A bis (thiosemicarbazonato) complex radiolabeled with positron emitting Cu-64 can be used for a new and alternative method for the non-invasive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease using positron emission tomography (PET). Most imaging agents being investigated for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease target amyloid-beta plaque burden but our new approach highlights altered copper homeostasis. This approach has the potential to offer complementary information to other diagnostic procedures that elucidate plaque burden.
一种用正电子发射体 Cu-64 标记的双(硫代氨基甲酸盐)配合物,可用于使用正电子发射断层扫描 (PET) 进行阿尔茨海默病的非侵入性诊断的新的替代方法。大多数正在研究的用于诊断阿尔茨海默病的成像剂针对淀粉样β斑块负担,但我们的新方法强调了铜代谢的改变。这种方法有可能为阐明斑块负担的其他诊断程序提供补充信息。
