Synthesis and Evaluation of 11C-Labeled Imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles (IBTs) as PET Tracers for Imaging β-Amyloid Plaques in Alzheimer’s Disease
摘要:
We report a novel series of C-11-labeled imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles (IBTs) as tracers for imaging of cerebral beta-amyloid (A beta) deposits in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) by means of positron emission tomography (PET). From a series of 11 compounds, candidates were identified to have a high binding affinity for A beta. Selected compounds were prepared as O- or N-[C-11]methyl derivatives and shown to have a high initial brain uptake in wild-type mice (range 1.9-9.2% I.D./g at 5 min). 2-(p-[C-11]Methylaminophenyl)-7-methoxyimidazo[2,1-b] benzothiazole ([C-11]5) was identified as a lead based on the combined favorable properties of high initial brain uptake, rapid clearance from normal brain, and high in vitro affinity for A beta(1-40) (K-i = 3.5 nM) and A beta(1-42) (5.8 nM), which were superior to the Pittsburgh compound B (1a). In an APP/PSI mouse model of AD (Tg), we demonstrate a specific uptake of [C-11]5 in A beta-containing telencephalic brain regions by means of small-animal PET that was confirmed by regional brain biodistribution, ex vivo autoradiography, and immunohistochemistry. Analysis of brain sections of Tg mice receiving a single bolus injection of [C-11]5 and [H-3]1a together revealed that the tracers bind to A beta plaques in the brain of Tg mice in a comparable pattern. Taken together, these data suggest that IBTs represent useful PET imaging agents for high-sensitivity detection of A beta plaques.

The invention relates to the provision of compounds, methods for producing them, and their use for imaging and quantification of aggregates of amyloid peptides in vivo. In a preferred aspect of the invention, a tracer is administered to humans and displays enrichment in the areas that are containing amyloid plaques. Tracers of the invention can be used for in vivo visualization and quantification of aggregates of amyloid peptides in patients affected diseases characterized in the generation of aggregates of amyloid peptides, for example familial or sporadic Alzheimer's disease and type II diabetes. Tracers of the invention can be used for monitoring effects of amyloid-modulating therapies of patients affected with diseases characterized in the generation of aggregates of amyloid peptides, for example familial or sporadic Alzheimer's disease and type II diabetes.
