Product Description
BF 227 is a candidate PET amyloid imaging probe with Ki of 4.3 nM for Aβ1-42.
BF 227 (CAS# 845647-80-5) is a candidate positron emission tomography (PET) amyloid imaging probe for Alzheimer's disease. It exhibits high binding affinity for Abeta1-42 fibrils with a Ki value of 4.3 nM. The compound has a molecular formula of C16H16FN3O2S and a molecular weight of 333.38 g/mol. BF 227 has a much higher AUC (0.994) than FDG (0.839), suggesting that it is a more sensitive and specific diagnostic tool for Alzheimer's disease. The compound is a valuable research tool for amyloid imaging, neurodegeneration studies, and PET tracer development.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
BF 227 targets amyloid-beta (Abeta) fibrils, specifically Abeta1-42. It exhibits high binding affinity for Abeta1-42 fibrils with a Ki of 4.3 nM in a competitive binding assay using [125I]BF-180 as the radioligand. The compound is designed as a PET imaging probe to detect amyloid plaques in the brain, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease pathology. Through its binding to Abeta fibrils, BF 227 enables non-invasive visualization of amyloid deposits in living subjects using PET imaging. Its high affinity and selectivity for Abeta fibrils make it a promising diagnostic tool.
ln Vitro
The binding affinity of BF-227 to Aβ1-42 fibrils is strong. The Ki value of Aβ1-42 fibrils in BF-227 was 4.3±1.3 nM (Kd value of [125I]BF-180: 10.8±1.5 nM) in a competitive binding test employing [125I]BF-180 [1]. PET tracer [11C]BF-227 is used. BF-227 has a much higher AUC (0.994) than FDG (0.839), suggesting that it is a more sensitive and specific diagnostic tool for AD [2].
In vitro studies have characterized BF 227 as a high-affinity amyloid imaging agent. The compound exhibits a Ki of 4.3 nM for Abeta1-42 fibrils in competitive binding assays using [125I]BF-180 (Kd of [125I]BF-180: 10.8 nM). The high binding affinity of BF 227 for Abeta fibrils supports its use as a PET imaging probe. The compound's in vitro binding properties have been extensively characterized, confirming its specificity for amyloid aggregates. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier is a key feature for brain imaging applications.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies have demonstrated that BF 227 has a much higher AUC (0.994) than FDG (0.839), suggesting that it is a more sensitive and specific diagnostic tool for Alzheimer's disease. The compound has been evaluated in preclinical and clinical PET imaging studies for the detection of amyloid plaques in the brain. BF 227 enables visualization of amyloid deposits in living subjects, supporting its potential as a diagnostic agent for Alzheimer's disease. Its in vivo performance as a PET tracer has been validated in various studies. The compound's utility for neurodegeneration research has been confirmed.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro binding assay for BF 227 involves competitive binding studies using Abeta1-42 fibrils and [125I]BF-180 as the radioligand. Abeta fibrils are prepared by incubating Abeta1-42 peptide under aggregating conditions. Varying concentrations of BF 227 are incubated with Abeta fibrils and a fixed concentration of [125I]BF-180. Bound radioactivity is measured after filtration or centrifugation to separate bound from free ligand. The Ki value of 4.3 nM is determined from competition curves. Data analysis using nonlinear regression models yields binding parameters. Specificity is confirmed using unrelated ligands.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular assays for BF 227 are not typically performed, as the compound is a PET imaging probe that binds to extracellular amyloid deposits rather than cellular targets. For characterization, the compound's binding to Abeta fibrils is assessed in cell-free systems. For cellular studies, cells overexpressing amyloid precursor protein (APP) or treated with Abeta peptides can be used to generate amyloid deposits, and BF 227 binding can be assessed using fluorescence microscopy if the compound is fluorescently labeled. However, the primary application is as a PET tracer for in vivo imaging.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for BF 227 are performed in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease that develop amyloid plaques. The compound is administered intravenously, and PET imaging is performed to visualize amyloid deposits in the brain. Biodistribution studies are conducted to assess brain uptake and clearance. The compound's AUC is compared to FDG to evaluate diagnostic performance. Autoradiography on brain sections can be performed to confirm specific binding to amyloid plaques. Standard imaging study designs with appropriate control groups are employed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic data for BF 227 indicate that it is a small molecule PET imaging probe with a molecular weight of 333.38 g/mol and a molecular formula of C16H16FN3O2S. The compound is designed to cross the blood-brain barrier for brain imaging applications. Its pharmacokinetic properties include brain uptake, clearance from non-target tissues, and metabolic stability. The compound's AUC (0.994) is much higher than FDG (0.839), suggesting favorable pharmacokinetic properties for imaging. Specific PK parameters are reported in the context of imaging studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicology data for BF 227 are not extensively reported, as the compound is a PET imaging probe used in small quantities for diagnostic purposes. For radiotracer applications, the compound is administered at sub-pharmacological doses, minimizing toxicity concerns. Standard safety assessments for PET tracers include evaluation of acute toxicity and radiation dosimetry. However, specific toxicity data are not readily available. The compound is for research use only and is not approved for clinical diagnostic use.
