Accumulation of beta-amyloid aggregates (A beta) in the brain is linked to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We report a novel approach for producing 1,4-diphenyltriazoles as probes for targeting A beta aggregates in the brain. The imaging probes, a series of substituted tricyclic 1,4-diphenyltriazoles showing excellent binding affinities to A beta aggregates (K-i = 4-30 nM), were conveniently assembled by "click chemistry." Two radioiodinated probes, [I-125]10a and [I-125]10b, and two radiofluorinated probes, [F-18]17a and [F-18]17b, exhibited moderate lipophilicities and showed excellent initial brain penetrations and fast washouts from the normal mouse brain. In vitro autoradiography of postmortem AD brain sections and homogenates showed that these triazoles were binding to A beta plaques. Preliminary results strongly suggest that use of click chemistry, which led to a 1,4-diphenyltriazole-based core, is a highly convenient and flexible approach for assembling novel imaging agents for targeting A beta aggregates in senile plaques in the living human brain.
