Quick Assembly of 1,4-Diphenyltriazoles as Probes Targeting β-Amyloid Aggregates in Alzheimer's Disease
摘要:
Accumulation of beta-amyloid aggregates (A beta) in the brain is linked to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We report a novel approach for producing 1,4-diphenyltriazoles as probes for targeting A beta aggregates in the brain. The imaging probes, a series of substituted tricyclic 1,4-diphenyltriazoles showing excellent binding affinities to A beta aggregates (K-i = 4-30 nM), were conveniently assembled by "click chemistry." Two radioiodinated probes, [I-125]10a and [I-125]10b, and two radiofluorinated probes, [F-18]17a and [F-18]17b, exhibited moderate lipophilicities and showed excellent initial brain penetrations and fast washouts from the normal mouse brain. In vitro autoradiography of postmortem AD brain sections and homogenates showed that these triazoles were binding to A beta plaques. Preliminary results strongly suggest that use of click chemistry, which led to a 1,4-diphenyltriazole-based core, is a highly convenient and flexible approach for assembling novel imaging agents for targeting A beta aggregates in senile plaques in the living human brain.

cyclopolymerized with a rhodiumcatalyst to produce novel poly(phenylacetylene)s bearing a different cavity size of the chiral crown ether in the repeating units (2a–c). In the circular dichroism spectra of the resulting polymers, characteristic Cotton effects were observed in the range from 350 to 500 nm corresponding to the absorption of the conjugated polymer backbone, indicating that the polymers possessed a

Two new phenylacetylene derivatives, 5-((4-(2-(2-(2-fluoroethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)phenyl)ethynyl)indoline 8 and 5-((4-(2-(2-(2-fluoroethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)phenyl)ethynyl)-1H-indole 14, targeting beta-amyloid ( Ab) plaques have been prepared. In vitro binding carried out in tissue homogenates prepared from postmortem AD brains with [(125)[] IMPY (6-iodo-2-(40-dimethylamino-phenyl-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine) as the radioligand indicated good binding affinities (K-i = 4.0 and 1.5 nM for 8 and 14, respectively). Brain penetration of the corresponding radiofluorinated ligands, evaluated in the normal mice, showed good initial brain penetration (4.50 and 2.43% ID/g (injected dose/gram) for [F-18]8 and [F-18]14 at 2 min after injection) with moderate to low washout rates from the brain (1.71% ID/g at 2h and 2.10% ID/g at 3 h, respectively). Autoradiography and homogenate binding studies demonstrated the high specific binding of [F-18]14 to the Ab plaques; however, [F-18]8 showed low specific binding. These preliminary results identified that indolylphenylacetylene, 14, may be a good lead for further structural modi. cation to develop a useful Ab plaque imaging agent. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

Highly rigid and geometrically well-defined rods composed of ethynylene-substituted aromatic spacers [oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene), OPE] were incorporated as acyl moieties on diacylglycerol lactones (DAG-lactones) and investigated for their ability to bind to protein kinase C (PKC) and translocate PKC alpha and delta isoforms to plasma and internal membranes. The kinetics of PKC translocation were correlated with biological responses, viz. ERK phosphorylation, induction of IL-6 secretion, inhibition of cell proliferation, and induction of cellular attachment, that display very different time courses. Because OPE rods assemble through noncovalent forces and form stable films, they may influence the microdomain environment around the DAG-lactone membrane-binding site. A comparison of two DAG-lactones (1 and 10), one with two PE units (1) and the other with an equivalent flexible acyl chain (10) of matching lipophilicity, clearly demonstrated the effect of the rigid OPE chain in substantially prolonging the translocated state of both PKC alpha and delta.
