Abstract: Age-associated deposition of amyloid-β in cerebral blood vessels, a condition referred to as cerebral amyloid angiopathy, can contribute to stroke and dementia. This research aimed to design new radioactive technetium-99?m complexes that bind to amyloid-β plaques that have the potential to assist in diagnosis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy using single-photon-emitted computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. Six new pyridylthiosemicarbazide ligands containing either benzofuran or styrylpyridyl functional groups that are known to selectively bind to amyloid plaques were prepared. Non-radioactive isotopes of technetium are not available so rhenium was used as a surrogate for exploratory chemistry. The new ligands were used to prepare well-defined [Re-oxo]3+ complexes where two pyridylthiosemicarbazide ligands were coordinated to a single metal ion to give bivalent complexes with two amyloid-β targeting functional groups. The interaction of the [Re-oxo]3+ complexes with synthetic amyloid-β1-42 and with amyloid plaques in human brain tissue was investigated. Two ligands were selected to develop methods to prepare their [99mTc-oxo]3+ complexes at the tracer level. These technetium-99?m complexes are likely to be isostructural to their rhenium-oxo analogues.

One of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is the presence of amyloid-β plaques in the brain and the major constituent of these plaques is aggregated amyloid-β peptide. New thiosemicarbazone-pyridylhydrazine based ligands that incorporate functional groups designed to bind amyloid-β plaques have been synthesized. The new ligands form stable four coordinate complexes with a positron-emitting radioactive isotope of copper, 64Cu. Two of the new CuII complexes include a functionalized styrylpyridine group and these complexes bind to amyloid-β plaques in samples of post-mortem human brain tissue. Strategies to increase brain uptake by functional group manipulation have led to a 64Cu complex that effectively crosses the blood-brain barrier in wild-type mice. The new complexes described in this manuscript provide insight into strategies to deliver metal complexes to amyloid-β plaques.
