Abstract:
New ferulic acid and benzothiazole dimer derivatives were synthesized and evaluated by in vitro competition assay using [(125)I]TZDM for their specific binding affinities to Abeta fibrils. In particular, 4a showed the most excellent binding affinity (K(i)=0.53 nM), compared to PIB (K(i)=0.77 nM), for benzothiazole binding sites of Abeta(1-42) fibrils. This result suggests a possibility of a potential AD diagnostic probe for detection of Abeta fibrils.

Globular and Fibrous Proteins
Globular proteins are also known as spheroproteins and typically are approximately round in shape. They contain a mix of amino acid types and contain differing sequences in their primary structures. Globular proteins have many different functions, such as enzymes, cellular messengers, and molecular transporters. These roles often require the proteins to be...
