Abstract
Noninvasive imaging of amyloid-β (Aβ) species in vivo is important for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this paper, we report a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence (FL) and positron emission tomography (PET) bimodal probe (NIR-[68Ga]) for in vivo imaging of both soluble and insoluble Aβ species. NIR-[68Ga] holds a high binding affinity, high selectivity and high sensitivity toward Aβ42 monomers, oligomers, and aggregates in vitro. In vivo imaging results show that NIR-[68Ga] can cross the blood-brain-barrier (BBB), and produce significantly higher PET and NIR FL bimodal signals in the brains of APP/PS1 transgenic AD mice relative to that of age-matched wild-type mice, which are also validated by the ex vivo autoradiography and histological staining images. Our results demonstrate that NIR-[68Ga] is an efficient NIR FL and PET bimodal probe for the sensitive imaging of soluble and insoluble Aβ species in AD mice.

Abstract
A curcumin derivative conjugated with Gd-DO3A (Gd-DO3A-Comp.B) was synthesised as an MRI contrast agent for detecting the amyloid-β (Aβ) fibrillation process. Gd-DO3A-Comp.B inhibited Aβ aggregation significantly and detected the fibril growth at 20 μM of Aβ with 10 μM of probe concentration by T1-weighted MR imaging. A curcumin derivative conjugated with Gd-DO3A (Gd-DO3A-Comp.B) was developed to significantly inhibit the amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation and detect the fibril growth by T1-weighted MR imaging.![]()

Abstract
Despite the wide use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a clinical diagnostic tool, there are still no clinically approved MRI contrast agents that can be applied for cerebral Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker imaging. We report here the design and development of the first amyloid-β (Aβ)-targeted, blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrable theranostic Gd(DOTA)-cyanine dyad, which was synthesized by the conjugation of Gd(DOTA) complex and carbazole-based cyanine dye by the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click reaction for imaging of Aβ in vivo and ex vivo in AD mouse models. This dyad, as a multimodal probe, possesses desirable multifunctional properties, including good biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, high Aβ selectivity, strong fluorescence enhancement upon binding with Aβ species, good paramagnetic properties, high stability, good BBB penetrability, and fast elimination from the mouse. The longitudinal relaxivity (r1) of the dyad was found to be 4.42 mM-1 s-1 at 3 T, suggesting it to be promising as a T1-weighted MRI contrast agent. The probe has been successfully demonstrated to be able to be applied for one- and two-photon excited fluorescence and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of Aβ in transgenic mouse models of AD. In addition, it can inhibit Aβ aggregation, protect against toxicity induced by Aβ, and suppress Aβ-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Our results demonstrate the highly promising theranostic capability of the dyad for diagnosis and therapy of AD and extraordinary potential for MRI of Aβ in humans.

Abstract
Protein aggregation has been widely implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington disease, as well as in systemic amyloidoses and conditions associated with localized amyloid deposits, such as type-II diabetes. The pressing need for a better understanding of the factors governing protein assembly has driven research for the development of molecular sensors for amyloidogenic proteins. To date, a number of sensors have been developed that report on the presence of protein aggregates utilizing various modalities, and their utility demonstrated for imaging protein aggregation in vitro and in vivo. Analysis of these sensors highlights the various advantages and disadvantages of the different imaging modalities and makes clear that multimodal sensors with properties amenable to more than one imaging technique need to be developed. This critical review highlights the key molecular scaffolds reported for molecular imaging modalities such as fluorescence, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging and includes discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of each modality, and future directions for the design of amyloid sensors. We also discuss the recent efforts focused on the design and development of multimodal sensors and the value of cross-validation across multiple modalities.

Abstract
Curcumin metal complexes showed widespread applications in medicine and can be exploited as a lead structure for developing new tracers for nuclear medicine application. Herein, the synthesis, chemical characterization and radiolabelling with gallium-68 and scandium-44 of two new targeting vectors based on curcumin scaffolds and linked to the chelators 1,4,7-triazacyclononane,1-glutaric acid-4,7-acetic acid (NODAGA) and 1,4-bis(carboxymethyl)-6-[bis(carboxymethyl)]amino-6-methylperhydro-1,4-diazepine (AAZTA) are reported. Synthesis of the precursors could be achieved with a 13% and 11% yield and radiolabelling generally afforded rapid incorporation under mild conditions (>95%). Stability in physiological media (~75% after 2 h in human blood for [68Ga]Ga-/[44Sc]Sc-AAZTA-PC21 and ~60% for [68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-C21, respectively) are generally enhanced if compared to the previously radiolabelled analogues. MSn fragmentation experiments showed high stability of the AAZTA-PC21 structure mainly due to the pyrazole derivatization of the curcumin keto-enol moiety and a more feasible radiolabelling was noticed both with gallium-68 and scandium-44 mainly due to the AAZTA-chelator properties. [68Ga]Ga-NODAGA-C21 showed the most favorable lipophilicity value (logD = 1.3). Due to these findings, both compounds appear to be promising candidates for the imaging of colorectal cancer, but further studies such as in vitro uptake and in vivo biodistribution experiments are needed.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have great potential in biomedical and clinical applications because of their many unique properties. This contribution provides an overview of the MNPs mainly used in the field of amyloid diseases. The first part discusses their use in understanding the amyloid mechanisms of fibrillation, with emphasis on their ability to control aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins. The second part deals with the functionalization by various moieties of numerous MNPs’ surfaces (molecules, peptides, antibody fragments, or whole antibodies of MNPs) for the detection and the quantification of amyloid aggregates. The last part of this review focuses on the use of MNPs for magnetic-resonance-based amyloid imaging in biomedical fields, with particular attention to the application of gadolinium-based paramagnetic nanoparticles (AGuIX), which have been recently developed. Biocompatible AGuIX nanoparticles show favorable characteristics for in vivo use, such as nanometric and straightforward functionalization. Their properties have enabled their application in MRI. Here, we report that AGuIX nanoparticles grafted with the Pittsburgh compound B can actively target amyloid aggregates in the brain, beyond the blood–brain barrier, and remain the first step in observing amyloid plaques in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of amyloid plaques is a powerful non-invasive approach for the early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) along with clinical observations of behavioral changes and cognitive impairment. The present article aims at giving a critical and comprehensive review of recent advances in the development of nanoparticle-based contrast agents for brain MRI. Nanoparticles considered for the MRI of AD must comply with a highly stringent set of requirements including low toxicity and the ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier. In addition, to reach an optimal signal-to-noise ratio, they must exhibit a specific ability to target amyloid plaques, which can be achieved by grafting antibodies, peptides or small molecules. Finally, we propose to consider new directions for the future of MRI in the context of Alzheimer's disease, in particular by enhancing the performances of contrast agents and by including therapeutic functionalities following a theranostic strategy.
