A series of novel 5- and 6-substituted 2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-1,3-benzoxazoles was synthesized and their potential as imaging probes for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)-related amyloid plaque was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. In vitro binding affinities for Aβ1–40 peptide of several of these compounds were in the low-nanomolar range . The lowest Kiof 9.3nM was found for N-(2-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)-1,3-benzoxazol-5-yl)-4-iodobenzamide (1e). Its123I-radiolabeled form ([123I]1e) was subsequently prepared by iododestannylation of the corresponding tributylstannyl precursor and evaluated in vivo in a baboon model using SPECT imaging. Contrary to our expectations, 1e did not cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB) to any significant extent.
