A copper radiopharmaceutical for diagnostic imaging of Alzheimer's disease: a bis(thiosemicarbazonato)copper(ii) complex that binds to amyloid-β plaquesElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Experimental details. See DOI: 10.1039/c0cc01175d

A bis(thiosemicarbazonato)copper( ii ) complex with an appended stilbene functional group binds to amyloid-β plaques that are associated with Alzheimer's disease. The complex has the potential to be of use as a copper-64 radiopharmaceutical to assist in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease by positron emission tomography.
