Description

Myelin is a lipid multilayer involved in the rate of nerve transmission, and its loss is a pathological feature of multiple sclerosis in brains. Since in vivo imaging of myelin may be useful for drug development, early diagnosis, and monitoring the disease stage, we designed, synthesized, and evaluated eight novel radioiodinated 3-phenylcoumarin derivatives as imaging probes targeting myelin. In the biodistribution study using normal mice, all compounds displayed sufficient brain uptake, ranging from 2.5 to 5.0% ID/g, at 2 min postinjection. On ex vivo autoradiography, [
