Multidentate (18)F-polypegylated styrylpyridines as imaging agents for A? plaques in cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).


ABSTRACT: ?-Amyloid plaques (A? plaques) in the brain are associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Imaging agents that could target the A? plaques in the living human brain would be potentially valuable as biomarkers in patients with CAA. A new series of (18)F styrylpyridine derivatives with high molecular weights for selectively targeting A? plaques in the blood vessels of the brain but excluded from the brain parenchyma is reported. The styrylpyridine derivatives, 8a-c, display high binding affinities and specificity to A? plaques (K(i) = 2.87, 3.24, and 7.71 nM, respectively). In vitro autoradiography of [(18)F]8a shows labeling of ?-amyloid plaques associated with blood vessel walls in human brain sections of subjects with CAA and also in the tissue of AD brain sections. The results suggest that [(18)F]8a may be a useful PET imaging agent for selectively detecting A? plaques associated with cerebral vessels in the living human brain.
