Description: Fluorescent amyloid β detector; brain penetrant
Chemical Name: 4,4'-[(2-methoxy-1,4-phenylene)di-(1E)-2,1-ethenediyl]bisphenol
Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Methoxy-X04
Methoxy-X04 is a fluorescent amyloid β (Aβ) probe for the detection and quantification of plaques, tangles and cerebrovascular amyloid. Methoxy-X04 displays high in vitro binding affinity (Ki = 26.8 nM); binds selectively to fibrillar β-sheet deposits. Methoxy-X04 is a derivative of Congo Red (Cat. No. 5167). Methoxy-X04 can be used for in vivo Aβ plaque labeling. Methoxy-X04 co-localizes with CD68+ phagosomes in plaque-associated Iba1+ microglia; and it labels molecularly distinct plaque-associated microglia populations. Brain penetrant.
