Optically Pure Diphenoxy Derivatives as More Flexible Probes for β-Amyloid Plaques
ACS Chemical Neuroscience(2016)
Abstract
The highly rigid and planar scaffold with π-conjugated systems has been widely considered to be indispensable for Aβ binding probes. However, the flexible benzyloxybenzene derivative [125I]BOB-4 represents an excellent lead candidate for targeting Aβ in AD brains. Based on that, we designed two pairs of more flexible and optically pure diphenoxy derivatives with a chiral center as novel Aβ probes. These compounds possessed high affinity (Ki = 15.8–45.0 nM) for Aβ1–42 aggregates, and (R)-enantiomers showed slightly better binding ability than (S)-enantiomers. In addition, the competition binding assay implied that the optically pure diphenoxy derivatives with more flexible geometry shared the same binding site as IMPY, a classical rigid and planar Aβ probe. For 125I-radiolabeled enantiomers, (S)-[125I]5 and (R)-[125I]5, specific plaque labeling on brain sections of Tg mice and AD patients were observed in in vitro autoradiography, persuasively proving the excellent affinity of the probes. In biodistributio...
