99mTc/Re complexes based on flavone and aurone as SPECT probes for imaging cerebral β-amyloid plaques
摘要:
Two Tc-99m/Re complexes based on flavone and aurone were tested as potential probes for imaging beta-amyloid plaques using single photon emission computed tomography. Both Tc-99m-labeled derivatives showed higher affinity for A beta(1-42) aggregates than did Tc-99m-BAT. In sections of brain tissue from an animal model of AD, the Re-flavone derivative 9 and Re-aurone derivative 19 intensely stained beta-amyloid plaques. In biodistribution experiments using normal mice, Tc-99m-labeled flavone and aurone displayed similar radioactivity pharmacokinetics. With additional modifications to improve their brain uptake, Tc-99m complexes based on the flavone or aurone scaffold may serve as probes for imaging cerebral beta-amyloid plaques.

A series of 4'-substituted 5-hydroxyaurone derivatives were synthesized and their inhibitory activities against the proliferation of endothelial cells and two cancer cell lines were studied. Some of these compounds functioned as potent inhibitors against the proliferation of endothelial cells and cancer cells but possessed much weaker cytotoxic activities against non-cancer cell line of CCC-HPF-1. It was demonstrated that two most active compounds 16 and 27 effectively inhibited in vitro endothelial cell motility and tube formation, which are basic properties of endothelial cells for angiogenesis. Moreover, 16 and 27 also showed significant activities against in vitro cancer cell invasion, indicating that they have potential to inhibit cancer metastasis. These composite results suggest that 4'-substituted 5-hydroxyaurone is indeed a candidate structural scaffold for anticancer agent targeting activated endothelial cells and fast-proliferating cancer cells.
