Abstract:
The invention relates to compounds having high affinity for the Aß protein, a-synuclein, or PHF-tau aggregates, wherein said compounds are suitable as preferably fluorescent probes for the in vivo diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and Parkinson's disease. The compounds are characterized by suitable physiochemical properties (excitation wavelength, emission wavelength, Stokes shift, extinction) and high affinity and selectivity for the target proteins.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds having a high affinity for the Abeta protein, alpha-synuclein or for Tau-PHF aggregates, which are suitable as preferably fluorescent probes for the in-vivo diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. The compounds are distinguished by suitable physiochemical properties (excitation wavelength, emission wavelength, Stokes shift, extinction) and also high affinity and selectivity for the target proteins.
