Alzheimer′s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder and does not have a proper cure yet. The formation and accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques in the brain is thought to be a critical pathological hallmark for early diagnosis of AD. Current gold standard probes for histological staining of amyloid fibrils, such as thioflavin derivatives, have several drawbacks. These probes suffer from noises from always-on pattern, limited blood-brain-barrier (BBB) penetration and distorted signals.BioTracker NIR Amyloid-β Plaque Imaging Dye is aggregation-induced-emission (AIE) active probe that can be used to detect amyloid-β plaques in vivo as well as ex-vivo. This probe has been tested in mouse models of AD, as well as ex-vivo brain tissue sections. The BioTracker probe possess excellent features, such as: (1) ultrahigh signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio with integrating background minimization and fidelity signal amplification, (2) remarkable binding affinity to Aβ plaques with efficient BBB penetrability, and (3) NIR AIE-active emission with excellent photostability.
