Development of Potential PET Ligand for Imaging Mutant Huntingtin Aggregates

Posted by Evotec on Sep 13, 2021 8:06:10 PM

Mutant huntingtin (mHTT) forms protein aggregates characteristic of Huntington's Disease pathology.

In this publication, we focus on:

  • a background to Huntington's Disease including the mutant huntingtin gene (mHTT)
  • a discussion of the benefits of sensitive biomarkers to monitor disease progression
  • the discovery of an mHTT aggregate-specific PET ligand suitable for live brain imaging

Pharmacological Characterization of Mutant Huntingtin Aggregate-Directed PET Imaging Tracer Candidates

Posted by Evotec on Sep 13, 2021 8:03:47 PM

Huntington's Disease is caused a mutation in the huntingtin (mHTT) gene which codes for the huntingtin (HTT) protein.

In this publication, we focus on:

  • a background to link between Huntington's Disease and the mutant huntingtin gene (mHTT)
  • the development of PET tracers for imaging mHTT aggregates
  • characterisation of these PET tracers including pharmacological investigation of their binding affinities and selectivity
