Abstract

Herein we report a new series of bifunctional chelators (BFCs) with high affinity for amyloid β aggregates, strong binding affinity towards Cu(ii), and favorable lipophilicity for potential blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration. The alkyl carboxylate ester pendant arms show high binding affinity towards Cu(ii). The BFCs form stable 64Cu-radiolabeled complexes and exhibit favorable partition coefficient (log D) values of 0.75–0.95. Among the five compounds tested, 64Cu-YW-1 and 64Cu-YW-13 complexes exhibit significant staining of amyloid plaques in ex vivo autoradiography studies.
