There is considerable evidence for a role for metabolic dysregulation, including disordered purine nucleotide metabolism, in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Purine nucleotide synthesis in the brain is regulated with high fidelity to co-ordinate supply with demand. The assembly of some purine biosynthetic enzymes into linear filamentous aggregates called "cytoophidia" (Gk.

Although the corticobasal syndrome was originally most closely linked with the pathology of corticobasal degeneration, the 2013 Armstrong clinical diagnostic criteria, without the addition of aetiology-specific biomarkers, have limited positive predictive value for identifying corticobasal degeneration pathology in life. Autopsy studies demonstrate considerable pathological heterogeneity in corticobasal syndrome, with corticobasal degeneration pathology accounting for only ∼50% of clinically diagnosed individuals. Individualized disease stage and progression modelling of brain changes in corticobasal syndrome may have utility in predicting this underlying pathological heterogeneity, and in turn improve the design of clinical trials for emerging disease-modifying therapies.

Structure-activity relationship studies were performed on a library of synthesized compounds based on previously identified tau ligands. The top 13 new compounds had values in the range of 5-14 nM in Alzheimer's disease (AD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) post-mortem brain tissues. One of the more promising new compounds ([H]) bound with high affinity in AD, PSP, and CBD tissues ('s = 1-1.

[F]PI-2620 is a promising radiopharmaceutical for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and non-Alzheimer's disease (non-AD) tauopathies in humans. An array of fluorinated derivatives of the carbazole scaffold of PI-2620 were synthesized and evaluated. binding assays with [H]PI-2620 in human tissues with AD, progressive supranuclear palsy, and corticobasal degeneration, combined with predictions of blood-brain barrier permeability, led to the selection and radiosynthesis of [F]F-4 as a promising radiotracer.
