Abstract
The ability to detect and monitor amyloid deposition in the brain using non-invasive imaging techniques provides valuable insights into the early diagnosis and progression of Alzheimer's disease and helps to evaluate the efficacy of potential treatments. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely available technique offering high-spatial-resolution imaging. It can be used to visualize amyloid deposits with the help of amyloid-binding diagnostic agents injected into the body. In recent years, a number of amyloid-targeted MRI probes have been developed, but none of them has entered clinical practice. We review the advances in the field and deduce the requirements for the molecular structure and properties of a diagnostic probe candidate. These requirements make up the base for the rational design of MRI-active small molecules targeting amyloid deposits. Particular attention is paid to the novel cryo-EM structures of the fibril aggregates and their complexes, with known binders offering the possibility to use computational structure-based design methods. With continued research and development, MRI probes may revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, ultimately improving the lives of millions of people worldwide.

An aptamer-based magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent for detecting oligomeric amyloid-β in the brain of an Alzheimer's disease mouse model. NMR IN BIOMEDICINE 2023; 36:e4862.

Abstract
The oligomeric amyloid-β (oAβ) is a reliable feature for an early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, the objective of this study was to demonstrate imaging of oAβ deposits using our developed DNA aptamer called ob5 conjugated with gadolinium (Gd)-dodecane tetraacetic acid (DOTA) as a contrast agent for early diagnosis of AD using MRI. An oAβ-specific aptamer was developed by amide bond formation and conjugated to Gd-DOTA MRI contrast agent and/or cyanine5 (cy5). We verified the performance of our new contrast agent with an AD mouse model using in vivo and ex vivo fluorescent imaging and animal MRI experiments. The presence of soluble Aβ in 3xTg AD mice was detected using GdDOTA-ob5-cy5 probe ex vivo. Fluorescence intensities of the GdDOTA-ob5-cy5 contrast agent were high in the brains of 3xTg-AD mice, but relatively low in the brains of control mice. The GdDOTA-ob5 contrast agent had higher relaxivity than a clinically available contrast agent. T1-weighted MRI signals in 5-month-old 3xTg AD mice increased at 5 min, were prolonged until 10 min, then decreased 15 min after injecting the GdDOTA-ob5 contrast agent. Our targeted DNA aptamer GdDOTA-ob5 contrast agent could be potentially useful for validating the efficacy of a novel diagnostic contrast agent for selectively targeting neurotoxic oAβ. It could ultimately be used for early diagnosis of AD.

Abstract
Beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptide is one of the main characteristic biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous clinical investigations have proposed that unusual concentrations of this biomarker in cerebrospinal fluid, blood, and brain tissue are closely associated with the AD progression. Therefore, the critical point of early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of AD is to monitor the levels of Aβ. In view of the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for diagnosing and treating the AD, much attention has been focused in recent years. This review discusses the latest advances in the applications of MOFs for the early diagnosis of AD via fluorescence and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection of AD biomarkers, fluorescence detection of the main metal ions in the brain (Zn2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Fe3+, and Al3+) in addition to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the Aβ plaques. The current challenges and future strategies for translating the in vitro applications of MOFs into in vivo diagnosis of the AD are discussed.

Abstract
[18F]BAY-94-9172, [18F]AV-45, and [18F]GE-067 were FDA approved positron emission tomography (PET) imaging radiotracer of β-amyloid plaques (Aβ) in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the radiochemical synthesis requires multi-step reactions and complex procedure. Recently, a protocol for radiochemical synthesis of sulfur fluoride exchange (SuFEx) using ultrafast 19F/18F isotopic exchange had been reported. We developed three pairs of novel 18F-labeled radiotracers by the "SuFEx" method for PET imaging Aβ plaques. The 18F labeling reaction can be completed quickly (30 s) at room temperature and purified using solid-phase extraction (SPE). The radiochemical purity (RCP) of the products was all greater than 95 %. In vitro fluorescent staining using Aβ-transgenesis mice section preliminary verified the affinity of tracers with Aβ. Competitive binding assay displayed high affinity of tracers for towards artificial Aβ1-42 aggregates (Ki values ranging from 3.53 ± 0.39 to 42.0 ± 4.24 nM). In vivo biodistribution and Micro-PET imaging showed that [18F]-Sulfur Fluoride β-Amyloid ([18F]SFA 1-6) could penetration the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in wild-type mice, and [18F]SFA 5-6 had a high initial brain uptake value (3.65 ± 0.9 % and 5.07 ± 0.1 % ID/g, respectively) and a fast washout (Brain uptake2 min/60 min = 4.15 and 4.61, respectively) from the brain. In vitro autoradiography demonstrated the affinity of the [18F]SFA 5-6 to Aβ plaques in AD human brain tissues. Our results suggested that [18F]SFA maybe a potential PET radiotracers for detecting Aβ in Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Metal chelates targeted to amyloid peptides are widely explored as diagnostic tools or therapeutic agents. The attachment of a metal complex to amyloid recognition units typically leads to a decrease in peptide affinity. We show here that by separating a macrocyclic GdL chelate and a PiB targeting unit with a long hydrophobic C10 linker, it is possible to attain nanomolar affinities for both Aβ1-40 (Kd =4.4 nm) and amylin (Kd =4.5 nm), implicated, respectively in Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. The Scatchard analysis of surface plasmon resonance data obtained for a series of amphiphilic, PiB derivative GdL complexes indicate that their Aβ1-40 or amylin binding affinity varies with their concentration, thus micellar aggregation state. The GdL chelates also affect peptide aggregation kinetics, as probed by thioflavin-T fluorescence assays. A 2D NMR study allowed identifying that the hydrophilic region of Aβ1-40 is involved in the interaction between the monomer peptide and the Gd3+ complex. Finally, ex vivo biodistribution experiments were conducted in healthy mice by using 111 In labeled analogues. Their pancreatic uptake, ∼3 %ID g-1 , is promising to envisage amylin imaging in diabetic animals.

Abstract
One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the deposition of amyloid plaques in the brain parenchyma, which occurs 7-15 years before the onset of cognitive symptoms of the pathology. Timely diagnostics of amyloid formations allows identifying AD at an early stage and initiating inhibitor therapy, delaying the progression of the disease. However, clinically used radiopharmaceuticals based on 11C and 18F are synchrotron-dependent and short-lived. The design of new metal-containing radiopharmaceuticals for AD visualization is of interest. The development of coordination compounds capable of effectively crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) requires careful selection of a ligand moiety, a metal chelating scaffold, and a metal cation, defining the method of supposed Aβ visualization. In this review, we have summarized metal-containing drugs for positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging of Alzheimer's disease. The obtained data allow assessing the structure-ability to cross the BBB ratio.

Abstract
The photophysical properties of Eu3+ and Tb3+ complexes of DOTAGA and DO3A-monoamide conjugates of the Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) chromophore, prepared using linkers of different lengths and flexibilities, and which form stable negatively charged (LnL1), and uncharged (LnL2) complexes, respectively, were studied as potential probes for optical detection of amyloid aggregates. The phenylbenzothiazole (PiB) moiety absorbs light at wavelengths longer than 330 nm with a high molar absorption coefficient in both probes, and acts as an antenna in these systems. The presence of the luminescent Ln3+ ion quenches the excited states of PiB through an energy transfer process from the triplet state of PiB to the metal centre, and structured emission is seen from Eu3+ and Tb3+. The luminescence study indicates the presence of a 5D4 → T1 back transfer process in the Tb3+ complexes. It also provides insights on structural properties of the Eu3+ complexes, such as the high symmetry environment of the Eu3+ ion in a single macrocyclic conformation and the presence of one water molecule in its inner coordination sphere. The overall quantum yield of luminescence of EuL1 is higher than for EuL2. However, their low values reflect the low overall sensitization efficiency of the energy transfer process, which is a consequence of the large distances between the metal center and the antenna, especially in the EuL2 complex. DFT calculations confirmed that the most stable conformation of the Eu3+ complexes involves a combination of a square antiprismatic (SAP) geometry of the chelate and an extended conformation of the linker. The large calculated average distances between the metal center and the antenna point to the predominance of the Förster energy transfer mechanism, especially for EuL2. This study provides insights into the behavior of amyloid-targeted Ln3+ complexes as optical probes, and contributes towards their rational design.

Abstract
A range of poly ethoxy ethyl glycinamide (PEE-G) dendron scaffolds with gadolinium (III) complexes attached were synthesized with a focus on product purity and high Gd(III) loading. The nuclear magnetic resonance relaxivity of these products was measured and compared with commercially available low-molecular-weight magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. Over twice the relaxivity based on Gd(III) concentration, and up to 20-fold increase in relaxivity were observed based on molecular concentration. Relaxivity properties were observed to increase with both increasing molecular weight and number of Gd(III) complexes attached, however a plateau was reached for molecular weight increase. T1 and T2 relaxivity properties were also investigated at two different magnetic fields. Transverse relaxivity is unaffected by magnetic field strength whereas increase in longitudinal relaxivity was not as pronounced at the higher field.

Abstract
Protein aggregation has been widely implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington disease, as well as in systemic amyloidoses and conditions associated with localized amyloid deposits, such as type-II diabetes. The pressing need for a better understanding of the factors governing protein assembly has driven research for the development of molecular sensors for amyloidogenic proteins. To date, a number of sensors have been developed that report on the presence of protein aggregates utilizing various modalities, and their utility demonstrated for imaging protein aggregation in vitro and in vivo. Analysis of these sensors highlights the various advantages and disadvantages of the different imaging modalities and makes clear that multimodal sensors with properties amenable to more than one imaging technique need to be developed. This critical review highlights the key molecular scaffolds reported for molecular imaging modalities such as fluorescence, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging and includes discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each modality, and future directions for the design of amyloid sensors. We also discuss the recent efforts focused on the design and development of multimodal sensors and the value of cross-validation across multiple modalities.

Abstract
MRI has been recognized as one of the most applied medical imaging techniques in clinical practice. However, the presence of background signal coming from water protons in surrounding tissues makes sometimes the visualization of local contrast agents difficult. To remedy this, fluorine has been introduced as a reliable perspective, thanks to its magnetic properties being relatively close to those of protons. In this review, we aim to give an overall description of fluorine incorporation in contrast agents for MRI. The different kinds of fluorinated probes such as perfluorocarbons, fluorinated dendrimers, polymers and paramagnetic probes will be described, as will their imaging applications such as chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging, physico-chemical changes detection, drug delivery, cell tracking and inflammation or tumors detection.

Abstract
Research on microcirculatory alterations in human heart disease is essential to understand the genesis of myocardial contractile dysfunction and its evolution towards heart failure. The use of contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging is an important tool in medical diagnostics related to this dysfunction. Contrast agents significantly improve the imaging by enhancing the nuclear magnetic relaxation rates of water protons in the tissues where they are distributed. Gadolinium complexes are widely employed in clinical practice due to their high magnetic moment and relatively long electronic relaxation time. In this study, the behavior of gadolinium ion as a contrast agent was investigated by two complementary methods, relaxometry and secondary ion mass spectrometry. The study examined the distribution of blood flow within the microvascular network in ex vivo Langendorff isolated rat heart models, perfused with Omniscan® contrast agent. The combined use of secondary ion mass spectrometry and relaxometry allowed for both a qualitative mapping of agent distribution as well as the quantification of gadolinium ion concentration and persistence. This combination of a chemical mapping and temporal analysis of the molar concentration of gadolinium ion in heart tissue allows for new insights on the biomolecular mechanisms underlying the microcirculatory alterations in heart disease.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is currently an incurable neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people around the world. The aggregation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ), one of the primary pathological hallmarks of AD, plays a key role in the AD pathogenesis. In this regard, Aβ aggregates have been considered as both biomarkers and drug targets for the diagnosis and therapy of AD. Various Aβ-targeted metal complexes have exhibited promising potential as anti-AD agents due to their fascinating physicochemical properties over the past two decades. This review classifies the complexes into three groups based on their potential applications in AD including therapy, diagnosis and theranosis. The recent representative examples are highlighted in terms of design rationale, working mechanism and potential applications.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by depositions of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide in the brain. The disease process develops over decades, with substantial neurological loss occurring before a clinical diagnosis of dementia can be rendered. It is therefore imperative to develop methods that permit early detection and monitoring of disease progression. In addition, the multifactorial pathogenesis of AD has identified several potential avenues for AD intervention. Thus, evaluation of therapeutic candidates over lengthy trial periods also demands a practical, noninvasive method for measuring Aβ in the brain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the obvious choice for such measurements, but contrast enhancement for Aβ has only been achieved using Gd(III)-based agents. There is great interest in gadolinium-free methods to image the brain. In this study, we provide the first demonstration that a nitroxide-based small-molecule produces MRI contrast in brain specimens with elevated levels of Aβ. The molecule is comprised of a fluorene (a molecule with high affinity for Aβ) and a nitroxide spin label (a paramagnetic MRI contrast species). Labeling of brain specimens with the spin-labeled fluorene produces negative contrast in samples from AD model mice whereas no negative contrast is seen in specimens harvested from wild-type mice. Injection of spin-labeled fluorene into live mice resulted in good brain penetration, with the compound able to generate contrast 24-h post injection. These results provide a proof of concept method that can be used for early, noninvasive, gadolinium-free detection of amyloid plaques by MRI.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this work is to develop an efficient and fully automated radiosynthesis of three derivatives of the Pittsburgh compound B labeled with gallium-68 for the detection of amyloid plaques. PROCEDURES The radiolabeling of the precursors and purification of the radiolabeled agents by high pressure liquid chromatography has been studied prior to their in vitro and in vivo evaluations. RESULTS The complete process led, in 50 min, to pure Ga-68 products in a 12-38 % yield and with appreciable specific radioactivity (SRA, 85-168 GBq/μmol) which enabled us to demonstrate a considerable in vivo stability of the products. Unfortunately, this result was associated with a poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and a limited uptake of our compounds by amyloid deposits was observed by in vitro autoradiography. CONCLUSION Although we have not yet identified a compound able to significantly mark cerebral amyloidosis, this present investigation will likely contribute to the development of more successful Ga-68 radiotracers.

Abstract
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of amyloid plaques is a powerful non-invasive approach for the early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) along with clinical observations of behavioral changes and cognitive impairment. The present article aims at giving a critical and comprehensive review of recent advances in the development of nanoparticle-based contrast agents for brain MRI. Nanoparticles considered for the MRI of AD must comply with a highly stringent set of requirements including low toxicity and the ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier. In addition, to reach an optimal signal-to-noise ratio, they must exhibit a specific ability to target amyloid plaques, which can be achieved by grafting antibodies, peptides or small molecules. Finally, we propose to consider new directions for the future of MRI in the context of Alzheimer's disease, in particular by enhancing the performances of contrast agents and by including therapeutic functionalities following a theranostic strategy.

Abstract
A new macromolecular biocompatible gadolinium chelate complex (PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd) as a liver-specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent was synthesised and evaluated. An aspartic acid–isoleucine copolymer was chemically linked with Gd-DOTA via ethylenediamine to give PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd. In vitro, the T1-relaxivity of PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd (14.38 mmol–1⋅L⋅s–1, 0.5 T) was much higher than that of the clinically used Gd-DOTA (4.96 mmol–1⋅L⋅s–1, 0.5 T), with obvious imaging signal enhancement. In the imaging experiments in vivo, PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd exhibited good liver selectivity, and had a greater intensity enhancement (68.8 ± 5.6 %) and a longer imaging window time (30–70 min), compared to Gd-DOTA (21.1 ± 5.3 %, 10–30 min). Furthermore, the in vivo histological studies of PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd showed a low acute toxicity and desirable biocompatibility. The results of this study indicate that PAI-N2-DOTA-Gd is a feasible liver-specific contrast agent for MRI.

Abstract
PURPOSE To optimize magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of antibody-conjugated superparamagnetic nanoparticles for detecting amyloid-β plaques and activated microglia in a 3X transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten 3X Tg mice were fed either chow or chow containing 100 ppm resveratrol. Four brains, selected from animals injected with either anti-amyloid targeted superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, or anti-Iba-1-conjugated FePt-nanoparticles, were excised, fixed with formalin, and placed in Fomblin for ex vivo MRI (11.7T) using multislice-multiecho, multiple gradient echo, rapid acquisition with relaxation enhancement, and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI). Aβ plaques and areas of neuroinflammation appeared as hypointense regions whose number, location, and Z-score were measured as a function of sequence type and echo time. RESULTS The MR contrast was due to the shortening of the transverse relaxation time of the plaque-adjacent tissue water. A theoretical analysis of this effect showed that the echo time was the primary determinant of plaque contrast and was used to optimize Z-scores. The Z-scores of the detected lesions varied from 21 to 34 as the echo times varied from 4 to 25 msec, with SWI providing the highest Z-score and number of detected lesions. Computation of the entire plaque and activated microglial distributions in 3D showed that resveratrol treatment led to a reduction of ∼24-fold of Aβ plaque density and ∼4-fold in microglial activation. CONCLUSION Optimized MRI of antibody-conjugated superparamagnetic nanoparticles served to reveal the 3D distributions of both Aβ plaques and activated microglia and to measure the effects of drug treatments in this 3X Tg model.
