Description

BF-168, a candidate probe for PET, is found to specifically recognize both neuritic and diffuse plaques, with a Ki of 6.4 nM for Aβ1-42.

IC50 & Target

Ki: 6.4 nM (Aβ1-42)[1].

In Vitro

BF-168, a styrylbenzoxazole derivative, is a potent agent that selectively recognizes SPs and NFTs in AD brain. BF-168 is a candidate probe for PET and is found to specifically recognize both neuritic and diffuse plaques, with a Ki of 6.4 nM for Aβ1-42[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Intravenous injection of BF-168 in PS1/APP and APP23 transgenic mice result in specific in vivo labeling to both compact and diffuse amyloid deposits in the brain. In addition, 18F-radiolabeled BF-168 demonstrates abundant initial brain uptake (3.9% injected dose/gm at 2 min after injection) and fast clearance (t1/2=24.7 min) after intravenous administration in normal mice. Furthermore, autoradiograms of brain sections from APP23 transgenic mice at 180 min after intravenous injection of [18F]BF-168 shows selective labeling of brain amyloid deposits with little nonspecific binding[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
