Abstract

We herein report a fluorescence probe 1 capable of detecting water-soluble oligomeric Aβ aggregates and Aβ fibrils. Upon injection into Aβ42-challenged mouse brains, probe 1 shows increased fluorescence intensity, indicating its facile binding to extracellular Aβ fibrils in brain tissues.
