Compounds for targeting and agents for imaging, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) are disclosed. Methods of synthesizing compounds and imaging agents, as well as methods for imaging PSMA are also disclosed. The imaging agents disclosed are suitable for PET and SPECT imaging.

PSMA imaging agents

Compounds for targeting and agents for imaging, Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) are disclosed. Methods of synthesizing compounds and imaging agents, as well as methods for imaging PSMA are also disclosed. The imaging agents disclosed are suitable for PET and SPECT imaging.

Novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions having MMP inhibitory activity are disclosed, which have been found to be particularly useful in the prevention, treatment and diagnostic imaging of diseases associated with an unpaired activity of MMP, amongst others MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9 and/or MMP-13 to name a few. The compounds of the present invention are useful for the prevention, the treatment and the in vivo diagnostic imaging of a range of disease states (inflammatory, malignant and degenerative diseases) where specific matrix metalloproteinases are known to be involved.

Compounds with matrix-metalloproteinase inhibitory activity and imaging agents thereof

Disclosed here in are compounds and methods of diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease or a predisposition thereto in a mammal, the method comprising administering to the mammal a diagnostically effective amount of a radiolabeled compound, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of radiolabeled carbazoles and derivatives thereof and triazoles derivatives, allowing the compound to distribute into the brain tissue, and imaging the brain tissue, wherein an increase in binding of the compound to the brain tissue compared to a normal control level of binding indicates that the mammal is suffering from or is at risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease.

Imaging agents for detecting neurological dysfunction

Imaging agents of formulas (I)-(V) and methods for detecting neurological disorders comprising administering to a patient in need compounds of formulas (I)-(V) capable of binding to tau proteins and &#x3b2;-amyloid peptides are presented herein. The invention also relates to methods of imaging A&#x3b2; and tau aggregates comprising introducing a detectable quantity of pharmaceutical formulation comprising a radiolabeled compound of formulas (I)-(V) and detecting the labeled compound associated with amyloid deposits and/or tau proteins in a patient. These methods and compositions enable preclinical diagnosis and monitoring progression of AD and other neurological disorders.

Imaging agents for detecting neurological disorders

Imaging agents of formula (I) and methods for detecting neurological disorders comprising administering ti a patient in need compounds of formula (I) capable of binding to tau proteins and &#x3b2;-amyloid peptides are presented herein. The invention also relates to methods of imaging A&#x3b2; and tau aggregates comprising introducing a detectable quantity of pharmaceutical formulation comprising a radiolabeled compound of formula (I) and detecting the labeled compound associated with amyloid deposits and/or tau proteins in a patient. These methods and compositions enable preclinical diagnosis and monitoring progression of AD and other neurological disorders.

Provided herein are compounds and compositions which comprise the formulae as disclosed herein, wherein the compound is an amyloid binding compound. An amyloid binding compound according to the invention may be administered to a patient in amounts suitable for in vivo imaging of amyloid deposits, and distinguish between neurological tissue with amyloid deposits and normal neurological tissue. Amyloid probes of the invention may be used to detect and quantitate amyloid deposits in diseases including, for example, Down's syndrome, familial Alzheimer's Disease. In another embodiment, the compounds may be used in the treatment or prophylaxis of neurodegenerative disorders. Also provided herein are methods of allowing the compound to distribute into the brain tissue, and imaging the brain tissue, wherein an increase in binding of the compound to the brain tissue compared to a normal control level of binding indicates that the mammal is suffering from or is at risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease.

Imaging agents useful for identifying AD pathology

Disclosed here in are compounds and methods of diagnosing Alzheimer's Disease or a predisposition thereto in a mammal, the method comprising administering to the mammal a diagnostically effective amount of a radiolabeled compound, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of radiolabeled flavones, coumarins, carbazoles, quinolinones, chromenones, imidazoles and triazoles derivatives, allowing the compound to distribute into the brain tissue, and imaging the brain tissue, wherein an increase in binding of the compound to the brain tissue compared to a normal control level of binding indicates that the mammal is suffering from or is at risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease.

The present invention is directed to small molecule inhibitors of the IgE response to allergens, which are useful in the treatment of allergy and/or asthma or any diseases where IgE is pathogenic. This invention also relates to phenyl-aza-benzimidazole molecules that are cellular proliferation inhibitors and thus are useful as anticancer agents. This invention further relates to small molecules which suppress cytokines and leukocytes.
