A potential fluorescence probe for in vivo detection of cerebral b-amyloid fibrils, (E)-2-(2-(2-(5-(dimethylamino)thiophen-2-yl)vinyl)-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)malononitrile (PT-1), was synthesized and
evaluated. In experiments in vitro, PT-1 exhibited clear labeling of b-amyloid fibrils and significant fluorescence changes upon binding to aggregated b-amyloid fibrils. It also showed favorite kinetics in the
brain, which is critical for cerebral imaging. In vivo fluorescence imaging with PT-1 and semi-quantitative
analysis of the images further confirmed noninvasive visualization of cerebral b-amyloid fibrils in vivo
and obvious distinction between APP/PS1 transgenic mice and wild-type controls. The results demonstrate the potential of PT-1 as a novel fluorescence probe for noninvasive prediction of cerebral b-amyloid
fibrils.

Figure 2. Fluorescence staining of b-amyloid fibrils from an aged APP/PS1 brain section with PT-1 (A). b-Amyloid plaques were confirmed by thioflavin S staining of the
adjacent brain section (B). Autofluorescence was not observed under the same imaging condition (C).

Figure 5. Representative images around brain areas of APP/PS1 and age-matched wild-type controls preinjection and postinjection of PT-1 (2.0 mg/kg).
Figure 7. Fluorescence observation of ex vivo brain sections from APP/PS1 transgenic mice and wild-type controls. Brains were removed at 60 min postinjection of PT-1
(2.0 mg/kg). b-Amyloid plaques in brain tissue from APP/PS1 transgenic mouse was clearly visualized (A) while no labeling was observed by this probe in wild-type brains (C).
b-Amyloid plaques were confirmed by staining the adjacent brain section with thioflavin S (B).
