| Abstract | Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is linked to increased brain deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in senile plaques (SPs), and recent therapeutic efforts have focused on inhibiting the production or enhancing the clearance of Aβ in brain. However, it has not been possible to measure the burden of SPs or assess the effect of potential therapies on brain Aβ levels in patients. Toward that end, we have developed a novel radioligand, [$^{125}$I]TZDM, which binds Aβ fibrils with high affinity, crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and labels amyloid plaques in vivo. Compared to a styrylbenzene probe, [$^{125}$I]IMSB, [$^{125}$I]TZDM showed a 10-fold greater brain penetration and labeled plaques with higher sensitivity for in vivo imaging. However, this ligand also labels white matter, which contributes to undesirable high background regions of the brain. Interestingly, parallel to their differential binding characteristics onto fibrils composed of 40 (Aβ40)- or 42 (Aβ42)-amino-acid-long forms of Aβ peptides, these radioligands displayed differential labeling of SPs in AD brain sections under our experimental conditions. It was observed that [$^{125}$I]IMSB labeled SPs containing Aβ40, amyloid angiopathy (AA), and neurofibrillary tangles, whereas [$^{125}$I]TZDM detected only SPs and Aβ42-positive AA. Since increased production and deposition of Aβ42 relative to Aβ40 may be crucial for the generation of SPs, [$^{125}$I]TZDM and related derivatives may be more attractive probes for in vivo plaque labeling. Further structural modifications of TZDM to lower the background labeling will be needed to optimize the plaque-labeling property. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
