For various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), the abnormal aggregation of Tau is not only the predominant contributing factor but also a major biomarker for disease diagnosis. In this study, a series of aza-fused tricyclic derivatives were designed and synthesized. By changing the position and number of nitrogen atoms on the fused tricyclic core, the imidazonaphthyridine scaffold was screened and reported for the first time which could potentially detect Tau aggregates.

We recently discovered that five- and pseudo-five-fused-ring derivatives in an imidazonaphthyridine series were promising hit compounds for the development of new DNA-intercalators. In this study, novel (dihydro)imidazo[1,6] and [1,7]naphthyridi(no)nes were prepared including pseudo-pentacycles. All the compounds synthesized were screened against four tumor cell lines.

The absorption and fluorescence characteristics of three substituted imidazonaphthyridine derivatives are studied in a series of organic solvents. The variation of Stokes shift with the polarity parameter of the solvent is studied and the excited state dipole moment of these derivatives is higher than the ground state dipole moment. The fluorescence lifetime profile shows single exponential decay in all the solvents.
