Abstract
Formation of neurofibrillary tangles, comprising of microtubule-associated tau protein, is a hallmark of a group of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. In consequence, in vivo imaging of neurofibrillary tangles is a current focus of positron emission tomography research. Herein, development of an in vitro radioligand binding assay which uses synthetic aggregates as a model of neurofibrillary tangles is reported, together with evaluation of novel derivatives of the tau protein ligand astemizole.
