Anle138b and related compounds are aggregation specific fluorescence markers and reveal high affinity binding to α-synuclein aggregates

Abstract: Background: Special diphenyl-pyrazole compounds and in particular anle138b were found to reduce the progression of prion and Parkinson's disease in animal models. The therapeutic impact of these compounds was attributed to the modulation of α-synuclein and prion-protein aggregation related to these diseases. Methods: Photophysical and photochemical properties of the diphenyl-pyrazole compounds anle138b, anle186b and sery313b and their interaction with monomeric and aggregated α-synuclein were studied by fluore… Show more

“…There is strong interest in the discovery of small compounds that can act as chemical chaperones modulating the aggregation of α-syn [15,16,17,18,19,20]. In the absence of a defined 3D-structure to target, screening of large collections of chemically diverse compounds is a useful approach toward the discovery of novel bioactive molecules exhibiting an α-syn anti-aggregational effect.…”

“…[9] Diphenylpyrazoles such as anle138b (1) were identified from a large-scale screening to inhibit pathological aggregation of prion protein (PrP sc ) and αSyn in vivo [10] and their direct binding to αSyn fibrils was demonstrated in vitro by fluorescence spectroscopy. [11] This led us to the hypothesis that the anle138b family might represent good candidates for the development of PET tracers for αSyn aggregation. As anle253b (2) from the compound list originally reported [12] bears a methyl group suitable for 11 C-methylation (t 1/2 = 20.3 min) we selected this compound as a starting point for tracer development.…”

“…3‐(1,3‐benzodioxol‐5‐yl)‐5‐(3‐bromophenyl)‐1H‐pyrazole (ANLE138b) has been the first oligomer modulator providing an approach to modify neurodegenerative diseases, such as Prion Disease and PD . ANLE138b reduced the aggregation of aSYN and inhibited disease progression in a PD mouse model, even when treatment had been started after disease onset.…”
