Biological Activity for CRANAD 2

Key information: CRANAD 2 is a curcumin derivatized near-infrared probe that binds to Aβ40 aggregates. Penetrates the blood-brain barrier.

Used for: amyloid- detection in vitro, tissue and in vivo. Shown to bind to plaques in APP-PS1 transgenic mice, in vitro. Detects senile plaques in 19-month-old Tg2576 mice in vivo.

Application: Fluorescence microscopy, epifluorescence microscopy.

Properties and Photophysical Data: CRANAD 2 binds to Aβ40 aggregates (Kd = 38 nM) and elicits upon interacting with Aβ aggregates, an emission blue shift (from 805 nm to 715 nm). When unbound in PBS, excitation and emission maxima (λ) are 640 nm and 805 nm, respectively.
