Journal ArticleDOI

Design, selection, and characterization of thioflavin-based intercalation compounds with metal chelating properties for application in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: The fluorescence features of HBX, HBT, BM, and the corresponding iodinated derivatives, together with fluorescence microscopy studies on two types of pregrown fibrils, have shown that HBX and HBT compounds could behave as potential markers for the presence of amyloid fibril buildup and may be especially suitable for radioisotopic detection of Abeta deposits.
Journal ArticleDOI

The art of building multifunctional metal-binding agents from basic molecular scaffolds for the potential application in neurodegenerative diseases

TL;DR: The state-of-the-art in this latest strategy for designing metal-ion chelators as potential therapeutic agents in neurodegenerative diseases will be discussed, with special emphasis on AD and additional coverage of PD and prion diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of thioflavin-T and its binding to amyloid fibrils: insights at the molecular level

TL;DR: Evidence is given of main stabilizing interactions, which influence the dihedral angle between the two moieties of thioflavin-T and thereby its fluorescence properties; these results shed new light on possible strategies for the design of dyes to bind amyloid fibrils more specifically.
Journal ArticleDOI

N-Aryl-substituted 3-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-2-methyl-4(1H)-pyridinones as agents for Alzheimer's therapy

TL;DR: The pro-ligands were assessed for their antioxidant activity, cytotoxicity and ability to interfere with metal ion-induced amyloid peptide aggregation to screen promising lead compounds, and 3-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-1-[4-bromophenyl)-2-thiazolyl]-2-methyl-4(1H)-pyridinone ([125I]-GL7) was shown to cross the blood–brain barrier using an
