectively distinguish APP/PS1 transgenic mice and wide-type mice. This represents its promising applications for Aß detection in basic and biomedical research.Key words
