(E)-5-Styryl-1H-indole and (E)-6-Styrylquinoline Derivatives Serve as Probes for β-Amyloid Plaques

We report the synthesis and biological evaluation of novel (E)-5-styryl-1H-indole and (E)-6-styrylquinoline derivatives as probes for imaging β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques. These derivatives showed binding affinities for Aβ1–40 aggregates with Ki values varying from 4.1 to 288.4 nM. (E)-5-(4-iodostyryl)-1H...
