of our studies, we have developed a series of small-molecule probes (SMP) as myelin-imaging agents. Among them are coumarin derivatives, which exhibit promising brain permeability and myelin-binding properties. Herein we report a full account of the design and synthesis of coumarin-based SMPs as myelin-imaging agents. Systematic evaluation of these SMPs in both the CNS and peripheral nervous system
髓鞘形成是脊椎动物神经系统中最基本的生物过程之一。中枢神经系统 (CNS) 髓鞘形成异常和变化可见于许多神经退行性疾病,例如多发性硬化症 (MS)。一个长期的目标是直接检测和量化髓鞘含量,以促进髓鞘相关疾病的诊断和治疗。在我们的研究过程中,我们开发了一系列小分子探针 (SMP) 作为髓鞘成像剂。其中包括香豆素衍生物,其表现出良好的脑渗透性和髓鞘结合特性。在此,我们全面报道了基于香豆素的 SMP 作为髓鞘成像剂的设计和合成。
