Abstract
The excessive depositions of β-amyloid (Aβ) and abnormal level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered as the important pathogenic factors of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Strategies targeting only one of them have no obvious effects in clinic. In this study, a multifunctional nanocarrier CICe@M-K that crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) efficiently was developed for inhibiting Aβ aggregation and scavenging ROS synchronously. Antioxidant curcumin (Cur) and photosensitizer IR780 were loaded in mesoporous silica nanomaterials (MSNs). Their surfaces were grafted with cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) and a short peptide K (CKLVFFAED). Living imaging showed that CICe@M-K was mainly distributed in the brain, liver, and kidneys, indicating CICe@M-K crossed BBB efficiently and accumulated in brain. After the irradiation of 808 nm laser, Cur was continuously released. Both of Cur and the peptide K can recognize and bind to Aβ through multiple interaction including π-π stacking interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and hydrogen bond, inhibiting Aβ aggregation. On the other hand, Cur and CeO2 NPs cooperate to relieve the oxidative stress in the brains by scavenging ROS. In vivo assays showed that the CICe@M-K could diminish Aβ depositions, alleviate oxidative stress, and improve cognitive ability of the APP/PS1 AD mouse model, which demonstrated that CICe@M-K is a potential agent for AD treatment.

Abstract
β-amyloid (Aβ) is one of the important biomarkers for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Many near-infrared probes based on the donor-π-acceptor structure have been developed to detect Aβ. Most reported Aβ probes are based on the N,N-dimethylamino group as the ideal donor, which is a widely accepted binding unit. As such, the development of fluorescent probes with improved binding units to detect Aβ is urgently required. Therefore, with this research three anchoring molecular rotor electron donors consisting of cyclic amines of different ring sizes are developed, namely five-membered ring (TPyr), six-membered ring (TPip), and seven-membered ring (THAI). These new anchored molecular rotors are connected to a 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) and named TPyrBDP, TPipBDP, and THAIBDP. These probes exhibit high affinities (from 28 to 54 nm) for Aβ1-42 aggregates. The six-membered ring dye TPipBDP exhibits the highest signal-to-noise (75.5-fold) and higher affinity (28.30 ± 5.94 nm). TPipBDP can cross the blood-brain barrier and exhibits higher fluorescence enhancement with APP/PS1 (AD) double transgenic (Tg) mice than with wild-type (WT) mice.

Abstract
The deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques in the parenchymal and cortical regions of the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients is considered the foremost pathological hallmark of the disease. The early diagnosis of AD is paramount in order to effective management and treatment of the disease. Developing near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) probes targeting Aβ species is a potential and attractive approach suitable for the early and timely diagnosis of AD. The advantages of the NIRF probes over other tools include real-time detection, higher sensitivity, resolution, comparatively inexpensive experimental setup, and noninvasive nature. Currently, enormous progress is being observed in the development of NIRF probes for the in vivo imaging of Aβ species. Several strategies, i.e., the classical push-pull approach, "turn-on" effect, aggregation-induced emission (AIE), and resonance energy transfer (RET), have been exploited for development. We have outlined and discussed the recently emerged NIRF probes with different design strategies targeting Aβ species for ex vivo and in vivo imaging. We believe that understanding the recent development enables the prospect of the rational design of probes and will pave the way for developing future novel probes for early diagnosis of AD.

Abstract
The misfolding of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides into Aβ fibrillary aggregates is a major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which responsible for the excess production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a prominent reactive oxygen species (ROS) from the molecular oxygen (O2) by the reduction of the Aβ-Cu(I) complex. The excessive production of H2O2 causes oxidative stress and inflammation in the AD brain. Here, we have designed and developed a dual functionalized molecule VBD by using π-conjugation (C═C) in the backbone structure. In the presence of H2O2, the VBD can turn into fluorescent probe VBD-1 by cleaving of the selective boronate ester group. The fluorescent probe VBD-1 can undergo intramolecular charge transfer transition (ICT) by a π-conjugative system, and as a result, its emission increases from the yellow (532 nm) to red (590 nm) region. The fluorescence intensity of VBD-1 increases by 3.5-fold upon binding with Aβ fibrillary aggregates with a high affinity (Kd = 143 ± 12 nM). Finally, the VBD reduces the cellular toxic H2O2 as proven by the CCA assay and DCFDA assay and the binding affinity of VBD-1 was confirmed by using in vitro histological staining in 8- and 18-month-old triple transgenic AD (3xTg-AD) mice brain slices.

Abstract
Semiconducting polymer has a high extinction coefficient and a long band absorption and can be used as a photoacoustic imaging contrast agent. However, nonbiodegradable semiconducting polymers may cause biosafety issues due to being retained in the body. Therefore, developing degradable semiconducting polymers is necessary for in vivo imaging. Herein, we developed three degradable semiconducting polymers with unique optical properties. We adjusted the optical properties of semiconducting polymers by designing the molecular structure of semiconducting polymers. Polymers with a donor-π-acceptor structure could easily improve the optical properties through adjusting the donor or acceptor units. Through adjusting the electron-donor and -acceptor units, three diketopyrrolopyrrole derivative polymers (DPPTz, DPPQu, and DPPWu) were synthesized and converted into nanosize particles. By introducing the degradable chemical groups in the main chain structure of semiconducting polymers, diketopyrrolopyrrole polymers could be degraded by ClO-. Among these nanosize particles, DPPTz NPs and DPPQu NPs were used to achieve the in vivo photoacoustic imaging of λ-carrageenan-induced arthritis mouse model. This work provides a novel design idea for the designing of red-shifted semiconducting polymer with degradable properties.

Abstract
The formation and accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide are considered the crucial events that are responsible for the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, we have designed and synthesized a series of fluorescent probes by using electron acceptor-donor end groups interacting with a π-conjugating system for the detection of Aβ aggregates. The chemical structure of these probes denoted as RMs, having a conjugated π-system (C═C), showed a maximum emission in PBS (>600 nm), which is the best range for a fluorescent imaging probe. Among all these probes, RM-28 showed an excellent fluorescence property with an emission maximum of >598 nm upon binding to Aβ aggregates. RM-28 also showed high sensitivity (7.5-fold) and high affinities toward Aβ aggregates (Kd = 175.69 ± 4.8 nM; Ka = 0.5 × 107 M-1). It can cross the blood-brain barrier of mice efficiently. The affinity of RM-28 toward Aβ aggregates was observed in 3xTg-AD brain sections of the hippocampus and cortex region using a fluorescent imaging technique, as well as an in vitro fluorescence-based binding assay with Aβ aggregates. Moreover, RM-28 is highly specific to Aβ aggregates and does not bind with intracellular proteins like bovine serum albumin (BSA) and α-synuclein (α-Syn) aggregates. The results indicate that the probe RM-28 emerges as an efficient and veritable highly specific fluorescent probe for the detection of Aβ aggregates in both in vitro and in vivo model systems.

Abstract
The complex pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves the aggregation and accumulation of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) as well as elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which requires the development of comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. In this work, a multifunctional theranostic nano-composite (HSA-BFP@CDs) is constructed by conjugating triple-functionalized human serum albumin (HSA-BFP) as a theranostic agent targeting Aβ and carbon dots (CDs) as an ROS scavenger. HSA-BFP@CDs exhibits a fluorescence "off-on" effect at 700 nm upon interaction with Aβ aggregates, showing the capability for detection of Aβ plaques and potential for early diagnosis of AD. Besides, HSA-BFP@CDs effectively inhibits the aggregation of Aβ, increasing the viability of Aβ-treated cells from 74% to over 95% at 100 µg/mL. Moreover, multiple ROS, including hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and Aβ-Cu2+-induced-ROS, can be scavenged by HSA-BFP@CDs, thus resulting in the mitigation of cellular oxidative damages. Experiments with the AD model of Caenorhabditis elegans further demonstrate the multifunctionality of HSA-BFP@CDs in imaging amyloid plaques, reducing Aβ deposition, and relieving oxidative stress in vivo, showing the prospect for Aβ- and ROS-targeted AD diagnosis and treatment. This work provided new insight into the design of protein-carbon dots conjugate and the development of multi-target therapy of AD. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, which currently affects over 55 million people worldwide. Due to the complex pathogenesis of AD involving amyloid β-protein (Aβ) aggregation as well as elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), it is highly desired to develop comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. In this paper, we fabricated a multifunctional theranostic nano-composite (HSA-BFP@CDs) via the conjugation of triple-functionalized human serum albumin (HSA-BFP) and carbon dots (CDs). The multifunctionality of HSA-BFP@CDs for efficient detection of Aβ aggregates and inhibition of Aβ aggregation as well as scavenging of ROS was demonstrated, demonstrating the potential of the protein-carbon dots conjugate for the multi-target therapy of AD.

Abstract
Abstract
Benzothiazole derivatives are essential intermediates in synthesizing a wide variety of medical and pharmaceutical compounds, and there is a great demand for a simple and efficient method to synthesize benzothiazoles under mild reaction conditions. Organic electrosynthesis as an energy-efficient process represents an environmentally benign and safer method than traditional methods for organic synthesis. Herein, we present bromine-free and straightforward synthesis of 2-amino benzothiazole derivatives via the reaction of aniline derivatives and ammonium thiocyanate using electrosynthesis in the presence of sodium bromide both as an electrolyte and as a brominating agent at room temperature in isopropyl alcohol (i-PrOH) as a solvent. The reaction of ammonium thiocyanate via C–H thiolation routes, using various aniline derivatives, resulted in a simple, green, and bromine-free synthesis of 2-amino benzothiazole in moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions. Riluzole drug can be produced using the same procedure in moderate yields.
