Development of β-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles is the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and progressively affects the overall functioning of the brain. Noninvasive imaging methods aiding early diagnosis will significantly improve benefits provided by treatments and possibly lead to prevention of AD. We report the development of PET radiotracer methods for β-amyloid plaques and tangles, nicotinic α4β2 receptors, serotonin 5HT1A receptors, dopamine D2/D3 receptors and norepinephrine transporters for the study of AD. This multi-target approach is currently being evaluated in AD transgenic mice models. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
β-淀粉样蛋白斑块和神经纤维缠结是阿尔茨海默氏症(AD)的特征,会逐渐影响大脑的整体功能。非侵入性成像方法有助于早期诊断,将显著提高治疗的效果,并有可能预防阿尔茨海默氏症。我们报告了用于研究阿尔茨海默氏症的PET放射性示踪剂方法的发展,包括β-淀粉样蛋白斑块和缠结、烟碱α4β2受体、5-羟色胺5HT1A受体、多巴胺D2/D3受体和去甲肾上腺素转运体。目前,这种多靶点方法正在阿尔茨海默氏症转基因小鼠模型中进行评估。版权所有 © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
